I've got a sense of humor - I like the word "retard" and use it on a regular basis. Yes in some environments it may be in poor taste to use the word. So that's when I don't.

QuoteI probably won't see the movie, but if anyone does, please let me know if they make fun of amputees, because I need some new material.
Okay, I've now seen the movie. They actually do make fun of amputees.
Hands, not legs, but still ... a double-amputee is at the center of one of the movie's running jokes. And as for the use of retard ... there is NO other word they could have used. Well, I take that back. I think they ALSO used all the other formerly "correct" words, too, including moron, and idiot. But retard/retarded are used repeatedly, and to perfect comic effect; it would not have worked any other way and it's spot-on satire.

QuoteI have a relative who is moderately autistic, but functional, albeit in a very narrow range: raw intellect. His demeanor and manner of speech is rather odd, and strangers sometimes think he's "retarded". In fact, he's brilliant, does highly complex mathematics in his head, and has a BS and an MBA from good universities. Like the protagonist in Rain Man, he's probably what used to be called an "idiot savant", but that term is now considered arcane and insulting. I believe the popular term for it today is "autistic savant".
Actually Andy, the wife's also got two nephews with Asburger's syndrome, a form of autism. The younger one is still in school. the older one is in his twenties and while living at home, holds down a regular job. He's really DEEPLY involved in Anime and has become a regualr fixture at the annual Anime Festival in LA, where he proudly appears in his red Power Rangers costume every year. He's definitely not retarded, but is pretty much a big kid in most ways.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

Don't we use parachutes for retardation? 
I guess I've got a sense of humour, even though I am diagnosed with a form of autism.
The term in itself is neutral, but it's raped if a majority of people use it as something negative. That's one reason I wouldn't sling it at people, I dislike group mentallity, and the negative use of the word 'retard' suggests that there is a group who feel they are mentally and/or psychically superior.
Still, I don't mind if people call me a retard, they may think of me what they like.

The results of your quiz indicate that you are 69% retarded!
You are often found to be idiotic and more than a little weird. People are friendly towards you either because they think you're a good person to make fun of, or because they feel bad for you. You're a clutz and often hurt yourself by accident. ![[:/]](/uploads/emoticons/dry.png "[:/]"){kind=small}
edit to add: it's more of a skydiver type quiz. Who ISN'T distracted by shiny things and who HASN'T tripped on the air....
