Life
Some people understand life better,
and they call some of these people “retarded”...
At the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or
mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash.
At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with a
relish to run the race to the finish and win.
All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt,
Tumbled over a couple of times, and began to cry.
The other eight heard the boy cry. They slowed down and looked back.
Then they all turned around and went back ... every one of them.
One girl with Down’s Syndrome bent down and kissed him and said,
“This will make it better."
Then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line.
Everyone in the stadium stood, the cheering went on for several minutes.
People who were there are still telling the story...
Why?
Because deep down we know this one thing:
What matters in this life is more than winning for ourselves. What
matters in this life is helping others win, even if it means slowing
down and changing our course.
If you pass this on, we may be able to change our hearts as well as
someone else’s.
“A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle”
most people would leave them there to cry and rush to the finish line DONT USE RETARTED IN A BAD WAY

So, we should all stop and go back and help you hand in hand back to the real world?
The world should stop progressing and moving forward in a Darwinian way in order to literally go against nature and allow the weak to survive, not the strong?
Where would the world be then? Scandanavia?
whats wrong with scandanavia? it is a very forward thinking, clean, virtually crime free, culturally rich western democracy with a very strong economy.
anyways, when i get a dog i’m gonna call it syndrome, so when it jumps up at people an that i can shout DOWN SYNDROME! at it.

no but ppl use the word retard in a bad way to make fun of ppl such as u r a retard or thats so retarded when most retards r nicer than most non retards
so do you call people “non retard” as an insult?

but reatrd is a word that means a “decline”. if a car retards it slows down. if a baby is retarded i has faults. if it u are mentally retarded ur brain does not work properly. the fact is, and i hate to burst ur bubble, the word retard was given to these people for a reason. and that reason is that they are “faulty” or inferior in one way or another. so retarded can be used in a bad way because thats what the word means.
what u are suggesting is also like sayin we should use the word mother fucker or shit head as a praiseing word also.
very good big gay fag, i was gonna write sommat similar. a+!

yay some other sane/smart people in this forum.
altho i wud have preferred a blue peter badge.
yeah, when you get down to it there are only a few people on here worth bothering to talk to.
sorry about the badge, though i do believe that you have to do more than write a post that somebody agrees with in order to get one, they can’t just give them out to anybody, i mean they wouldnt be such a thing of beauty else would they?

Hi, sodapop & every1 else. I would just like to say to the ones making jokes like lord & bigfatfag that its no fun to be retarded & the way you act toward retarded people (as we all can see from your posts) you think the weak should not get special treatment?

actually the fact that humans respect & help the weak is what seperates us from the animals, & in America they do have something that gives “retarded people” money for free, lol bet that pisses some of you off knowing your taxes are going to retards — -I think(im not sure)
Anyways I am what some of you would call retarded
but I’m only mildly retarded which I consider worse(Disability in math)
I’m too stupid to get respect & not stupid enough to get pity
