@ahylton08 let me try to explain this to you. This is a COMMUNITY. We post to have fun, get feedback, support each other when needed, etc. We get to know each other.
When you come here and insult us and say offensive things, you are not welcome, especially since you clearly don't have the sensitivity to own up to what you said was wrong and apologize. This is the same thing if you were to go up to a group of people, insult them, and then get surprised when they don't want to talk to you later.
I think finding a different forum is probably the best choice for you at this point.
Oh shut up I didn't offend anybody.... Your just hormonal :-@
You may not be how it is offensive, which I don't understand given your family history, but some of us have dedicated our lives and careers to end the abuse on the "R" word, and to advocate for the individuals that can't do so for themselves.

Retardation became offensive a couple years ago. I don't run around and call people retards. Like I said your only offended cuz hormonal. Bye!

Yet its what you choose to use to refer to children as. What a winner you are.
ETA: Believe me sweetie I am not hormonal, as I said earlier I am defending the ones who can't. If you choose to say I am, oh well I just might have to cry in my pillow tonight.
Go home, smoke your pot, get you AND YOUR BABY HIGH, because in all honesty you are a lost cause.

So ignoring the fact that you sound like you really don't have a clue...you acknowledge that the phrase you used (which included the word retarded) is offensive?

I didn't insult anybody... At all so that's a no to an apology, so find another post to comment on. Cuz clearly your opinion isn't wanted on mine... It's offensive!
@hikerlady I was just thinking that. Its like what the hell type of sheltered life does this person live in? And they are going to teach values to a child. Pfft. That's just sad.

So ignoring the fact that you sound like you really don't have a clue...you acknowledge that the phrase you used (which included the word retarded) is offensive? I've seen many professionals use the word retard and retardation..... Many times... Get over it.... Your argument is stupid

Do you see the phrase you're quoting that you said yourself "retardation became offensive a few years ago"...put two and two together...you can do it....I can't bring myself to believe I live in a world with someone being as dense as you. Let's try using a little logic, okay? Just for a sec, let's see if you can muster some common sense.
@ahylton08 yeah a decade ago maybe. I AM a professional who possesses DEGREES in the field of psychology. Please.. tell me.. where did you get your PhD in psychology from doctor?
And I feel like I'm talking to a bunch of ignorant hillbillies... No one has even explained how they're offended... Everybody is acting like they've never used the word "retard" "retardation" a day in your life
@ahylton08 yeah a decade ago maybe. I AM a professional who possesses DEGREES in the field of psychology. Please.. tell me.. where did you get your PhD in psychology from doctor?
Well then u sound stupid arguing with someone without a phd about a word that changed it's meaning a few years ago.... As a matter of fact shouldn't u be working or doing something pertaining to your career?
And I feel like I'm talking to a bunch of ignorant hillbillies... No one has even explained how they're offended... Everybody is acting like they've never used the word "retard" "retardation" a day in your life
I was brought up to learn that saying it was profane, it was treated as any other profane word. My children will be brought up the same way, the way to stop ignorance is to stop spreading it.
My heart breaks for your sister who has had to deal with your intolerance and ignorance every day of her life.
No, I was actually trying educating you in a not offensive way (trying to not insult you.. its tough) WHY that word is offensive. Yet you still dont get it. So yeah, your acting like a troll starting trouble in a community that doesnt particularly cherish your input so im done feeding your crazy form of entertainment.
Oh shut up I didn't offend anybody.... Your just hormonal :-@
are you kidding me??????????? Ummmm im pretty sure im offended because any normal person would be. It has NOTHING to do with hormones. I work with people and care about people with disabilities-developmentally and physically. I can not stand that word.
It was a medical term. Ugly People like u made it offensive. My sister is 16 with autism and mental retardation was the term used by her doctors. I would never purposely offend anyone with a disability, in fact I'm licensed to work with anyone with a disability! U ladies just need to grow up and not pass your negativity on to your own kids
Sorry no forgive and forget from me after the "retarted children" comment. Why do you want opinions from such negative people that you clearly don't like anyway?
I never said anything bad about children that have mental retardation... I made a comparison. I think that if u have a problem with a post... Then u just shouldn't respond to them.
This is cute. Why don't you try taking some of your own advice?

It was a medical term. Then people started using is as an offense term synonymous with stupid. People with disabilities often get called retarded as a negative horrible term. So now it is not a medical term, nor an appropriate term to use at all. I can't believe in 2014 this still needs to be explained. Please visit the website I referenced above: https://www.r-word.org
@sugahcookie01 If I say this girl is trash, that's against the TOU, right? Okay, then I'll say she's acting like trash, and it seems to be coming naturally to her.

Just cuz u don't like it Still doesn't mean it was never a medical term...

You know I will give you that it was a medical term. What makes it ugly is when a person like YOU uses it in a derogatory way. Obviously the reason YOU are the one being told you're offensive is because YOU are the only person here to have used it in that manner.
Get a fucking clue.

Educate me by sending me facts or a link. Not by asking what degrees I have.
@ahylton08 the "N" word used to be a very popular term, it is no longer used because it is derogatory, I don't think you would condone the use of that word now would you. So likewise the "R" word should be looked at as the same, a offensive term that should no longer be used.
I mean, I'm not going to say/write any of them, but I think we can ALL think of a few words that were used popularly/ in professional settings in the past that are like, REALLY offensive now. Are you actually trying to act like you can't understand that concept?

Its not that she can't understand it shes choose not to. The reason being she fucked up and has herself backed up into a corner now. People like this is why ignorance is still out there in the world.

You didn't even spell it right so please enlighten me on how the hell you used it correctly? Oh and if your intention was to use it in a medical sense of the term then the old fashioned and outdated term would me Mentally Retarded. Not retarted.
As for I shouldn't start with you does it seem like I give a damn? Maybe you should buy a dictionary before you open anymore cans of worms.
