I OBJECT!!!

Hubird, are you making those smilies?

No offense, but jokes involving 'special' children generally aren't considered funny.

Zer,

If you don't like this thread, why are your reading it? Is someone standing behind you with a gun forcing you to read it? You are the one who is looking stupid.

It's not that I don't 'get' the humour Stardust, it's just that I think jokes which in any way involve special children are just totally inappropriate on an internet forum such as this.

Good point.

Aren't the real inbreds the gun lovers? j/k.

what's the difference between the words and the picture? if one's odious so is the other. so much for pc...

of course it's true, it is retarded(the offensive word) to argue on the internet, but then again, better to argue talk and discuss the issue than to stick your head in the sand. that picture is another subtle device to keep people from talking and thinking.

What is it with all the pussies who are upset by people arguing?

Yeah, maybe if you don't have handicap children you don't see the point. Other people here might be 'blessed' with such children.

geez, shroomz, you misunderstand me sooo much. do i seem that terrible?

what i was saying was that it was weak to say that you didn't see how offensive the post was because you didn't see the picture. i said calling people "retarded" was just as offensive as posting pictures of such people with the intent of calling people retarded. i said, either way it's an offensive post(which is what zer lives for ).

actually, i DO understand. i don't have a "developementaly disabled" child but my stepson is quite mentally disabled, still(he's very schizophrenic). really, though, you or anyone else shouldn't take the joke so personally, just because it's not. it's just lame.

you can't deny though, "special" people do make funny faces and say and do funny things sometimes....

Sorry if I seemed off hand Gary. My mother devoted almost 40 years of her life to teaching 'special' kids & I respect her for that emmensely.

I don't see that posting a joke picture involving a downsindrum kid is funny never mind allowable.

The post he made was in bad taste and a stupid comment besides.

Well Im sorry everyone... but I gotta say ....


Zer made a funny .... and I laughed


seriously lighten up .... comedy is beyond offense


nothing should be sacrosanct when it comes to humour.

The picture is not funny but arrogant.

HIS comments were stupid?

I'm bored.

Hey, look Clinton won Pennsylvania! Oh GAWD help us.

I was talking about Zer.

I was for Obama but he keeps making statements such as:

He admires Ronald Reagan
He prays to Jesus every night
He will consult with George Herbert Walker Bush if elected
He said "a woman should consult with her pastor before having an abortion"
He wants to keep the Office of Faith Based Giving:

I thought Hillary Clinton just gave a great speech. I liked it when she said she wants to end the war on science.

A speech means nothing. These are trained public speakers.
