Same here, I use "retarded" and "tard" but it has nothing to do with actual disabled people. It just means "slow." I wouldn't actually call a guy with Down's Syndrome a tard, but I'll (affectionately) call my little brother a tard when he's acting stupid.
I don't mind "fag" either. Most of the gay people I know refer to themselves and each other as fags. It's sort of like "bitch" - when you co-opt a word for yourself, you take away its power to hurt, and eventually it becomes a neutral or even affectionate term.

Dear Lord, save us from those thy children who speak without thought, and protect them also from the rotten tomatoes they shall thereafter receive in the kisser.
