I agree with you. What makes us human is not what we think, it's what we feel. How can you say another person is like a "pet monkey" and *not* be offensive? I can't believe a teacher would say that to her students! Especially students she didn't know very well. What if one of the students had a brother or sister in that class? Seriously, I'd talk to her about it or at least tell the principal...
I'm currently having an issue with someone on the internet because they're calling me a "little monkey." Because I'm ASD.
I have to say, it's got me pissed off.
Since when have I supportated democracy? *** democracy, Tribal Rule all the way [/endsatire]

OK, you don't out-and-out say she's NT.  You do make it clear you consider yourself to be ASD and NOT her- she's "just an uppitty little college snot".


Well she is. I'm the kind of person that he's has little tolerance for, and here I am pointing out her stupidity of ragging on MRs on a board that has a major "Human rights"
edge to it. Do have to spell it out?

Quote:
I also notice that you, in your previous post, repeatedly refer to her as "***" and otherwise fling about cognitive-disabilty-related insults.  Considering the subject of the original post, I find this to be disgusting and ironic.  What you are doing is exactly what I'd like to see not happening anymore- demeaning MR people by using their diagnosis as an insult to fling at anyone you don't like, just because you don't like them.


Obviously you don't understand how languge evolves. "Gay" is a demeaning word, no longer meaning happy or bright, "queer" is no longer strange. "Cool" these days have been marred around and the meaning is muddy. "Hot" is a word for attraction, and "***" has always been a demeaning word Nothing has changed since the days when clinicans use that word only. Now it's a part of English slang. Get over it. I bet you use that word occassionally too in that meaning. Don't deny it, it's part of out social structure. I bet you use "gay" and "hot" in the slang context all the time. Who **** cares if I use "***" as a derogitory word. I ment to be ironic! That was the point.

And you know what? What irrates me about the rights of the MR/DD is people like you. That whine everytime some one uses slang dialouge of "***." Hell most of my MD (despite your belief that I have any with the tone of your post) friends. Don't give two shits anymore if I use it, even one themselves have use that word before in it's slang context. Seriously, nobody cares anymore. It's simple lanaguge evolution. Stop with the Waaaahbulance ***. It gets old.

Quote:
And once again, let me clarify (since you don't seem to get it) that I'm not standing up for her- I think she's an arogant snot, too.  I hope she gets herself banned.


You yourself is sounding pretty arrogant(thats how you spell it BTW) too. Seriously quit it.

Oh please grow up. It's forum. I can care less about your "feelings." Sorry if "Offended" you but...wait hold on. Nope never mind. I'm not sorry. I don't see why I should. Honesty is all I have. Not tact. It's not my fault that you don't understand laungauge evolution.
Are you saying that I'm not welcomed here?
Geez, this started one great big argument... looks like it's kinda over...

But here's what I think, anyway:

If the only people in the world who are truly valuable are people who contribute to society, and people who contribute a lot to society are more valuable (as people) than people who barely manage to hold their own, and the "more valuable" people have less respect for "less valuable" people... they don't even turn out as "valuable" (by Louise18's standards) as they would be in the first place.

I mean, if smarter people think themselves superior, and only "tolerate" the (for lack of a more sophisticated word) dumber people, then they shouldn't be obligated to help them, right?

In that case, they're NOT contributing to society.

And you say if the value of one's life depends solely on his/her achievements, you might as well say the sole purpose of life is to build a better world. If you say the sole purpose of life is to build a better world, you might as well say that doing anything other than working is a waste of time, which means the things that make us happy are a waste of time, love is a waste of time, and life in general is a waste of time. If life is a waste of time, why should we keep bother to improve the quality of it? The entire idea just contradicts itself.

I try to respect all people equally. I say "try" because I'm not perfect and can be judgmental just as anyone else, and because some people make it very hard. And do you know what trait I find the absolute hardest to overlook? Lack of respect for other people.I have a tutor, too, and though she is better at math than me and knows it, she has never made me feel like an inferior person. In return, I am more motivated to live up to the respect she has for me and do well.  Respect is a two-way thing. Deal with it.

SheWhoCan'tThinkofaUserName,

Well said.

But... what would you say if someone claims the only "valuable" people are those who are intellectually gifted; those who have this logical "quick-learning" ability?  I've not done much research on these topics, but what I have observed among many gifted folks, is this "quick-learning" ability, which goes a long way toward great academic success (in some cases, swift and relatively easy success.)  And I have seen that many folks who are not intellectually gifted, seem to lack this "quick-learning" ability that is ever so useful for getting a high score on an IQ test, or getting through school without studying.

How would you respond to that?


What do you mean? Isn't that what I just argued against?

Oh! Now I get it... I think.

Well, more or less the same thing I suppose. Except, would be even worse, because the idea completely discredits all the other talents people can have.
LOL I gots praise :3

I'm just saying that Louise18 is just a whiny little troll <<
Dude don't be hating on wasps. Seriously man D: I love mah bugs.

that is so true lashire. i was on wrongplanet, and i saw hypocrites all over the place. one aspie admitted that he bullies anyone who appears to be "emo." then some misogynist chick creates threads expressing her hatred towards all women as individuals (exept herself). and many others don't have any respect for aspies that are willing to keep their diagnosis out of the closet. they think that all it does is draw bullies, and so they bully along with. people like that are the reason i rarely go to wrongplanet. i definitely prefer aspies for freedom, even though i don't get thread replies as quickly.


I agree.

Wow... that's just... very sad. Sad

The truth is most animals will never evolve beyond their current stage of development and now that we are here because  we've evolved faster, we are the rightful gods of this world


Accually to be blunt. That line alone is made of epic fail. First off, we are not gods. We never are, that kind of thinking is dangerous and elitist. It's that kind of mindset that creates genocide. We are animals are selves. Just an intelligent ape with tools and an ego, and IMO insects dominate the planet more so than us egostical chimps.

And if half to parrot myself earlier, watch what you say in a fourm filled with Human Rights Activtists.

Does anyone in this thread have even the slightest belief in God!?

Geez, this is depressing.  Where's GuessWho when you need him?


Yeah, I'm surprised he hasn't shown up...
