Stock is falling, peope are mauling

In life, there comes situations hilarious enough to cause self-reflection.

Question of the Day:

Are handicaps humorous?

Brett's Take: With a great deal of would-be remorse, yes, they are. However, laughing at those who have disabilities is followed by the most subsequent guilt, which usually serves as a lesson: don't laugh at disabled people. They can't do anything about it, so use some forced/natural empathy and be a friend to them.

There are exceptions though, such as a handicapped female from my good ol' high school. She's known for random and sporratic outbursts and screams that often penetrate the concetration of fellow students. Another habit of hers is to physically interact with peers by means of slapping, grabbing or submission moving each of which leaves the said girl viciously smiling as her 'opponent' is left awkwardly helpless. Normally, I'm very open with the special ed. students, having fun and conversations and whatnot. But with her, I'm terrified; she can strike at any time and who knows how she'll do it. Ignorant? Perhaps. Cautious? Definitely.

Anyways, she wore a shirt the other day:
'My Best Subject is Socializing'.

I'm sorry, but if your child has an obvious social disorder, do not buy a shirt like that.

Wow. Just...wow.

This will bite me someday,
Brett . tterB
