So, it's okay to laugh at a mentally competent person when they do something incredibly stupid.....but ohhhh no, let a mentally challenged person do something funny and people wanna get all PC on you.
You are sooo right!! Its ridiculous isn't it - I wonder if the moaners would have laughed if the word retarded had been left out of the original message?? My money is on yes...
Working in a restaraunt and catching someone masterbating is quite funny... or if not funny certainly more than a bit bizarre! Blackie's last paragraph sums it up perfectly for me though... by not laughing at disabled or disadvantaged people in the same way we laugh at everyone else we are singling them out as being different from the rest of society, which is exactly what the PC brigade are so against...
it seems just gross to me. if it hadn't been a mentally disabled person, it would have probably made me wonder if they were mentally disabled. it has nothing to do with being politically correct. it's just mean to laugh at people in general, particularly people who are mentally impaired.
