A curse word? No. Insulting and derogatory? Absolutely.

I cannot stand when my father uses that word to describe everything even slightly out of the ordinary... It's kinda vulgar to me, I guess.

No, although several teachers at our school will reprimand us for saying it.

Depending on how deeply it's used. Like if it's for telling the teacher about your kid's disorder I don't have a problem with it. When people start calling others that I get pretty pissed off about it.

(i know it's your opinion but) I wouldn't even use the word "retard" to describe my autistic child. That's just as bad as someone calling someone else a retard, but that's just my opinion.

It's okay. I'm not offended by that. I can really understand not using the word at all.

Retard is not a cuss word.. It's a word that can really hurt someone's feelings.
Being called retard is very degrading.... |

it's not like the word"stupid", which is just a generic insult. it's not a cuss word, it's a slur. it's like the n-word.

I took a psychology class and they still taught "Mental Retardation" as a mental disorder with that name. I actually had trouble even saying that out loud because of the negative connotation behind so much of it but I guess if used scientifically, I wouldn't consider it a slur. I don't know though... |

It's a medical problem, of course not.
People take it far too out of context. |

I don't. But even though it's the name of a mental disorder, the way people usually use it is insulting. It's mean to the people you are using the word against, and it's mean to the people who actually have that condition. So even though it's not a cuss word, it's best not to use it, in my opinion.

No, I don't really have a problem with people using it either, of course it's not exactly nice to use it to insult someone, but hell, I don't want to censor it either.

Same with gay. What's wrong with gay people? I just see them as an average person, don't make it derogatory. |

Yes.
It's basically the same as calling someone an autustic piece of used toilet paper or an asperger scrub.

Well "gay" actually means "happy" doesn't it, so it's nothing to do with people being attracted to their own sex.
