And then some.

Making fun of the Special Olympics, which gives more hope to more kids who have given up on hope, is lower than low.

Sadly, I have seen that picture before, too.

I am giving the original poster an opportunity to delete it. I imagine the intent was innocent so he should get the opportunity to take care of this.

I have a sister with Down Syndrome.

I find it extremely offensive.

And thank you Mark.

To the contrary, most have fantastic amounts of hope and tend to only see the optomistic side to things. That is the interesting thing. Who really is the speacial needs person......... us or them.

Bad taste, yes. But, hey, PC police......give the guy a break.

Understand your point, TJ, and it's true of many people with that handicap, including my sister.

But that poster isn't intended to make that point.

And I believe most would agree this forum isn't a PC Police State.
