2. Umm, let me guess...
Not being so stupid that you think jokes making fun of the mentally retarded are funny?

5. So was that the right answer?
Edited on Thu Oct-07-04 12:44 PM by DrWeird
Because only a small child, a stupid teenager, or an adult bastard would make fun of the mentally handicapped.

6. I don't know the right answer, dude-man...
I was asked to come up with an answer to this riddle... That's why I asked if anyone knew...

Maybe I shoulda asked: "Which pathetic scat-muncher want's to get bent about a silly riddle?"

12. They aren't all "retarded"
My son is quite bright, but autistic. He is ahead of his class on spelling, but he can barely speak. He has no competitive instincts or desire to engage in group sports. Yet, we'll be trying to get him involved in S.O. when the time comes.

Be glad you aren't the parent of a disabled child. It's a hard life.

15. Well, I can chime in here as well.
I've worked with people with disabilities for 24 years. It totally pisses me off when people, who really should know better, make fun of people with mental retardation.

You know, it's not a lifestyle they chose. They were born this way. And it's mighty big of you to make fun of people for something they can't help. I guess you're just a superior human being, huh?

But they've got something that you apparently don't, and that's integrity. So, enjoy your little jokes at the expense of others. Karma awaits all of us.
