I don't think you should be taking this so lightly, somebody may get offended and take to Facebook to 'launch an attack' on you.
OHHH NOES!!!!!! 

PS - she's r'tarded

I think someone switched our regular discussion on public policy with "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" just to see if we would notice.
This kind of reminds me of Artie Lange's bit about 'little people' saying that the word 'midget' is equal to the N-word when it is used to insult black people. So Artie says he decided to try it out one Saturday night and he discovered that the little people are wrong. Calling one of them 'midget' will get you a kick in the shin while calling a black guy the N-word will get the shit kicked out of you. No way are they equal.
The 'debate' over the word retard is about on par with Artie's word experiment on the street. Retarded, in other words.
It was just so ridiculous that I couldn't pass it up! It also reminded me of what is going on in the State of Ohio, 1 idiot down in Columbus decided that MRDD on the Buses was not PC, so everyone of them in the State of Ohio must be Repainted, during this fiscal crisis!! That is a Whole lot of money, to erase the "R" word and it was just the letter "R"!! Oh, well it keeps my youngest in a job, since he has to repaint a lot of them!
a) nice way to get your kid a job
b) what's next? banning the letter R altogether? sesame street will not be pleased.
Stimulus money probably going .. politicians spending your money .. what could go wrong. That's why it is important that we give the federal govt more power and control and more money to spend ... makes cents don't it?
Local MRDD is going to have to cut back services because of the money mandated for the relabeling of everything including all Letterheads, forms, buildings, uniforms, buses, everything! This idjit has done more harm to the people he is supposedly defending than any label on a bus ever did!!

I guess it's like how only blacks can use the "N" word! Rush gets to use the "R" word!
