We were in the family room the other day. The 13 year old turns on Cartoon Network. The 19 year old decides to bug her and asks why she's watching such a retarded cartoon (it was, btw). The 13 year old tells her to stop using bad words. Bad words? Retarded is a bad word? I told the 13 year old it wasn't a bad word, it was a descriptive word and it was accurate in this case. wth does this 'bad word' crap come from??.......
The point of political correctness is to be polite, and not offend the feelings of others. It really is an etiquette thing. Using words like "retard," keeps them in the common usage vocabulary. I wonder what your reaction to the word "retard" would be if your 13 year old was a Down Syndrome baby? This is a concept I would like to shove up your ass with a hot poker.
