Negro used to mean "black". What's the point. Bah, I'm not going to argue with anyone trying to provoke me.

Beckers, I think that we should tell everyone to do what we did...agree to disagree. Beckers doesn't see anything wrong with the word retarded and I do. But we don't allow that to cloud our feelings towards each other. We come from different situations and our interpretations of certain words reflects that. I'm not gonna ride Beckers a** for using the word if Beckers will try and limit the use. Its as easy as that.

So were "idiot" and "imbecile"

As a matter of fact, they were all medical terms for developmental disabilities.

The thing about "retarded" though, is that a lot "mentally challenged" people and those that work with them use it themselves, and not in a "reclaiming the N-word" kind of way either.
