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.

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

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.

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!

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* · 06-04-2003, 10:56 PM

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

Loolaa · 06-05-2003, 12:27 AM

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.

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....

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...

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* · 06-05-2003, 05:43 AM

thank you, pep_z. i appreciate the compromise.

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...

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.

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.

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

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 06-05-2003, 01:41 PM

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 · 06-05-2003, 02:07 PM

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.
