Someone please enlighten people that "Retards" is mean and disgusting - not to the person whom you address - but to you and the community as general.
"Retard" means you perceive that someone who is mentally challenged (note I did not use the word retarded) as a fault of the person who has falied to receive the gift of nature - a healthy brain. It is mean, disgusting and very demeaning. It displays pride in the suffering and shortcoming of others.
Please bloggers, do not use this word. Farah Khan and Karan Johar - are examples of just that - spolied brats with scant regard for other's acehievements and work accept those who tow their line.
