I'm getting pissed off.
Why do you people call them 'tards?
THAT IS FU***** OFFENSIVE!
CAll them "mentally challenged" "retarded" or, if you must, "A person with special needs"
Those are more pollitically correct.
Please heed my words.
I really agree with whoever posted this, and I respect them for going out and standing up for our mentally challenged firends.
To all who use the term "tard":
How would you like it if they called you something like that?
You have to realize that they are so much like us non-mentally challenged, you are almost being a hypocrite calling them that.

I agree. The word "Tard" is just so horrible. It's a major put-down.

Most of them are BETTER than us, if not all of them, because they're the most genuinely friendly, non-discriminatory, affectionate, and open people one will ever know. I've had the privilege of working with the developmentally disabled, and a brief interaction with any of them never failed to brighten my day.

Hm, get a new Job, please, elaborate on how I need to grow up. I gave a speech on how to be politically correct. And apparantly, you need to grow up. "'tard" really is a horrible word. A HORRID WORD. And all you can think of is me growing up because of YOUR stupidity. God, people like you make me just want to pull my hair out.

Antagonizing people on the Web, people you'll never actually see face to face, just to get a rise out of them, eh? There's a surprise. Step in front of the next bus.

Wow, you have anger management problems, don't you? The movie pretty much made people with those disabilties seem like normal people. I mean, they are not to be made fun of. The movie showed that even people with disabilities can do those better than those who don't have them... gosh, way to be stupid, right?

Fantastic job in the movie, my man. Looked like it was a blast to be part of it. Unfortunately, it would appear that not everyone who's seen it has been enlightened on humanity.
share<<<<<CAll them "mentally challenged" "retarded" or, if you must, "A person with special needs">>>>>>
Soooooo, what you're saying is that the word "tard" is a terrible, horrible, horrid word, but it's okay to call them "retarded"? That makes absolutely no sense at all.
Oh, if that's not bad enough the way you worded your post <<<call them mentally challenged, retarded or, if you must, a person with special needs.>>>> You put "if you must" before "a person with special needs" like calling them someone with special needs is so much more damaging than being called retarded.

I agree with you. "Retard" and "tard" are the same thing. It's like saying *beep* is ok and *beep* isn't. Screw that, I make it a point to say *beep* when i mean *beep* and visa versa. Political correctness is dumb and we need to remember what free speech is.
shareA Tard by any other name is still a Tard.
--William Shakespeare
He resorts to calling us gay. Which is a very immature thing to do. He's just covering up for his own homosexuality.
By the way, it says BALLS on your face.

I agree with you. Apparently their vocabulary skills are RETARDED.
The proper term used by professionals is "Developmentally Disabled"
Look, you all make hilarious points here, but the fact is none of you are perfect either. Face the facts, we live in a wolrd where politcal correctness really doesn't matter. Stop getting all sensitive about the use of the word TARD. I grew up pretty different myself and I was always called a freak for it. So you know what you do, YOU LAUGH. You all take things far too seriously these days. You have to understand that most of these people who say this stuff are just looking to get a rise out of you. Don't play their game because you'll only lose the madder you get.
shareFirst let's stop refering to people as "them".
The whole idea of labeling groups of people based on intellect, race, religion, sexual preference, ect., is based on accentuating our differences, and that is all about power. If people spent more time focusing on our similarites, there might a lot less "us vs. them" and a whole lot less hate and war.
And yeah, I know how utopian, idealistic, and impossible that sounds, but what are you gonna do... hate me?
