WE CAN STOP WITH THE ******** NOW

why is this word such a problem while idiot or moron are not? I thought they all mean a mental condition

I just admire every bit of her PR crises management.
She do it fast and precise.

I never realized that, but you're right Now let's see how many faves have used that word

I'm so glad she apologized. I knew she would though.

Good Lord... people are making so much controversy around Gaga lately.

Just means better album sales.

Now let's let it go please.

I personally couldn't care less but she did make herself look a bit hypocritical. So it was good of her to address it.

cuz retarded comes from "mental retardation"

I think idiot or moron are adjectives to describe someone deserving it because of his actions or speeches, when "retarded" would be someone having a mental disorder. So, it's not exactly at the same level.

It's like saying "That's gay" using it in a bad way. But now, you're using "Retarded" in a bad way.

But, it wasn't such a big deal to me, but I'm glad she apologized. Humans do mistakes

What comment?

How is she contradicting herself by apologizing?

I love her so much.

I don't even get why she apologized, the word ITSELF isn't offensive, retard = slow and not necessarily mentally ill. That's like her saying the word "jackass" and then apologize to PETA.

Hustling, hustling; every day she's hustling.

Good... now everyone can let it go.

I'm not surprised posting in BTW thread all day.

Any how the word retard is offensive & derogatory that's why your not suppose to say it.
