No it actually isn't. And if you would lighten up a bit, and not take the internet or yourself so seriously, you would see why it isn't. I actually have a good friend who suffers from Down Syndrome who thinks that particular image is quite funny.
The special olympics means the world to those kids. Have we fallen that low that we need to start ridiculing the retarded?
My, My, My, that image isn't ridiculing the retarded, after all they can't help how they were born. It's ridiculing people who SHOULD know better about their importance and the importance of the internet, and for some reason or another don't.
Hand out prints of that image to the kids and parents at the special olympics and see how funny they think it is. You justify ridiculing a retarded boy because you know somebody with downs syndrome and he's ok with it?
That's quite incorrect, as I already pointed out my reasons for being here.
An assertion that is proven to be invalid on this and many other similar boards.
LOL!!! That's one of the funniest things that I have ever read!!
Do you have anything of substance to contribute at all?
Perhaps you should read back through the thread?
Another assertion that is not substantiated, you're on a roll.
It's substantiated quite well.
Cute little poster. Get it from a family photo album?
No, I took it at a gathering of "internet debaters".
And just what does this contribute aside from ad hom name calling? This is usually the tactic of someone who was unprepared to enter discussion on an issue.
Perhaps it might get folks to realize that the internet is not as serious as they think it is.
If you can't handle the discussion and yes, debate you can always post to the Hobbit Hole, or the Poetry forum.*
You can fool yourself into thinking that internet discussion is a "debate" if you want to. I'll not stand in your way. Buh Bye!!
