Have you ever made fun of mentally retarded?

[Soul]

Title says all.

I can admit to it, but I have really stoppped a lot.

[HinataCuddle]

Nope :)

Actually, I've never made fun of anyone. I'm no saint, but I've never done that in particular.

[shikamaru]

actually theres a boy in the LRC class at my school i used to see him everyday. he would alwaus be alone so i went up to him asked him his name.
his name is zach if you were wondering. and he asked me my name. everyday he waits outside for me after my math class and shakes my hand and says "hi mandee".
we have been friends now since school started. :]
and what made me happiest is when his teacher came up to me after he said hi and told me how he has problems remembering people and their names. and thinks it's cool he can remember my name. he siad it took him awhile to remember his name (the teachers).
:]
i pick him a yellow flower everyday and walk with him to his next class.
i guess you can say i'm his best friend.
:]
i think it's sweet.

[Tsukiko]

yes...=o

=[

[HinataCuddle]

I swear I'm moved. I'm not joking or sarcastic. That's very sweet of you.

yea! thats totally beautifull!! so not kidding!! ur realli nice :D
and umm...i dont think i realli hav made fun of a mentally retarded person, even when i was a kid i was never realli around people like that so by the time i was in middle scool i was mature enough not to make fun of them bcuz part of the building i went to scool in was dedicated to mentally retarded kids, and we usually hung out with them alot so we were all pretti cool xD

[HinataCuddle]

Lol Shikamaru-chan, you managed to move both me and JJ, and that's not easy to manage! :D

[JackpottJinchuuriki]

^^yea and its not easii 2 get hinatacuddle-kun 2 watch yuri!!!
but back 2 the topic, yea, i havent. xD

[Deadlocked]

Actually, quite the opposite. I'm always friends with the kid nobody likes, and the ones that have some sort of retardation.

IT makes me unpopular to everyone else, but I'd rather make a few kids feel special then have all the jerks as friends.

[HinataCuddle]

Lol it just surprises me to see but the amout of cool people this forum is populated by.
That's very mature thinking, Deadlocked. :) :)

[KaitouSai100]

Yep. I'd usually try to justify this, but I don't think I can. xD

[shikamaru]

Lol Shikamaru-chan, you managed to move both me and JJ, and that's not easy to manage! :D


well that's good.
i just thought it would be nice to try to help someone.
espacially someone who never gets the real respect they deserve.
honestly these kids are great.
zach always makes my day
:]

[Summer.]

I think I did once. when I was stupid child (I was REALLY young and didn't even know what was wrong with that girl and didn't even understand).
but now... never. no way. :)

[HinataCuddle]

Hmm how about "promoting" this thread to the "Global Central"?

[giannis 3]

nope.

[Mikaya]

No, I never make fun of people, I am not like that^^

[akatsukigirl300]

I can`t remember if I have or not. =/

[Incendiary]

Lol Shikamaru-chan, you managed to move both me and JJ, and that's not easy to manage! :D

Now all that's left is me! :p and...

I thought that that was genuinely sweet of you, Shikamaru (and no sarcasm or anything, even though I do love to use it a lot =]). I think what you did was great and it would definitely make someone's day to have a person like you around them! :]

Now I personally don't think I've ever directly made fun of someone, I might've just thought something that Santa wouldn't nessecerily approve... but that's just devious thinking. :P

[Thomas60]

I don't think I made fun of them.
I used to hang around in the LRC and so I've had a fair few good friends with learning difficulties.

[MissySmithy]

I hate it when people do that. Especially when people go saying "You are such a retard" or something of that sort, even if they are just joking.
My cousin who has learning difficulties and that's not funny for me. They should understand that they're just making things harded for them and they really don't deserve it.

[HinataCuddle]

Hehe Mandee, you seem to have conquered all our hearts here at TN :D :D ;)

[Summer.]

yeah, that was (is) really nice from you^^

the most I did (or still do) were instructions (physics, math...etc.).

[Soul]

why was this thread moved....

[HinataCuddle]

why was this thread moved....

It wasn't moved, it was promoted xD
Dunno, I agree with its being moved, it kinda fits more here :)

[Neji'sEyes]

I havent either!

[Black Star]

I've never made a joke about the mentally retarded, but i have laughed at jokes made by others. I know it's bad, I don't laugh anymore, though, i found that it is wrong.

Well... I guess that can happen. When you're in a group, those kind of things are quite normal... unfortunately.

[NejiTaker]

My friends and I call each other retarded all the time. I guess it's weird that we're willing to make fun of each other when none of us is retarded, while I would never make fun of a retarded person. Unfortunately, I don't think that I'll stop using the word "retarded" anytime soon. It's a bad habit of mine really. Oh well, we can't all be cool like like shikamaru (the forum member). That really was a very touching post.

[shikamaru]

Hehe Mandee, you seem to have conquered all our hearts here at TN :D :D ;)

it seems as though i have.
i'm just glad that someone apprecitates (sp?) it.
kids at school are always trying to put me down because of it
but honestly i think that i have more (sorry for this term) balls then anyone of them because i actually do something i think is right and not to be cool.

[majinsharingan]

lol.
Odd term for you to use.
Lol.
and I agree being cool sucks Dx

[shikamaru]

lol.

well i couldnt think of any other way to out it lol.
yea i'd rather be uncool and nice instead of cool and mean to everyone.
it's not nice

[¤ Shrike † Itachi ¤]

At my school, if you make fun of the mentally retarded, you're a "douchebag."

I don't make fun of them. Too much is on the line.

(Reputation, friends, etc.)

reputation isnt all that important to me just as long as i'm happy with myself

[Summer.]

ditto :)

I'm fine with being myself.
If others don't like me the way I am is that not my problem at all.
and usually the 'coolest' and the most 'respected' groups cosist of pure assholes. and if you want to be in their group you must completely change yourself. I say No Thanks, to that.

[Zato-1]

Well I'm really nice 2 them but I only laugh at them when there not around I know its mean but I can't help it.

[HinataCuddle]

Well it's not really mean... it's more like two-faced...

[shikamaru]

agreed.
never make fun of anyone.
remember what your parents always said.
"treat others how you would like to be treated"

[Shishi Uchiha]

yes mom

[HPturtle]

I don't think I've ever really made fun of smeone whos retated.

[pyledryver90]

not too them, but with friends........ in all reality, i really dont like retarded ppl, and dont look forward to paying taxes to keep them in school for no reason whatsoever other than make them feel "normal" just in case that there is a working mind in thier head somewhere..... downsyndrom is different, they are just a little slower, im just reffering to the severe cases of retardation where they are a vegitables and we pay to have them just piss thier pants in our public schools

[aarthans]

with friends but not really that much.

[UCan'tCMe]

Yes I did I was really sad about it after I did it

[-sage-]

[$$ Sasuke Uchiha $$]

No. I would never do that. If I did I wouldn't have a reason to live anymore if I did.

[HyuugaHanabi]

I never made fun of anyone like that. its really no nice and it hurts me to see that people actually make fun of them. they are actually nice people. its not polite to stare at them either...poor them :(

[jirayassecret]
