The R Word

For those who aren`t aware what this post is about than go through Google on the "R-Word campaign" and also check out the controversies of Sarah Palin and Jenifer Aniston due to this word.

















Now it is obvious that people have a lot of spare time in their lives,why else would there be such a hue and cry for banning the word "retarded" to the extent of calling it "The R-Word" as if it were some kind of Dark lord Voldemort or something.
Context is everything. Obviously if we`re using retards to describe normal people who act stupid once in a while is OK because they aren`t actually retarded.Nobody in their right mind would use the R-Word to describe or insult "one of these people".

Sane people never use the R-Word to insult a person with a mental abnormality and those who do must be punished for sure. However, sane people do use it to insult idiots who clearly have been gifted with everything yet persist behaving stupidly.
