I'd hate to see what that woman would do if one of her own children had an accident and became disabled...
Like the hard decision of who in the world deserves to live or die, it seems.RatherDull said:I earned all of that through hard work and making tough decisions.Lilani said:Because your contribution to society is completely efficient and ecologically friendly, as you spend time browsing and posting in an Internet chat forum on a video games web site vie a computer, run by electricity, built in China, harboring God knows how many poisonous chemicals and artificial materials. And the fact that you (presumably) play video games and watch anime are also not at all in excess of what is required to survive. Because excess is the foundation of western society, and you do not at all indulge in that excess.RatherDull said:I agree with whoever wrote the letter.
We're not in a situation in our society where we absolutely need everyone to survive. If someone is harboring a child like that at the cost of everyone else and being a drain on society, then it is better to have the kid euthanized.
For everyone's sake.
Neither does threatening their children with death. What's your point?asinann said:scorptatious said:I get what you're saying. Although I do think she could have handled this situation a lot better. A letter simply asking them to keep the kid under control would have sufficed.RickyChinese said:I kind of sympathise. I doubt they literally believe that the disabled should be euthanized; they're frustrated because they have to deal with that shit in their homes and have probably been dealing with it for some time.
People say a lot of shit when they're frustrated. Besides, what kind of parent lets their low functioning autistic child run the street, acting up? At least she took it out on them instead of the kid.
Polite tends to not work with people who let their children run free.
To me, you're okay making a complaint regarding noise, and that's it. Perhaps just a verbal request to the parent of an unruly child or perhaps a comment to an establishment you're in requesting if they could settle the situation. If the child is autistic, I'd give a much wider berth, since you know that they have a cognitive condition that can cause them to exhibit that sort of behaviour more.thaluikhain said:-snip-
I get where you're coming from, but at the same time, killing people off because they can't function at a high enough level is a very dangerous thing to do, for one more selfish reason in particular:RatherDull said:Can these people even survive if they aren't consistently given handouts or special treatment?
Really, is it so unreasonable to expect people to live entirely off of their work? Like, they work, they get paid, they survive that way.
Hell, it's even easy to get behind programs to help people get to a point where they can contribute like everyone else. Like foodstamps and the like.
But if they're never going to get to that point because they simply cannot function on a high enough level, then what good are they?
If they can get to the point where they can live completely independent of special treatment or programs (if they need living assistance, then they can pay for it themselves), then just ignore me.
I completely agree and it makes me sick when I see this kind of shit seriously if it was my son and someone sent this I'd be like "who the fuck sent this?! who in their right fucking mind would dare do this sick, hateful piece of shit under my door, I'm gonna find who the fuck sent this and shove my foot up this cowardly witch's ass". great now i'm angry my day has been fucking ruinedLilani said:I don't know how much you know about autistic kids, but that isn't always the case. This obviously wasn't the first time it's happened, and she called him a "wild animal child" which I'm guessing means pretty severe autism. And there are times when they are simply inconsolable, but he needs fresh air and human interaction just as anyone else does so they can't just keep him in all the time.william12123 said:However, if the child is outside and constantly wailing, there is something wrong.
The woman went out of her way to not only express her grievances, but also to personally insult the child and the parents.
It scares the hell out of my normal children!!!!!!!!!
He is a nuisance to everyone and will always be that way!!!!!! Who the hell is going to care for him????????? No employer will hire him, no normal girl is going to marry/love him and you are not going to live forever!!
T]hey should take whatever non retarded body parts he possesses and donate it to science. What the hell else good is he to anyone!!!!
You had a retarded kid, deal with it... properly!!!!! What right do you have to do this to hard working people!!!!!!!!!
I don't care if he was being louder than a fucking jet engine. There is never an excuse for that.
Thankfully I can just ignore your utilitarianist extremist opinion, right? I shall also refrain from making comparisons between your ideas and Nazist doctrine, though you are making it easy for someone to do just that.RatherDull said:Can these people even survive if they aren't consistently given handouts or special treatment?

I was never given any real help. I was rarely given handouts, and even when I did, I only used them when I needed them.RatherDull said:Can these people even survive if they aren't consistently given handouts or special treatment?
