I'm 1/2 German, 1/4 Italian, and 1/4 English. My mom was a wop in grade school and I was "Hitler's child" in the second grade.
i do a ton of work for/with people with developmental disabilities and never would call them retarded or tards. all the ones i've worked with are downright awesome people and way cooler than most fully functioning adults.
however, i do call other people retarded, mostly when in the work truck and someone pulls out in front of me and jams their brakes because the found the turn they missed the first time, expecting 5 tons of rig to have the same stopping distance as a corvette.
gingers have no soul, so their evil actions arent really their fault, are they?
Your forgetting Frog's, cheese eating surrender monkeys or what ever else you'd like to call those of the Norman persuasion :)
More seriously the only thing CarGuy123 is doing by defending the use of the word is making himself look like one…Oh snap that's gone all wrong.
Come on guys, it's offensive, it's not justifiable, but occasionally against our own better judgment it can be funny (not in this case). We know we shouldn't laugh, but everyone here has done so at some point and felt bad about it later. Let's try and keep this one little corner of the web above that B.S.
Hey, as long as it makes you feel superior....
It's amazing how character is revealed sometimes.

Maybe my post was too jokey, I'm not defending this in any way, it's wrong, I'm just admitting that at time's I (and I assume others) have laughed at something sick which we should know better about. More to the point carguy is wrong.

No, not you, Adrian- I'm speaking of the people who like to belittle other people. And then justify it somehow. I totally agree that carguy needs some help.
Sorry about the confusion.

So..... You talk like a fag and your E36 M3's all retarded.
This thread is berkeleying mentally challenged. Thanks Corey.

I don't think I can afford the legal fees required to post in this thread.

Hey, as long as it makes you feel superior, go for it...
HEALY:
I work with retards.
MARY:
I beg your pardon?
HEALY:
You know...the guys who ride the short bus.
MARY:
Isn't that a little politically incorrect?
HEALY:
The hell with that. No one's gonna tell me
who I can and can't work with.
MARY:
No, I mean
HEALY:
--There's this one kid, we call him Mongo
on account of he's a mongoloid. He got out
of his cage once and--
MARY:
--He's in a cage?!
HEALY:
Well it's more of an enclosure really.
MARY:
They keep him confined? That's bull!
HEALY:
That's what I said, so I went out and got
him a leash you know, one of those
clothesline runners for the backyard. He's
got plenty of room out there to dig. The
kid's really blossomed. Now I can take him
to ball games, movies--you know, happy
stuff.
MARY:
That sounds like fun.
HEALY:
Yeah, it's fun for them, but it's heaven
for me.
(getting emotional)
Those goofy bastards are just about the
best thing I have in this crazy old world.
(checks watch)
Ooh, hey, I gotta run.

Not really, but I do have to admit that I'm concerned about the "Kick a Ginger Day" thing catching on...

I'm sorry... was there something I implied by pasting the definition of the word according to Webster? I think you are probably an over sensitive ninny who is, in fact, implying his own superiority by saying that its wrong to use the word RETARD in any form or fashion.
The word RETARD is the softer more PC word for IDIOT, which was put in to place by those who felt IDIOT was too strong a word when (presumably) 6th graders were overusing it as an insult. What do you call that thing you do when your distributor is too far advanced? Go on, its ok. You can say it. No one will think you are exhibiting an air of superiority.

I'm not the one trying to justify using the word. I'm assuming you are posting the definition so you can feel better about any word.
So as long as it gives you an air of superiority, keep justifying and using it.
Good luck with that.

As a matter of fact, there was.
First off, I'm not sure where you found "Webster's" definition. Here's their website- doesn't show what you showed:
Webster's defintion
Secondly, however, is that the thread is about the word "tard". You defined the word "retard". They are different words.
"Negroid" is not the same word as "ni__er". Though one is derived from the other, one is a scientific word while the other is patently offensive.
