I don't think that mental retardation goes to that extent, though it can go high. There's nothing bad about retarded people, so anyone who has something against the 'mentally challenged', get this into your puny little minds: retarded people are hard to pick out from the rest of us screw-ups. They can enjoy a play, see a movie, they can read a book, they can play games, they can assemble certain equipment, they can do almost anything an average person can do. One or two things may require assistance, but they're okay really. My second best friend's retarded, he doesn't need help with much. My cousin's retarded, he doesn't need help with much. Please be more understanding.

CLEARLY we're not talking about people like that. We are talking about people who are severely mentally handicapped, who will never be able to live independantly and will likely spend their lives either in pain or desperately lonely.
