Only assholes think it’s ok to use retard as an insult.

I completely agree. I did not use it as an insult.

I’ll play your ridiculous game even though I already know the answer. How was it not an insult?

JEDIT: Fuck it, you’re just a troll and you’ve already gotten what you want. Respond however you like, you’re still an asshole, you’ll never stop being an asshole, and I’m not going to respond to any of your subsequent posts on this topic.

Even though Frink usually pisses me off he’s right. My cousin is mentally disabled and I have come to realize that using the word “retard” as an insult can be very offensive to myself and others who have a close family member who is mentally disabled. I hate to see her used as an example to insult others who aren’t mentally disabled. That’s really what makes it hurt… It’s not that they’re directly insulting her but it’s that they’re degrading her to degrade others. It’s just a rude awful way of insulting someone. There’s a vast amount of other ophtions that don’t degrade people like my cousin (dick, jerk, asshole, etc.).
