...you aren't doing much for this thread, either.
Calling something retarded is offensive to a lot of people that understand how hurtful and offensive it can be to call someone retarded. Using that term the way you are, which means you are saying someone/thing that is retarded is stupid, well, that's just hurtful and ignorant.
So I'd say you just contributed to this thread's devaluing of this site. I'm sure I'll probably get castigated by some for being hypersensitive. Nonetheless, there are plenty of people with enough common sense out there that can express themselves in better ways than to use that description.
Now, if you didn't understand any of this before you saw my response, then don't take offense. Just make it a learning experience. On the other hand, if you already understood this before you posted it, then I don't really give a rip if you're mad at my response.
I'll get off of my soapbox now.
