Maybe there's a better term. "Retard" implies someone who is slow, or kept back from progress, not through his own efforts, but through a lack of actual capacity. If someone in that condition shakes his fist at God, it doesn't reflect poorly on that person. But if they knowingly shake their fist at God, they are not retarded, but are culpable. They are even beyond the fool who says there is no God.
I never liked the term retarded or the current acceptable version developmentally delayed for people of diminished intellectual capacity because it implies that the person affected will catch up.
When I got my teaching degree 15 years ago one of the courses in the curriculum, third semester was "Teaching The Exceptional Child".
Yeah, but they are still a retard.
Did you come here when granite was a regular? He is a retard.
Never watched anything but short clips of Band of Brothers. Can't get past my dislike of David Schwimmer.
The person he is playing is a dislikable person. By a country mile. He is out of it by the first episode. And he does a great job. The real short story is he charged and innocent man of a minor crime, because the other man was his subordinate officer and superior to him in all ways, including military tactics. And, members of the NCO chain told a senior officer they want to be transferred out because he is so bad about everything. He acts like cops you see on Lackluster. So he did a good job in that regard with the portrayal.
I may give it a shot.
