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
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.
No... I used it the correct way, so if u didn't read the comment then maybe u shouldn't start with me.
There is NO correct way to use it!!!!!
Yes there is... Mental disability is one of them.... Ur stupid

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.
Just cuz u don't like it Still doesn't mean it was never a medical term...
I never said that. I know the history behind that word. And how people with disabilities were treated not that long ago. The people that I help live their lives as independently as they possibly can in the community were treated really bad when they were younger and got called that name. You sounded completely ignorant saying it at all whether it was directed at anyone or not. The word is no longer used. That is the point.

Wow, this thread became a deja vu nightmare of a previous friend of mine, who went all agro on her newborn baby because she felt like her getting pregnant ruined her life and her 9 month relationship with the baby daddy.
A debate about the proper term for mentally and physically disabled people is how it started....needless to say, after how psychotic she went, we aren't friends anymore and I feel bad for her baby because the poor child has to live with her for the next 16 years of her life (she's 2 now, was only 2 months when this all happened). For her sake, I hope the minute she turns 18 she runs for the hills, because her mom is whacked!
