Why is it that people on here get all uppity if someone voices their offense at seeing the word retarded or rape used in a 'joking' way or insulting way? I just don't see why people can't just simply say, "I'm sorry you feel that way, I didn't mean to offend you - I didn't mean it in that way." At least that would be the nice thing to do. I suppose people are too prideful and full of themselves to consider that some people have different opinions and feelings towards things.
