Mental retardation is not the same as learning disorders OR stupidity. I think our OP falls into that last category.Is a retarded person the same as someone with learning difficulties? YES this is a stupid question and NO I dont have a huge penis. :biggrin1:
Some say retarded people have huge penises. Is this true?

Don't know, don't care. I find it extremely disturbing that you care enough to ask. :yikes:Some say retarded people have huge penises. Is this true?

Disgusting to prey on retarded people for any reason, they have to be cared for, and I know of several people who are very good at it. They are too innocent for other people to have sex with, because they don't really understand what is happening. It is a kind of rape to bother retarded people, and is, I'm sure, a crime when discovered (although the law may refer only to age, in which paedophilia could come into play, I don't know.) To see the buses full of these people is always heartbreaking, but at least when you see them that way, they are being somehow taken care of. I've worked temp years ago at a Spanish Harlem Center for retarded adults (the term is apt because not all of these people have Down's Syndrome) and it was just really sad.
Another silly Question The words retarded and retarded are not ones which are commonly used in the UK because they are thought to be offensive and/or degrading possibly due to the words being used as general term of abuse. However the words seem to be in general use in the US. I was wobndering how many of you use these words and do you think they are acceptable?
"intellectually challenged" and "cognitively delayed" are both way out of vogue in psychology circles these days, SR. The "reasoning" behind it is that a challenge is something that can be overcome, and delayed implies that it will happen, just a little later. I can't remember the fashionable term right at the moment.They are much less acceptable than they used to be.
'Intellectually challenged' is the more common term.
