Re: Stupid selfish humans!!!!!

  • I wouldn't want to stay either, especially with a newborn. Surely, the baby doesn't need to get sick!

  • That sucks. So does using the word "retard" casually. Find a different descriptor.

    I agree that may not have been the best choice of words. I'm sure she was just upset and didn't think abt it.

    Agreed. I understand you were upset but please, please, please remove this word from your vocabulary. My mom has worked with special needs children pretty much my whole life and it can be devastating for people to hear, it is an extremely offensive word.
  • I would be upset. I would leave discreetly and tell your husband that he can stay if he wants and you can go somewhere else
  • I just can't get past the idea that people actually use the "r" word to describe someone ignorant.

  • I just can't get past the idea that people actually use the "r" word to describe someone ignorant.

    Where I come from, it's normal.  Ppl use it to describe someone ignorant or stupid. Different places use words differently. Not saying it's right but that's my experience. My hunny and I have gotten into arguements bc he grew up in a different location than I did so he uses the webster's definition of the words and I use what they mean where I'm from. 
  • We don't need to bash someone for expressing there feelings or opinion. Whether you like the way she used the word or not. I'm not offended and I have a mentally/ physically handicapped uncle. Society is way to sensitive nowadays
  • Retarded does also mean stupid or foolish so people get over it.

    I'm sorry for the word, English is not my first language and I've learned English from books and movies (also school and traveling, but mostly by myself) and I don't speak it other than written here actually, so I had NO IDEA that it was politically incorrect. I'm truly sorry if I offended anyone, I will not use it again.

    That is great, thank you! It is hard when you're working with an unfamiliar language, thank you for being so considerate :)
