Re: Are you retarded?
couldnt you use a more politically correct word like mentally handicapped, mentally challenged, even mental retardation sounds much better then the word retarded....it sounds offensive even if you dont mean to sound that way.
Also....there has been a thread (or 2) on cousin marriages and the effects on offsprings...if you are really gathering information on it...then perhaps you can do a search on here for it.
Here is my view....for me personally, I am against marrying any one of my cousins and it's not for medical reasons.
From the information I have gathered in the past.....there is only a slim chance that cousin couples can end of with a mentally handicapped offspring....that same chance is there if you marry out of your family as well.
