  "using the word retarded as an insult when people say stupid things means you think all retarded people are stupid"
  
  Wow, now who's jumping to conclusions. That's pretty offensive. And I find your inability to register that your statement about others jumping to conclusions was in fact a jump to a conclusion, pretty damn retarded. Or should I say, lacking in mental capability?

  Wow wow wow, lets slow down here.
  
  The question was, 'what do you think of retarded as an insult?'
  
  I replied that retarded was a perfectly good insult, due to the connotations that retard carries with it, I.E. someone who is mentally defiant. I'm not claiming if it's moral, or if I'd do it, I'm simply replying that 'yes' retard as an insult is effective and to the point.
  
  Of course they're offensive terms, that is why they are used to OFFEND! INSULT! DERIDE! Other terms like that which I am pulling from my thesaurus.

  What I'm finding very hilarious is that 'retard' is also French for "late".

  Retard is an insult. That is a fact. If someone thinks differently, I think we all would want to know why.
