OMG. i totally agree with you! it really pisses me off when peeps make fun of people for being retarded tho. My sis is mentaly retarded, and its frustrating when peeps make fun of her. Im really short, but i'll get into fist fights w/ peeps twice my size over stuff like that lol

if you dont laugh about it, your gonna cry about it. Ive got friends with Disabilties, and we laugh aboutit all the time. IS that wrong?
Because i dont think it is. Your obviously treating your mates with disabilties diffrent, because i dont.

That depends very much on the individual person's attitude. Some will have no problem with people joking about it, and others will get offended or upset.

I treat my friends with disabilities differently? Oh, really? Guess what, I have 10 disabilities.

If I see one more person stereotyping disabled people or acting like its a novelty to have a friend who is disabled, I will simply slam their head into a wall.
