Could help laugh at a Downs guy today, am I a bad person?
First up here's the background. Me, my wife and my kids ( teenage girls), were out in a restaurant today to celebrate the youngests birthday and we'd had a nice night when both me and my eldest happened to look up towards a group of three men who had sat down a couple of tables away.

As we did we both saw one of the men aged about 23-24 and obviously born with Downs looking over at her, grinning and giving here this kind of creepy wave like he was flirting with her. Now both of us share the same sense of humour and we but took one look at each other and burst out laughing. Once we started we simply couldn't stop as each of us was setting the other off.

Anyway we eventually stopped and managed to calm down enough by changing the subject that we carried on with the meal inter spaced with the occasional giggle as I tried not to make eye contact with her again I case we started again.

However the three men moved tables giving us dirty glances despite the fact that even if the bloke had been normal looking we still would have reacted the same.

So GLP what do you think, am I evil disabled hating scum or would you have responded the same way?

The downs customers at the store I work at expect me to tie their freaking shoe laces for them. They loose their temper real quick if you ignore them and walk away.

Actually,
On my way back from the grocery store this morning I came upon a mentally handicapped individual trying to cross a 4 lane road. It was raining outside and he had a wooden chair over his head to stop the rain from hitting him (I guess). Anyways, I had ran over to stop traffic but he made it across in time. When I finally got to the other side of the road there were a couple ladies standing there with their iPhone's out and one made a comment to me,"Best instavideo ever" while laughing hysterically. Honestly, I just felt ashamed to be part of the digital generation at that point. What have we become? Too individual to look out for one another. Gotta have the best video on instagram or the most views on youtube... WTF

Sorry to double post but,
What if it were your daughter with the mental handicap and people were laughing at her. Everyone fights their own battles on a daily basis. There's no need to make life harder on an individual by laughing at them trying to fit into our fucked up society.

Yesterday I saw a down man walking on the street, from the time I layed eyes on him he did three things, he mock punched a woman, who luckily for him didn't see it cuz she was with a big black man, he approached a family and without asking for permission kissed their toddler in the face (had I been the father he would have felt my rage) and then sexually harrassed a young girl.

This dude was TROUBLE.
Banned as usual.

“It is far easier to be a weakling than to be a Real Man. Were the Earth less harsh or the circumstances of life less austere, man would destroy himself before the shrine of the languid goddess. Only Real Men can with safety destroy the tangled forests and wilderness of Earth and make from them gardens, but will those who inherit the gardens be Real Men? The law decrees that they must be, or the wilderness will reclaim its own.”

Why do we say walking 'down' the street?
Is this offensive to some?

OP probably doesn't know who Corky Thatcher is, but I do. He was the kid with Downs in Life Goes On. That show aired over here back in 93, and I used to thoroughly enjoy it.
