They are trying to include "retard" in hate speech. People have too much time.
that is the most retarded thing I have ever heard

when I use the word retarded it is because some person, or stupid situation really calls for it. Honestly, we all have those moments sometimes. I have never in my life called a special needs person retarded, nor world I. It is a word reserved for the actions, situations or comments of people who actually don't have a legitimate excuse to act as if their brain didn't grow successfully during the gestation period...LOL.
