You know, I kind of wonder how many of the people flipping out that Prince Harry jokingly called his mate "our little Paki friend" regularly call other people a "retard".
I know what you mean. I have a cousin who has down syndrome so I rarely use that word. I hate people that freak out on others for using the word Gay, but use the word Retard. I always wondered what people used to say back in the day to "insult" people.
