[PWDESAI]

LMAO thanks for the pic pep, I wanted to see it, for some reason they deleted the thread I asked for it in.

[Peanut]

Is it supposed to be funny?

[JameO]

Is it supposed to be funny?

Why make fun of those people? They have problems and they should deal with them. You shouldn't make fun of them. Maybe put yourself in their shoes and see how you might feel about those pictures.

[Reznorite420]

Fah, that kind of pic is made by those elitist computer geeks who think they're better than everyone else just because they've been making computer programs since they were in Kindergarten. (http://www.doomworld.com/vb)

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

That was hilarious!!

And, BTW that wasn't making fun of the mentally handicapped. It was making fun of people who argue on the internet! Lighten up!!

[JameO]

That was hilarious!!

And, BTW that wasn't making fun of the mentally handicapped. It was making fun of people who argue on the internet! Lighten up!!

It actually does refer to them being retarded.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Which is what makes it a pun. Retarded can mean mentally handicapped or, lame, arrogant, or stupid. This comparison of the mentally handicapped contestants in the special olympics to the lame, arrogant, stupid people who argue on the internet is obviously aimed at the arguing net-nerds.

[heretic888]

No, its not!! Now argue with me now!!! I thrive on adversity!! MWHAHAHA!!!!

[Friction X]

LoL! Are you arguing about a picture that clearly says arguing online makes you a retard? Oh, sweet irony.

[heretic888]

No, I am not arguing. And anyone who says otherwise is dead wrong!!

[JameO]

Yes it is aimed towards the net arguing I know that but still says that they are retarded. And making fun of them is no good. Why compare them to arguing over the internet?

[heretic888]

Ah, fer Buddha's sake, lighten up. :roll:

[The Defibrillator]

yeah, i posted that pic on another thread and a mod took it out

[JameO]

Ah, fer Buddha's sake, lighten up. :roll:

I know I know. Just saying people shouldn't make fun of them because of their disabilities.

[Edit: Just never mind. Just leave it at that. If you want to make fun of them go ahead.]

[Raven]

this reminds me of of about 2 weeks ago 2 teachers called me retarded and evil

now were would they get that idea?

I agree Raph. Although I like the message displayed on the picture. I'm ashamed ot admit I've been in countless arguements over the internet, mostly over some stupid video game.

[cqb101]

Because you don't seem to know the english language.

[Oxnard Hamster]

Major Pain, are you serious about that? Did 2 teachers really say that? If so, then they have no business teaching if they call their students retards.
You could probably sue them for a huge amount of money. Now I'm one against frivilous lawsuits, but as a prospective teacher myself, I think we need teachers who won't belittle their students like that. Comments like that are just uncalled for and if they are going to act like that, then they need to find a different job.

[The Stryker]

a teacher whacked with a textbook once just she was having a bad day.....that explains my actions



ooooooooooh shiny

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Ah, fer Buddha's sake, lighten up. :roll:

I know I know. Just saying people shouldn't make fun of them because of their disabilities.

[Edit: Just never mind. Just leave it at that. If you want to make fun of them go ahead.]What I'm trying so freaking hard to tell you is that we are NOT making fun of the mentally handicapped. We're making fun of people who argue on the internet! Which, right now, is US!
I WE TODD DID!

BTW Stryker Teachers aren't legally allowed to hit you. I'd have blown the whistle there!

[kyabetsu]

yeah, i posted that pic on another thread and a mod took it out

hobbit's gotta point. there was a smack down of this before. Senses of humor aside, i can see where this may hit a little too close to home for some people. The "comparison to net-nerds" maybe what some people are focusing on, but the fact that the imediate reaction to it was:
:lol: Look at that kid

i think THAT's proof enough that some people can find it offensive. and for their sakes, i'd hope that you'd being willing to censor it yourself, pep_z.

we know it was meant in fun, but please take it down.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

During an entire year of High School I lived in one town and attended school in another. My pal Wheels and I had to ride on the bus the had two mentally handicapped guys on it. Bill and Rosco. Rosco was pretty far gone but Bill was as sharp as anyone. Although he needed a special keyboard to communicate.

People frequently stared at us so Wheels came up with a cool idea. We put together a sign (Neon Green text on black background) that said "Haven't You Ever Seen A Tard-Cart Before?". Bill who knew excactly what "Tard-Cart" meant aproved! Although the driver made us take it down after one day.

Now, If Bill had no problem with "Tard-Cart" (we'd NEVER insult bill) why should anyone have a problem with that sign?

[Stone Ill]

It's just a picture. If ya don't like it, don't look at it. Taking it down won't do ****.

[Loolaa]

My little brother has a "learning disability". Which is a slightly nicer way of saying retarded or mentally handicapped.
If anyone used those words regarding him I'd kick their head in.

I'm not asking you to take the picture down, far from it. It's a free country.
I'm just asking that you think about some peoples feelings before you put stuff like that up.
Thanks for listening. :D

[Leo656]

Ahem.

The Official nWo Tech Mascot (tm) has no problem with the picture.

Cuz see, they might be "differently abled", but they'll also get all kinds of assistance that so-called "normal" people don't get. Like if I went to work, screamed gibberish at paying customers, took a leak in my pants and threatened them with a mop, I'd be fired immediately, while one of the "special people" would maybe be gently reprimanded and then told to go bag groceries. So in the long run it all works out for most of 'em.

Hmm, that gives me an idea. Think if I pretended to be handicapped, it would prevent me from ever getting fired? I seriously need to look into this....

[Pepzi]

Sorry, I didn't mean any offence by it I just added it because someone wanted to see the picture I was unsure of who and what topic.... But I'll take it down now... I don't agree with making fun at meantally hanndicap people, my cousin is menatally handicap, and I try hard to make sure she lives a full life...

[GK Punk]

I have two learning disabilities, it dosn't mean I have a mental retardation though. THat kind of offends me more than anything in this thread.
The kid looks like my step brother, Mike. Mike is severely retarded It's something I've gone through my whole life with. Does that image offend me because of mike? No.

[kyabetsu]

thank you, pep_z. i appreciate the compromise. :)

[JameO]

Yeah that is true but more than likely if they had it that bad they wouldn't be working in a store....they would be in a school with all of them the same and be around their own kind...

[Pepzi]

welcome sorry if i have cause trouble

well one of the teachers that saiid to be is a ex stripper but I only heard she was from 10th graders in my school but I dont know how true that is
I kinda had it comming though because ive done alot of stuff in that class like in science I yelled out masterbation!!!!!!!!!! ya I got kicked out for the day.......I cant start to tell ya what I did in english :roll:
any ways I know they were just joking

[CookSux]

Why do I have a feeling that this post will be deleted? BTW That pic is old... and usually people just put it up when there really is an online argument.

[Loolaa]

I have two learning disabilities, it dosn't mean I have a mental retardation though. THat kind of offends me more than anything in this thread.

Well I'm sorry I offended you. Perhaps it's different in the States. Over here everything from dyslexia to severe and profound learning disabilities is classed under the same label. Just the one phrase: learning disabilities for every condition.

The kid looks like my step brother, Mike. Mike is severely retarded It's something I've gone through my whole life with. Does that image offend me because of mike? No.

It wasn't the image it's that upset me. It was the people here laughing at the kid.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

For the last f**king time We were laughing at people who argue on the internet!!! Not the kid!!!!(well matt was laughing at the kid, but you can't judge as all by him)

[Peanut]

What it does is demean what they do in the special olympics. Can't you see that? It clearly states that wether you win or lose you're still retarded which is obviously supposed to make the people fighting look stupid. I think that's why people get worked up over it. They see that kid trying his hardest and winning a race (or something) and they say "well it makes little difference cause he's still retarded." you have to look at it from many different views. Either way I still think the picture is terrible and not in the least bit funny.

[Raven]

man some people need to lighten up a little 8)

or you'll never make it past 20

[TheShredder]

I'll have to agree with major pain. People need to lighten up.

[That Matt Guy]

this reminds me of of about 2 weeks ago 2 teachers called me retarded and evil

now were would they get that idea?

Because you don't seem to know the english language.

:lol:

[JameO]

You seem to say that we all need to lighten up becuase we think that the picture is horrible? Well I know I was being a little bit crazy but still the fact is that it is making fun of those people in the Special Olympics.

[That Matt Guy]

I only think it's funny because of that goofy look on that kid's face, even though he probably can't help it.

[Raven]

ya this topic is just stupid now come on people were fighting over a picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!

come on a picture

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

You seem to say that we all need to lighten up becuase we think that the picture is horrible? Well I know I was being a little bit crazy but still the fact is that it is making fun of those people in the Special Olympics.No that's not the fact that's your view on it, our view is different. It is a JOKE! And, not a joke about the special olympics, they are mentioned but NOT the butt of the joke! The butt of the joke is those that argue on the net, which right now is all of US!

We're NOT making fun of the mentally disabled, we're making fun of ourselves!

Bill understood the importance of humor. Why can't you?

[PWDESAI]

I'm don't have anything against mentally handicapped or so forth, but seriously, doesn't that kid look funny. I mean it's a guilty pleasure, with no offense to anyone really, just the irony of the saying and the picture.

[Tetsu Deinonychus]

Matt, PWDESAI, You're not helping!

The picture is NOT what's funny! It's the saying! As long as you got the joke!

Besides, I've seen normal children that are ALOT goofier looking than that poor mentally disabled kid.

[PWDESAI]

same here, but i'm still laughing at the kid, I don't care what other people think about me laughing at the kid, because I have the right to. If someone wants to laugh at me for something, let them feel free, I really don't care.

[TheShredder]

Yeah It's just a special message from JRR's shut the f**k up foundation.

[HorseTechie]

*clears throat*

Dammit.. I locked up and deleted an old thread with this friggin picture a couple months ago. Don't you eeeediot's get the message it's really pathethic you have to make a PUBLIC THREAD out of it here?

And don't be telling me I need "to grow up"or "lighten up"or "get a sense of humor". I for one, do know the differnce between good slapstick versus just being plain mean.

Cause my brother is mental, a good number of my best friends are mental, and I know from what they express, they REALLY hate it when people make fun of them.

Lighten up, my hoof. Ever hear of learning a bit of respect? :evil: *mutters under breath and reports this to Krang*
