Have to agree with Spirit. I don’t see where I have to be mentally handicapped or have a mentally handicapped person to find it offensive when Mr. Infanticide Supporter makes fun of vulnerable people.
Just semantic differences, I guess. I use “offended” when I feel an emotional state of personal affront. I can, in fact, say a comment is “offensive” without saying that I am “offended.”
It’s just me ... I make up my own language as I go along. And this is my best effort at communicating with the general public; if you ran into us at home, you probably wouldn’t understand us at all!
LOL! Fair enough, FRiend.
ping.
Ok ok. That’s right.
A straw man. Just a diversion from being offended by his horrible, horrible decisions concerning every aspect of The USA. If this gaff concerning him was even a flicker compared to the real offense of Obama we would be in an extremely much better way. They are trying to cause us to strain at gnats but in the mean time swallow camels. Ridiculous!
Exactly!

Yes! I have a Down Syndrome granchild.
I didn’t even know what the stigma was until I looked up the word “handicap” in the dictionary. This means that I am either incredibly ignorant or you are way too easily offended. You have never been so offended in your life? Truly? I am actually quite envious of your sheltered life as I have heard nouns that would make the Nazis cringe. Most of these are spoken on a daily basis by modern day eugenicists.

I have a severely mentally disabled (not merely challenged) aunt and I pray that you never hear the words that others have used to describe her. You are truly lucky.
Not offended by the special olympics comment.
Was very offended by his “Don’t embarrass me” comment in re March Madness.
Thanks for the ping!
