...you're still retarded.

[sigh]

This graphic has popped up in a couple of threads now and while I'm not one to harp on politically correct themes, I find myself saddened just looking at it. Take your shots at Jews or blacks or lesbians or Indonesians or whichever group you feel a need to be superior to, and if it's funny I'll chuckle along with you, but please don't laugh at the expense of these children.

Yes, when they win, they're still retarded, but these kids do more work every single day BEFORE they go to school than any other kid will manage to accomplish all day long. Living in a world that isn't meant for you is that hard.

And if you've ever been lucky enough to be loved by a special child, you know it's a love given utterly, without restraint or conditions. These kids give it all in every hug.

OK so she's saying that we can laugh at 150 dead Indonesians....but not a retarded kid

yup

makes sense

Did someone fart?

 

[littlekateyes]

Thank you. Most do not know what my son has to go through in one day just to be able to get on the bus for preschool. These children yes, will always have problems, but why make fun of them? Try loving them, and seeing them for who they are, a child. They are angels to me and you.

When anything is said in a disdainful way, I find it offensive. It is still Bigotry. That picture is bigotry.

Small, closed minds.

Retarded- slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress


This is the dictionaries definition of retarded. As I see it then there are many, many people here at Lit, as elsewhere, that are retarded.

How dare anyone look at the special olympic kids and see them as nothing but heros!!!!! I am a special olympic coach and I can tell you from experience, I am so honored to be among such greatness!!!!! How dare anyone that considers themselves "normal" look down upon these children.

I can tell you this, once you have the trust and love of these special PEOPLE you will KNOW what unconditional love is all about.

Look into the mirror tonight if you think these children are less than heros and see who the retarded one really is!!!!!!! Each one of us should be so special as they are!! There would be no wars only love!

Well said. I think that should be the title of this thread.

The people finding humor in this picture are probably the same people who would disown their own kids if they had some type of problem.

 

[SempreAngela]

No, I wont ignore you. I will post here what I just told a friend about you. I am very glad that you posted and posted what you did. This way it will get people to thinking. They will see the pic of the special olympics child and then see your post. They will then know the true meaning of retarded. So let me thank you. Due to your slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress you may have just broken the barrier for many people to really know the special olympics children and will support it more than ever.

You also have a purpose in this world. Perhaps to let people see the extreme spectrums that retardation has. I am sure your parents wonder nightly what your purpose is. I am sure you do too when your synapses actually fire correctly if they fire at all.

Thank you and goodnight to you. Keep up the good work, the special olympics needs support and I think you just assured that they will receive it more than they ever have.

Breaking my silence for a minute....for the record, I am a leftist. Thanks for the compliment. I wish I had one in return.
