> Since you aren’t retarded SMH... Why would you use the term after I've asked nicely that you don't? Are you just trolling at this point? Why does it bother me when people use it? I work with young people who struggle with both physical and mental disadvantages. Nobody wants that term associated with them. The use of the term perpetuates an inaccurate stigma that many of these young people often face. Have I answered your question? You never really answered mine: *When you know that people take offense to a term, what justification is there to use the term?*
