every single time I hear that word being used, I literally wanna walk up to the person and slap them. My sister is Austic and I hate that becasue she can't really talk and interact. We've been through so much, her behavior is so bad she can't live with us. I've never lived with her, I miss her, I see her every week. Its sad to think she'll never be normal or celebrate birthdays, or go out to dinner or even have a laugh with my family. I miss her. She is the only person I can believe in. Whenever I hear 'retarded.' i wanna do something about it. But I know I can't its hard, thanks so much for making this quote i love you! reply

I agree 110%. Personally, I think that even though people with Down's Syndrome are slower than most people, they are some of the nicest, sweetest, most loving people you will ever meet in your life. I would like to see the day when "" isn't an insult.

This movie hasn't come out yet, but I've seen interviews with some of the actors... And it seems to me that one of the overall themes of the story is that people who are mentally retarded are no different than the rest of us--they have dreams, and fantasies, and feelings. People seem to forget that sometimes, since people throw around the r-word all the time. reply
