Hey I have family members too. Brings up an excellent question. At what point is something offensive? Because it doesn't offend me at all. That being said, if someone called them a retard to hurt them. I'd probably knock their teeth out.

Here's my take. -- I think everyones "psychological make up" is different. Not wrong or right, just different.

Some people take offense. Some don't. So who becomes the arbiter of speech? What can be said and what cannot.

Did you know that homeless people is an offensive term? It's supposed to be unhoused. Same with Blind.

Also it's not committed suicide, it's died by suicide.

None of this is meant to antagonize. It's alllll just stuff I think about.
