    AGREED!!
    I should add that I mean words that do not traditionally carry an offensive meaning but end up with those connotations. With some words, I can appreciate why people take offense.

    Of course "nigger" is offensive. "Retard" should not be.

    Who calls people with Mental disabilities or Special needs RETARDED?

    isn't that a term for the 50's?

    and shouldn't it be able to be used mainstream to mean goofus/doofy stupid-ish silly?

    you don't call special needs individuals RETARDED. that is offensive.

    I do think it's offensive. What if you had a child who was retarded and heard people using it in a derogatory fashion?
