I SWIFTLY PENETRATED YOUR MOMS MEAT TACO WHILE AGGRESSIVELY FONDLING THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR DADS HAIRY BALLSACK, THEN RIPPED HIS SAUSAGE OFF AND RAMMED IT INTO YOUR MOMS TAILPIPE. I JIZZED FURIOUSLY, DEEP IN YOUR MOMS MEATY BURGER WHILE THRUSTING A ANSA MUFFLER UP MY GREASY TAILHOLE
Yes retard is fine in some contexts. human being is fine in context. friend of the family is fine in some contexts.

I'm not going to iterate over a register of acceptable and non-acceptable use, it varies for everyone. But they're just words and the language policing going on with the corporate (and much of the non-corporate) internet is obnoxious and a disservice to society.

I'm reminded of the old goatse disclaimer

quote:

The goatse.cx lawyer has informed us that we need a warning! So.. if you find this photograph offensive, please don't look at it. Thank you!

edit: also saying stuff like 'r-word' 'n-word' etc is such a cop out. It's just playing a semantic game of saying the word without actually saying it. You put the word in the readers head the same as if you said it you're just too chicken-poo poo to admit it. If you want to have an adult discussion, just do it without the tiptoeing around.
