Growing up in the 80s and 90s, retard, fag, gay, etc, were all words that were thrown around without any thought whatsoever to their impact on people. To me, none should be acceptable to throw around in public anymore. I'm not perfect, however. I've been able to eliminate 'fag' from my vocabulary, and severely limit 'gay', but I occasionally use 'retarded'. It's something that I consciously try to not use, but old habits die hard. It's not a word I would choose to use, but sometimes reactions happen faster than thought.
