The children are retarded...the difference is people have misused that word to make fun of people out of shear ignorance. Just as Homosexuals have taken the word "gay" and the rainbow and made it something else. Just because Adam is not being Politically Correct, doesn't mean he hates the children. That is their condition and anyone who uses the word "retarded" out of context is the one to be looked down upon. NOT Adam!

Autism children are not retarded, there is a medical difference in all the medical journals between autism and retardation.

Retarded is a generic phrase, like saying, "car". I think people need to pick their battles and I would be in favor of Adam for actually helping those children when others can sit there and only criticise.

It would be more excusable if Adam wasnt working with the kids...he wasnt being ignorant, he knows the correct terms. That said, I think he was just trying to fit in and be funny, even tho it wasnt.
He seems to have a pretty big heart, and Im sure will be really upset how his words have hurt people

I'm sure he will, Christii...I think he will be surprised that it came to this. He is really a very caring person.

Well, when you have an autistic child in your family BBnut, that is a battle I will fight when picking them. I find it offensive as do others touched with autism. I actually find it MORE offensive that he was working with these children and still referred to them that way, that shows ignorance.

See, I don't see it caring enough to help, given his remarks I just see it as a job that paid him money. When you care enough to help, you volunteer to do it w/o getting a dime, then you get the kudos from me. A job he has now been fired from too as not only his employer found it offensive but also Lowe's and Home Depot and pulled their ads from CBS as several ppl were ticked.

Unless Adam just mentioned "retarded" on the Live Feeds, can we move on please or take it to another thread. This is Current Live Feed discussion. Thank you.

Well, a lot wanted Nat out so now the spark is gone.

Adam made a small mistake during 3 months.

Ryan hates entire nationalities

I volunteer in schools and hear that word all the time. Don't like it and try to explain but they use it like guys use the f word.

Would much rather have Adam as a friend than Ryan. You haven't seen the real Ryan.

I'm not into being politically correct...I speak the truth not around it. No sugar coating here...I'm straight up to the point...it's better than lying or trying to make something sound better...that (making something sound better) doesn't help...getting out there and doing something whether you get paid or not is well worth the help and I think they should appreciate the help as there isn't enough of that. I think the whole thing got blown up out of proportion and those kids are going to pay for that...because now they have less help and it is all because of poor wording. Poor children...they don't care about all the bickering they just want a helping hand. They had that with Adam.

Bbnut, I agree. I was almost sick this morning when Adam was contemplating how soon he will be going back to work after BB. I knew his annti-fans were laughing, but his fans were worrying. (I'm not a fan, I dislike the whole final 4)
