Well, that's just Retarded

Years ago, the comedian (realist, truth-teller) Bill Maher noted that having a retarded child is like having a dog. It's a pet. That's the best you can say.

He got into a lot of trouble for that remark. But what if you had a neighbor with a dog that barked constantly? OR...wait for it...a RETARDED NEIGHBOR that made distracting weird noises? Aren't you entitled to some peace and fucking quiet on either count?

At what point should somebody else's "rights" interfere with your own? Is the excuse "oh, it's a doggy, it's going to bark" really valid when it comes to a human's comfort and peace of mind? Is the excuse, "Oh, sorry, but my son is a retard, so he can do what he pleases" also valid?

You might remember the movie "The Miracle Worker" in which Helen Keller's family allowed her to be wild, grab food off everyone's plates, and act like an animal because she was deaf and blind. But Annie Sullivan would have none of that, and taught Helen manners and shaped her into a useful citizen.

So here's a MEANIE who isn't thrilled with living near a noisy retard. The reaction? Why, of course, let's all GET THE MEANIE..find out which neighbor it is! KILL! KILL!

This, coming from people who obviously don't live near this peculiar kid and have to listen to his inane braying, or whatever the fuck he's doing. Frankly, NORMAL, so called NORMAL kids are a fucking pain in the ass. They sing, scream, screech, repeat the same crap over and over...who needs it?

The letter that Mother-of-Retard received is pretty well written. Not exactly PC, but in its exasperation, expresses a lot of what people actually think. Like, what IS the point of having a kid who is no better than a pet dog? What happens after you die and your idiot kid is still around?

I don't think this letter should be dismissed so quickly with PC sobbing and "Let's GET this person."

There are very serious and legitimate questions here. First and foremost...how much fucking noise should anyone have to tolerate? I say NONE. Noise is NOISE.

NOISE is unwanted and unnecessary volume. What's necessary is if you have to repair something with a hammer or saw. What's tolerable, maybe, is a New Year's Eve party, although most any party can be taken to a restaurant or some other place that can host such an event. You have stupid kids (or retarded ones, or a dog) that need to make noise? Go to a fucking playground.

While I think it's unnecessary and cruel to tell a woman that her idiot son should be euthanized and the good parts harvested, the underlying point IS valid. If you can tell in advance that the kid is going to be a useless waste of space...don't allow religion to brainwash your decision to abort. Don't feel you have to be a martyr for the rest of your life, or think that GOD is testing you and you MUST accept misery and expense because there's something noble going on.

We need to get over this shit about every life being sacred. The planet is overcrowded. Abortion is a good alternative, especially for a defective child. And just as a retarded kid is no better than a dog, let's remember how often people go to the pet store...and do NOT adopt the defective doggy-pie. No, they want the healthy one that yips and yaps and bounces up and down and looks good.

I'll bet you the Muslims see a retard come out...and they stone it to death. Fuck Mohamed. They'll find something in the Koran to justify killing that retard.

Most hospitals now, they catch defects very quickly and give good counsel to the parents.

With ultrasound, a lot of defectives don't get born...don't burden anyone with care and expense. What's the big fucking deal here? Go fuck again and try for something better. Or adopt.

A photo of this kid isn't the same as a video. How LOUD is this kid? What the fuck is he doing all day long with his strange noises? YOU'D want have a neighbor like this? Same thing with a dog. Sure, you walk your lovely doggie-pie and people admire it. Wow, what a nice doggie-pie. But these people aren't stepping in its shit and listening to it bark all night.

So fuck off, to these people who don't actually live next door to this kid and have to deal with what this letter-writer is dealing with. It's not to say the letter-writer is 100% right. Maybe this kid ISN'T making such a lot of noise. Maybe this person just has a repulsion and aversion to anyone different. Frankly, there are a lot of people who simply don't want to be reminded of life's unfairness every day. If I lived next to a doddering old wreck, it would depress me. I'd want to move. Same thing if it was some retard. Some might find it uplifting: wow, look at how that handicapped person, that old person that sick person, that wretched person, keeps going. What an inspiration! Me? I'd just say it's a drag. And that goes for a handicapped guy wearing a dress.

Then again, a well-dressed Yuppie strutting out of the house and into his Jaguar would annoy me, too. I'd beat him into a retard. And don't get me started on having to deal with a dirty-looking slob of a neighbor who plays the drums, thinks he's a rock star, and thinks he deserves a reverential smile and hello as he walks by. That's a retard, for you!

A well-balanced report in this situation, would have somebody from the newspaper actually witness what this kid is doing...not just create a one-sided sob story.

I do know someone who has a severely retarded child...and she's fine with it. That's very nice when there's such a perfect "match." She's somewhat of a realist. She knows she has to provide for the kid after she's gone. But she looks at this kid as a great gift, because his being "different" sheds a whole new light on how she looks at things. And I've seen it too. It's sort of like being with a blind person...and you become more attuned to sounds and smells when you're with that person. Still, there are others who avoid her if the kid's around, and most certainly wouldn't want to go out to dinner if she brings the kid along because, as one of them said to me, it's no fun to be at a table where a retard "does nothing but slobber."

If you were in a restaurant and a woman and her retard was at the table, and the kid was gurgling and slobbering, would you ask the waiter if you could move? Would you walk out rather than have an unpleasant meal? OK, maybe you wouldn't go up to the broad and tell her she shouldn't have brought her retard in the first place...but you might think about it! It's a bit of a question what kind of letter you DO write to someone who has a noisy retard disturbing you...but let's not say that the person has no freedom of speech in being allowed to write such a letter. And FUCK YOU to all the people who sneer that it was sent "anonymously." Not when so many of you are in love with LulzSec and Anonymous and being able to download off the Internet using a fake ISP number.

And yes, "retard" is NOW being considered a taboo word. How fucking retarded. It's a perfectly good word. Maybe it shouldn't be used in a song by the Black-eyed Peas ("Let's get retarded..." ie drunk) but in referring to someone who doesn't have the mentality of the ordinary human, more like the ordinary dog, its' fine. So is idiot and imbecile and moron...which were at one time clinical terms used to describe adults who had the mentality of a 6 year old 8 year old or 12 year-old.

Let's also remember that retards are NOT a minority group. They are responsible for most of the download buys of Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber music.
