"Retard" - really?

 The President and many in parts of the media have begun to use the word retard. I could get all up and angry about this.


I could say how my Aunt was retarded and she was 2000 times the person you are. I could say it is just a fuckwit's way of trying to burn someone else. I could say it is bully-approved. But I don't think anyone who finds it funny would care what I think. 

They think it is amusing to mock people as being born with a life-altering disability. One that brings pain to parents and family. A family that loves that little retard, despite how much vile hatred the word brings.

Calling someone a retard is a lazy way for the mind of a 9-year-old to make fun of other people. I get it, you think these people deserve to be ridiculed and laughed at because they are, or are like those who are, mentally disabled from birth.

It's hilarious.
