Because you can't empathize. Have you ever been gay? Have you ever been retarded? No? Ok, then you can't be empathetic. You don't know what it's like to walk in their shoes. You can only use malformed comparisons.

What you are doing is coddling. It makes them weaker than they already are. They need to learn to stand up and spit in the face of those that try to put them down.

I suppose I used the incorrect word...I guess I could put myself in their shoes in a different situation. I have been called bitch, whore, slut before and I can understand not being cool with those words being used as casual references...

Wait...does that makes sense? Sympathize maybe?

"Challenged"

How is 'mentally challenged' any different than 'retard'?

that's a strange decision... the term 'disabled' has a lot of stigma and negative association, too.

retarded surely just comes from the purely scientific vocabularly to quite literally mean 'slowed'. i'd rather be called 'slowed' than out and out disabled, any day.

Exactly. If anyone can come up with a descriptive phrase to explain the affliction without it being used in a negative way, I'd use that.

....otherwise this argument is dead from the start.

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I meant otherwise this argument is "physically and mentally unable to perform" from the start.

Derogatory term for a Jewish person. It's spelled "kike".

This commercial told me that dumb, stupid, retard, etc... are the proper terms. Now this says otherwise. WTF?

These words get this stigma because of the things they are related to, and no amount of word wish washing will ever change that.

Trying to avoid words simply because of the stigma attached to them leads to shit like "Invalid Children".

well you are a member of a website and a moderator of a website that tosses around those terms all the time. seems odd if you feel that way tbh.

The retards from Glee can take that spastic message and shove it up their handicapped asses.

If you want to talk about unacceptable, this is the same show that joked about the My Lai massacre.

"my mastery of camouflage is the only thing that kept me from being court-martialed after that My Lai misunderstanding"

It's disgusting that they would joke around with something as horrible as My Lai, and then push this retard psa to make you feel sorry.

Read about the My Lai "misunderstanding" if you're not familiar with it:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Lai_Massacre

I'm at work so can't find a youtube link, but the joke was made during their Christmas special. Cunts.
