I posted this on someones wall today and thought I should have the courage to post it on my own... so here it is: I wish people would quit using "retarded" or "retard" as a catchy vernacular. When I hear it, the hair absolutely stands up on my neck. Does anyone know how degrading that term is to the millions of special people in the world who have a tough enough time already? Would you use the N word? One day I heard a sales clerk yell at her boss "I know! I am NOT a RETARD!". I came unglued and voiced my opinion to her and then called the corporate HQ. I will NEVER shop there or at any of the stores in their chain until I get a written apology and confirmation of what was done to reprimand her. (That is never going to happen... so????)
