Was it your idea the retard is a bad word?
Otherwise it's not an original thought either
Very funny, I bet that argument works for other slurs too.
It's not a nice word but it doesn't rise to the slur tier
That raises an interesting question of what point does an unkind word toward a group of people become a slur?
