wait...you cant use the word retard to describe someone who is retarded?
so if we cant use it to describe a "retard" then it should 100% be fair game to use for everything else. Im cool with that. You dont like the word be associated to people so we can finally associate it to other things without whiny fucks like you crying about it.

Why do you call yourselves a conglomerate? Because you're not one. At all.
Do you even know what a conglomerate is?
Here's the definition of a business conglomerate-
A corporation that is made up of a number of different, seemingly unrelated businesses. In a conglomerate, one company owns a controlling stake in a number of smaller companies, which conduct business separately. Each of a conglomerate's subsidiary businesses runs independently of the other business divisions, but the subsidiaries' management reports to senior management at the parent company.

I went to high school with a girl who has a mental disability and just stood up to the world and posted an 8 minute video of how it has impacted her, how she supports the "Spread the word to end the word" campaign (http://www.r-word.org/Default.aspx) and how it hurts her and others when its used, and how people used to call her that to her face. So no, there are other ways to describe disabilities and handicaps without calling them that word, because it's a fucking insult to them and I promise you it's something they never forget.
Do whatever the hell you want around your friends, but understand that it's something that really hurts a lot of incredible disabled individuals, and people who stand up for those people are not "Whiny Fucks".

the round-up retards weed growth. alcohol retards fetus development.
the word retard is used probably once every two weeks during my lectures. im sorry you guys get offended by it but it still holds a practical meaning to some people.

that's all well and good, but it doesn't make sense to me. This isn't like "faggot" where the word was adopted with harmful intent. Mentally retarded is a scientifically accurate description of someone who is developmentally disabled. I understand that its harmful to people and that's why I don't use it. It's a bit ridiculous in my opinion though because it's the victimization of a completely accurate term. It's like campaigning to end the use of the word "gay". When describing a homosexual with no malicious intent....it's acceptable and correct.

I definitely understand that, just please be mindful how you use it and who you use it around

Even if tbk made the best skis in the world at low prices I still wouldn't buy them because your company and you trust fund babies over at tbk are a bunch of cunts

Why are you so set on using this word? Sure, there are scientific reasons to still use it, but otherwise, why are you so committed to being a dick? There are enough assholes in the world, don't be one of them.
Just fucking be nice to people. There are so many other words in the English language that don't belittle groups of people. Find one.
