It's terrible. I also don't like people using the word "retarded" for that same reason. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-c-mc...

At best it's careless and inaccurate.

i guess. i personally am not offended as i have no reason to be, but i can see why others would be. that being said, people should still be able to say it. being rude is still freedom of speech

When I was a kid we always called each other gay and retarded. No one was offended. I miss the 1980s.
