That’s exactly what it is, imo.

It’s non PC to go against a feel good child thread.

I’m surprised I haven’t seen one yet. Baby was born on Friday I think and not much media about her.

Bullshit!

I was/am a teacher and also a parent with a kid with an IEP.

Your generalization is bullshit.

I agree. Very depressing. Obviously, I disagree with you on the topic.

No. I usually agree with you on everything but I’m surprised by your post on this topic. And of course, I totally disagree with you :)

Hope all is well with you and the family.

<....”It disappoints me no end to see how many bleeding heart simpletons there are posting here at Free Republic. Life is unfair. You make the best of it and tomorrow is a new day.”....>

And that’s exactly why this nation has no backbone....everything is an issue...and the people today do not know how to stand when the going gets rough.

That kid will have more strength and guts and stamina then the entire class put together when he’s an adult..because he will learn how to overcome “unfairness”....unless his mother holds him back.

And I see someone I respect in just about every other topic someone I disagre with on this one.

I’m far fron heartless Wardaddy. You know that.

This is a school class picture. Someone, mom or someone else thought it necessary to make it a media sensation. I question their agenda.

This isn’t compassion, imo.

I will bet you not one of the hyenas posting ugly about this poor kid is a woman poster

Good grief! Not you, too? You're really falling for this fabricated nonsense instigated by a hand-wringing, over-sensitive mother who looked real hard at a freaking class picture and detected a slight, and then took her righteous indignation to the press?? Whew..

Okay, if you fell for it, fine. But please don't besmirch those posters who simply rolled their eyes over this ludicrous non-story by accusing them of "posting ugly" about the disabled child. I think I read every post on this thread and didn't see a single post that said anything negative about the unfortunate child, and why would there be? None of this embarrassing publicity is his fault. If there is such a post, please direct me to it and I will stand corrected. Thanks.

FRegards,
LH

Speaking of “delusional,” you might want to try reading that post again.

Why do you harbor so much anger toward families and caregivers of disabled children? What harm do you think would come from including this boy in the group of students? And last but not least, why do you treat this like a threat to you personally?

LOL you really are delusional. Have fun with that. I won’t play since I know your tactics of projection. You really should focus on getting a life ;)

Most of us understood how inappropriate it was when Bill Maher called Trig Palin “retarded.” I don’t see how it suddenly becomes acceptable when a FReeper does the same thing.

I know Wardaddy and he isn’t falling for anything.

It’s an emotional thread and topic (one the Mom and media knew would be sensational). Posters are falling for it and some, not wardaddy, are expessing outrage and faux compassion. Others are choosing to attack posters they don’t like, lol, and make issues they themselves have ;) Oh the wonders of the internet.

I don’t recall seeing a post negative about the child, other than those by the PC police who are trying to make an issue where there isn’t one.

BykrBayb, KMA. I ain’t afraid of you and your online bravado. Ban me if you have that power or KMA :)

You mean you have no rational explanation for your behavior? Wait, let me find my surprised face. Nope, can’t find it.

No husband or kids huh? Sorry for you.

I’m not embarrassed about anything. Keep posting. Let everyone see just how delusional you are.

You crack me up. Some old biddy who has no life getting off on trashing posters here. What? Didn’t your supposed sexual harrasssment against Humblegunner, that you and some of your friends targeted, work out for you? Did you find a new target?

??

Agreed.. That phrase for.. what? - - "mentally challenged"? - - people went out of style at least 25 years ago, IIRC.. Did somebody call the kid "retarded"? I missed that.

Thank you.

I’ll take that bet. I think at least one of them is female, and probably even a mother. A very emotional mother, with guilt issues. Sometimes they divulge more than they intend to, without even knowing it.

I still post a little bit, but I don’t have as much time for it as I used to.
