I don't like it when...
People say mentaly retarded when refering to mentaly handicaped people.Even when they don't mean it in a negative way,I still think it is quite mean.BTW i am not mentaly handicap.And I know i will get flack for this just like alot of my other posts,but I have a right to free speach and my comments are harmeless.So to you people who are going to give me lots of flack or insults,say whatever you want,it doesn't change anything.
"People leave the first message blank? Yeah, I'm totally there with ya..."I was going to say that godamnit xD
I found this in the source code. I'm not sure why it didn't show up in the message.

"You've got it completely the wrong way round. Referring to someone who is mentally handicapped as retarded can be right, since they might be mentally retarded, or at worst just be a little bit ignorant about mental illnesses. Calling a person who is mentally healthy a retard when they do something a bit stupid is extremely offensive to people who actually suffer from retardation. It's as offensive to retards as the word nigger is to black people, but because it offends a smaller, less vocal minority it has become socially acceptable to say it, and that is wrong. The social acceptability of using the word spastic to mean someone who's done something a bit stupid (rather than it's actual definition of a cerebral palsy sufferer) died out years ago. Retard needs to do the same.People say mentaly retarded when refering to mentaly handicaped people.Even when they don't mean it in a negative way,I still think it is quite mean.BTW i am not mentaly handicap.And I know i will get flack for this just like alot of my other posts,but I have a right to free speach and my comments are harmeless.So to you people who are going to give me lots of flack or insults,say whatever you want,it doesn't change anything.People say mentaly retarded when refering to mentaly handicaped people.Even when they don't mean it in a negative way,I still think it is quite mean.BTW i am not mentaly handicap.And I know i will get flack for this just like alot of my other posts,but I have a right to free speach and my comments are harmeless.So to you people who are going to give me lots of flack or insults,say whatever you want,it doesn't change anything."
