How dare you refer to the mentally or physically challenged as handicapped.

The purpose of the Special Olympics is to demonstrate just how much they are not handicapped.

I have never been so offended in my life.

I didn’t even know what the stigma was until I looked up the word “handicap” in the dictionary. This means that I am either incredibly ignorant or you are way too easily offended. You have never been so offended in your life? Truly? I am actually quite envious of your sheltered life as I have heard nouns that would make the Nazis cringe. Most of these are spoken on a daily basis by modern day eugenicists.

I have a severely mentally disabled (not merely challenged) aunt and I pray that you never hear the words that others have used to describe her. You are truly lucky.
