Strange, because when I see the words derp and durr, I dont even see "mentally challenged". Alot of mentally challenged people are actually alot more intelligent than you think. It actually has NOTHING to do with it.

Think you need to relax a bit. Alot of us do it in a friendly manner to our online friends and than theres asshats.

Then you don't know where those terms originated. And I KNOW that they're more intelligent than people think. That's part of my POINT. But my main point is that these terms originated in reference to making fun of those with mental disabilities and should not be used.

Oh come on, it's not like that was named to those people.
An insult is only an insult when taken as such so unless you are on those people (and i am sorry if you are) you really shouldn't speak for them.

Except that an insult can be used to perpetuate stereotypes and other things harmful to a population. And yes, I have a right to speak for those with mental disabilities. Or at least the right as you define it. Though I think that everyone has the "right" to speak up against harmful acts against populations. And yes, making fun of the disabled by using these terms is harmful.

Source of this information, because im curious..

It came from the movie Basketball. I do not know where you get making fun of mentally challenged people. While I do not care for the word. Lets just leave it at that.
