Re: I am asking you to consider not seeing TropicThunder
To "retard growth" is an acceptable term. To call another human a retard is not. That a movie made today would use such term in anything but a historical sense (think Forrest Gump being called retarded because of the era in which he grew up) is inexcusable.
And people wonder why I'm so pro-politically correct speech. There is a reason that it is important to watch our words. Fortunately, many terms of our youth are no longer acceptable and even more are now downright offensive.
Thanks for the head's up!
