Thats a bit of a silly reason not to watch a movie. Disaster movie is more insulting, just because its so damned bad.

I have learning difficulties and the term "retard" is offensive to me, it may be a silly a reason not to waqtch it but I'm sticking to my guns as this subject is very imorptant to me

One word can ruins someones day, or brighten their lives.

I'm gonna agree with Herschey on this one Sonny.


Well i have learning problems too and i didnt find it offensive, it was just a joke. You said you saw disaster movie yet that makes fun of Amy Winehouse, thus indirectly taking the piss out of drug-addicts or those in re-hab yet you didnt find that offensive, which you should have since its a more of a serious problem and the joke was in bad taste (just like the whole movie).

I just dont see any reason why someone should let a word hurt them or offend them. People need to grow some thicker skins, everyones too uptight and easily offended these days. Its just sticks and stones-remember that, and unless someone directly calls you a name and are in punching distance then dont let it bother you because its pointless to waste your energy on such a stupid, insignificant little thing dont you think?

people with drug addictions more often than not bring them on themselves so personally I think they're fair game to ridicule, laugh at mock etc.....

learning difficulties are not the recipients choice and so if they choose to take offense or get upset about them then that is indeed their choice to opt out of watching a movie that they will probably not enjoy.

and why is it sticks and stones unless they are punchable? ..... thats a pretty puerile arguement that they don't upset you but you'd lash out violently for someone saying something that in the same sentence would not affect you if it was across a distance

Streaky is right about words doing a lot of harm

"Let's go," is a pretty good example of how lives can be affected

The very existence of flamethrowers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
