I don't mind if you had said it.

Well i have a severely disabled son, who is Brain Injured, cannot walk, and can only use one hand....both i and he, would be very offended by the terms mental defective, mentally backward, or spastic. They all kind of imply that the person is somewhat less than "normal" ...assuming there's any such state as normal!...I assume you wouldn't call him a Mental Defective to his face, and if so then you should'nt use the term on here either!
