Is 'mong' an offensive word?

[Gandalf]

Btw those who are offended must hate this skit Gervais did donkeys years ago, called 'Derek'

Nothing offensive in that at all.

I think with comedy ANYTHING goes. It's just wrong to get upset by anyone saying a word like 'retard', 'mong', spastic' etc. Sure they are words with horrible connotations, but they are words that exist nonetheless. I find it ridiculous that we can watch people having sex quite freely and yet we are supposed to censor lexical items. If anything an actual fanny should be more censored than an expression like 'arse bandit'.

I just don't like the way uptight people try to restrict so called naughty or out of bounds words. Just let people say what they like without putting restrictions upon them. Sure if someone says something racist then you can call them a racist, but allow people to use those words if they so desire. Don't force people to tow the PC line.

What is the term for someone who insults the handicapped anyway? We have homophobe and we have racist, but what is someone who is mean about people in wheelchairs? I have no idea.

Bigot.

Yes, bigot is always a good all round term.

People need to get over words in general, being offended by them just gives power to whoever decides to use them.

BINGO!!!!! My family taught me this. If someone were to call me a racial slur I wouldn't allow myself to get upset because that is their intention.

Yes and when people know that button is there to be pushed and they'll always get a reaction from it then they will always use it.

Agreed I would either ignore, smile or laugh if someone said anything racist. They are the one that would look stupid.
