...a surprise from a retard

I just don’t like it when some people cuss like they know everything. As if they have the solution to every problem mankind has been trying to solve.

Just this morning, I was explaining a situation when a retard on the other line just cusses like a bogan. He didn’t even know the whole picture and started firing his mouth as if I did wrong. I was caught unguarded and tried to maintain my cool.

The thing is, the situation was my boss’ plan and I was just implementing it. It’s like him, firing his mouth on my boss’ face. But when it was time to get down to his level, I retreated back as it would take me light years to counter his mouth.

I should say, most of the people I’ve met in my workplace are outspoken and are never afraid to express what they really feel. They are opinionated and oozing with so much emotion to the point of hurting anybody on their way. They become tactless and just shoot like they own the world. And after they’ve said their piece, they would then rationalize everything as “respect-my-opinion-as-I-respect-yours”.

How in the blue hell did they arrive to that thing? It’s not about respecting opinion, its about them, getting their ego stroked.

excuse me but what does this have to do with using the word retard? to me that is just as offensive as someone who calls you up and curses you out.
using the word retard as slang is just wrong. It's demeaning to people with special needs, people who are just doing the best they can. Hope you can say the same thing about yourself.
Shocking as this might be, people who are mentally retarded having feelings. They understand what you are saying when you call some a retard. YES!!! They can even read.
I just don't get what makes you better than them, why you think it's okay to put people down by using such an ugly word.

Well, you can have that argument but the word "retard" shouldn't be just exclusive to the same set of people you've been trying to define, in which, you find it offensive. I can’t blame you for that as its common to have it coined with “mental”; just as I find it weird when my music teacher asks us to “retard” the tempo; the tool maker at my uncle’s workshop find the machine “retarded” or the traffic report describing the traffic “retarding”.

And what other word can you define someone slow or socially inept? Other than that, all of them are still ugly or even worse.
