Thing is i don't call people who are mentally handicapped for retarded, so i don't draw the Connection between the cases.
And it might not be 100% linguistical correct definition wise, but i Think retarded can apply to both people and situations, atleast this is how the Word often is used, and if you would call someone retarded it has nothing to do wether they have CP, downs syndrom or something like that, but because they do stupid stuff(i want to say " stupid ass shit" here but that would be offensive i assume, even though this is how people talk in real life). Why do we have to act like 5 year olds when it comes to written language, and censor everything? People swear irl, thats the way it is, why shouldnt internet reflect that? Ofc there is a line, but most stuff are really innocent.
On a sidenote, I could probably have said gay too, I might have irl (seen the southpark episode about changing the meaning of gay?), but I can see how using that as a negative experience is offensive, but i can't see how a Word used for what it is, is offensive.
