17	Cris	Byrd			My son has down syndrome and the word retarded when used as a derogatory adjective is offensive to me. I'm waiting for the day my 4yr old hears the word and wants to know what it means. I'll have the user explain it to her. Hopefully she never is around one of the pens.

19	Amy	Patterson	WA	US
20	Debra	Ridgway	IA	US	My daughter can do nothing about her mental disability just like someone can not do something about the color of their skin so why do words like this still continue to make thier way into our language. Please help us to make the "retarded" word go the way the words that describe the color of people's skin. Thanks for your time.
21	Karen	Zrenda			Immediate Attention to this insensitive product!

25	Robin	McCain
26	Anne	Eason	CT	US	It's not nice to make fun of individuals with intellectual disabilities. What were you thinking?
27	Danielle	Evans	VA	US
28	Sherrill	Rechner		CA	Derogatory comments are made too much. It's bad enough that society uses it, but it's even worse that a company would try to profit it from it!
29	Sara	Washicko	CT	US	How truly insensitive!
30	Jan	Huffman	IN		Please remove the phrase "You guys are retarded" from both the pen and the doll or stop distribution, licensing and sales.

36	Mark	Duplin	CT	US	In this day and age, with all the sensitivities given to "political correctness", to think we still have this magnitude of ignorance and prejudice is amazing.
37	Lisa	Martin	IL		Please stop the sale of these products. There is absolutely nothing positive that can come out of encouraging the use of this ugly word.

43	Roger	Peterson	CT	US	Yup, I was one of those kids who used this term when I was you, and STUPID. Let's not teach OUR kids to be just as thoughtless.
44	Donna	Martinez		US	While people with disabilities are not members of any one race, it is still a class of people who remain disenfranchised. The fact that you do not see the issue tells me you do not see the people. YOur attitudes of disregard will no longer be tolerated.
45	Leticia	Sanchez	CA	US
46	Cindy	Casten	VA		I'll forever boycott any stores that are selling this pen!

50	Gustavo	Velazquez	WY	PR	I agree. To carry pencils stating that I am retarded will only make my life harder. To be around people is bad enough as it is. Life is a constant effort for me.
