Jennifer Aniston under fire for using the word 'retard’ - Polidicks

Whats hilarious is, I doubt the people who should actually be offended by the misuse of the word "retard" wouldn't care, unless it's being thrown at them specifically.

Remember that woman with the radio show who used the N-word? (Her name escapes me right now.) She took a lot of flak for that, and Sarah Palin defended her and her freedom of speech. Yet when Rahm Emanuel said the ideas of some liberals were "fucking retarded", Sarah Palin started bitching. Hypocrisy all around.

wow she said retard. she should be sentenced to death obv!!!

[QUOTE=Eluveitie;24797978]So many people say retard but don't mean to insult disabled people. It's almost synonymous with stupid now.[/QUOTE] This, plus, I heard they don't even like to be called retarded in the first place.

Oh fuck, i hate how people, especially the media get all anal and tend to (over)react to anything. it was spur of the moment or maybe it just slipped out...

Do retards care that we use the word retard out of their context? Didn't think so.

I'll stop using the word when the retards, not the people taking care of the retards, say that they find the word offensive.

I hate word police I read an article recently by some feminist whining about the use of the word rape in other contexts

[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;24801172]Whats hilarious is, I doubt the people who should actually be offended by the misuse of the word "retard" wouldn't care, unless it's being thrown at them specifically.[/QUOTE] Yeah seriously, I doubt actual "retarded" people don't give a shit.

[QUOTE=CivilProtection;24799238]so if a celebrity says "gay" does that mean that the person is forced to publicly apologise to the gay community? NO ONE GIVES A SHIT[/QUOTE] i give a shit :saddowns:

These idiots just when Full Retard

wait how would mentally disabled people be offended by a word they dont understand?

[QUOTE=AlienFanatic;24807337]wait how would mentally disabled people be offended by a word they dont understand?[/QUOTE] I dunno, I have friends with high-functioning autism and Aspergers that get pretty pissed. Not everyone with a mental disability is a drooling retard that can't tie their own shoes

[QUOTE=starpluck;24800852]Where was all the bitching when Geert Wilders kept saying "The Islamic culture is retarded."?[/QUOTE] It's ok to say retard if you're retarded yourself.

[QUOTE=Triumph Forks;24808680]I dunno, I have friends with high-functioning autism and Aspergers that get pretty pissed. Not everyone with a mental disability is a drooling retard that can't tie their own shoes[/QUOTE] oh not hi-functionals/aspies like downs and others

[QUOTE=Dr. Fishtastic;24806905]This idiots just when Full Retard[/QUOTE] Wut? [QUOTE=Triumph Forks;24808680]I dunno, I have friends with high-functioning autism and Aspergers that get pretty pissed.[/QUOTE] I have Asperger's and I find it funny and not offensive at all.

Stop the planet, I want to get off.

[QUOTE=AlienFanatic;24809888]oh not hi-functionals/aspies like downs and others[/QUOTE] Still not cool to use the term to describe someone as inferior [editline]01:23AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Onyx3173;24810078]Wut? I have Asperger's and I find it funny and not offensive at all.[/QUOTE] I like men and don't mind "faggot" or "gay". and a friend of mine didn't care when I was absentmindedly doing mad libs and put "nigger" as a noun and he saw. Doesn't mean black or LGBT people as a whole don't find those terms offensive

[quote]“Yes, I play dress up! I do it for a living, like a retard!” [/quote] That's just a stupid thing to say. She's a fucking actress so it makes her retarded? I don't get it.

This is so funny its retarded. Retarded, whether we like it or not, is part of our vernacular now. The fact the people would become so offended because a word is incredibly funny to me. If it's used to offend an individual, then it's awful, but if someone just calls something 'retarded', then I don't see the big fucking deal.

Disability people do have abilities you know. Fuck, there is a Australian guy with no arms, and still would kick your ass. He even went to a school motivating kids on how he can live without arms, and made little kids cry. :gonk: He really got to them. Scarred for life. :saddowns:

she never wears a bra and always has stiff nipples

Aniston: "... like a retard!" Politically Correct: :black101:

If you're in the media spot light, anything you say magically offends fucking everyone. Just more bullshit that's completely absurd. I'm surprised PETA hasn't forced the food network off the air.

[QUOTE=SteelReal;24851826]So abusing women is smart?[/QUOTE] Uh yeah, nice avatar.

[QUOTE=SlayerFin;24798615]I read "Jennifer Aniston on fire."[/QUOTE]

She was using the word correctly. Retards are in denial.
