I could not agree anymore as to the displeasure of this word. The story was very touching and I think it was nice to see how the person initially responded to that Facebook thread. The part that hurts me the most about the usage of this word is that most people don't even realize that it is a medical disorder. We grow up in a society today where it is deemed as okay to just throw around a word that relates to a medical condition. I won't lie, I grew up saying this word when I was younger, but last year I found out that I am epileptic. Trust me, it is not fun to be referred to as the kid who had a couple seizures. I just don't understand how people can throw this word around as if it was just a part of their everyday lingo.

Some people don't understand how this word can really hurt somebody and offend them at the same time. If people would realize this, maybe people would understand it better If they were actually to read a article like this. It's not a very nice word to say because it hurts that person. I just don't get how people can use that word it makes you seem ignorant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797251831380804470.post-2289314919413141072013-03-27T20:09:31.928-05:002013-03-27T20:09:31.928-05:00I remember last year when you gave us this in comp...I remember last year when you gave us this in computers class. I think a lot of people who use the "r" word don't really understand how offensive it is. Because I think if more people took the time to read articles like this there would be fewer people using the word. I think its terrible. It's used as an insult and its terrible that they use it because its like comparing things to a a group of people. In a very negative way.

I use to use the "r" word but since the day my friend was in the accident i haven't used it it might slip but its not on purpose.The "r" word needs to be taken out of the English language or all people need to learn how to use it and know the meaning behind it Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797251831380804470.post-71171288048757401172013-03-27T13:59:45.030-05:002013-03-27T13:59:45.030-05:00This is really touching. it really shows why you s...This is really touching. it really shows why you shouldn't call people retards whether you are joking or not.
