Throughout our generation we have heard several different types of words that mean certain things. People take the words we say in different ways. People who we are close with won't take it as seriously as a person who you barley know would. When someone uses the word "retarded" they are calling that person stupid or they did something that was just really not called for. Without even knowing how the person will take it they call them names. I don't really use the word "retarded" because i know how much it hurts to be called names that are rude or mean. The word retarded can be acceptable at some points because you don't always mean for it to mean what it means. Banning the word wouldn't really stop people from saying it because its just a habit of them saying it to people. I feel that if you know the word bothers the person then you shouldn't say it around them. But if you are with your friends or someone that you know it won't bother than it shouldn't really be a big problem for them if you said it. You really just need to think before you speak because something that seems fine to you may not be okay with another person.
