Mother offended by word "Retarded"
I read an article on Yahoo a few minutes ago, about a mother of a child with Down syndrome who "cried" after a Starbucks Barista says "I was retarded" while making a mistake on the mother's order.
In the end, she planned on taking her child to Starbucks with the gift-card from Starbucks after her complaint to show the world about Downs Syndrome...
Good job lady, you accomplished to earn free money by using your daughter as a excuse to make complaints!
Opinions?
Edit: Apologies here's the link to the article

As a guy that has no children with Down's syndrome, I'd say I'm in the perfect position to say what someone should and shouldn't be offended by

5 AntwortenIt is reasonable, also she didn't ask for a gift card, using retarded as a derogatory term is unnecessary and is unprofessional. Someone shouldn't use another's issues and the fact that people who have mental disabilities exist as an insult regardless of who it is directed towards.

1 AntwortenIf she's offended by the word retarded she shouldn't have had a retarded kid. Problem solved.

17 AntwortenI love how everyone rises up against this mother, but they're cool with a couple of Lesbos getting 135,000 from a bakery for being offended.

Bearbeitet von Nobody: 7/19/2015 4:46:54 AMHonestly I would be more offended if someone called me handicapped. While I get that language is dynamic and evolves as time goes on to me the word retard does not mean someone who is disabled it means someone who did/does something stupid. The only reason I try to stay away from using the word retard is because I know that it does offend others and that is not my intent.

That's something she's just gotta learn to deal with. I myself am guilty of letting it slip out now and again.

1 AntwortenEverything I read on Yahoo is absolutely retarded. Especially the comments.

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von Garen Sol: 7/19/2015 3:29:34 AMIt's funny because years ago you could say "I'm a retard" or "don't treat me like a retard" without getting shit from it. There's even an episode in twilight zone that clearly says it. But now everything is over sensitized. Honestly I'm okay with being called anything as long as I know it's a joke.
