I like that someone so sensitive as to be physically hurled though space by the word retarded wrote such a ridiculous caricature of a retarded person.

I cant believe that this person bothered writing this whole story. They are so sensitive to words but keep contemplating attacking the person who said them as if that reaction is somehow noble. If this person really has a kid with autism, I imagine the kid is absolutely miserable.

Thank you, entertainment committee.
I've met a lot of people diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum (not all of them, I'll admit) and none of them have ever acted anything like that. Not even close to that. I don't know what the gently caress that story is supposed to be, apart from someone having a sad wank about how good and special they think they are.

If you make the mistake of reading the author's original post on her blog, you'll figure out instantly why she wrote that bullshit story. She got so many asspats from commenters, going on about how brave she was and what a compassionate soul she is and so on. :barf:

I can actually kind of believe this one, but it's probably got the reason all wrong. My wife went into labor at around eleven in the morning and refused to leave her office until after five. Of course this is because she knew from her last pregnancy the hospital wouldn't admit her yet since her contractions being too far apart, so she figured she could get poo poo done while she waited. I could see someone saying "well, I can't go yet and I'll be stuck in a maternity ward for the next couple days, may as well get a good meal while I wait." Of course in that case you wouldn't go to loving IHOP.

People do dumb poo poo like that all the time, my aunt once had a woman with a broken arm come in for a haircut because she didn't want to look bad at the ER

This is true. I forgot that printers are the goddamn devil and they will find new ways to gently caress up just printing black ink on white paper every single time you try.

I never met a 5th grader who could write so well as to perfectly execute a loser 20 year old pretending to be a 10 year old. Kid should be in Harvard.


In 5th grade I went to one of the shittiest schools in the city and we still had hardcore vocabulary lessons and wrote long rear end essays.

E: and that cutesy handwriting and marker wouldn't fly. That's an instantaneous F.

Please, why would a person be upset at everyone in the grocery store suddenly announcing in turn that they want to gently caress your significant other? Next you'll be telling me the mother instead of being flattered would feel extremely uncomfortable or that they wouldn't spontaneously burst into "Bohemian Rhapsody" after announcing their lust for her.

They banned running at my elementary school. If you ran during recess, you'd be sitting on the bench for the rest of the break.

My friend ran into a teacher accidentally while we were playing tag. She didn't fall or anything, but it was probably a bit of a surprise. This prompted Ms. Mean to punish the whole school. So she self-righteously banned running.

The next day, Ms. Mean met with all the fifth grade classes to justify her decision. She said people only need one hour of exercise a week to be healthy. It was ridiculously stupid, and that's not any sort of justification for the decision. The tension in the room was palpable. My fifth grade teacher just sat at his desk, chuckling at the sheer ridiculous nature of the whole thing.

The next day, the entire 4th grade and 5th grade sat down by the play structure for the entirety of recess. When they told us to stop sitting together via megaphone, everyone walked around the perimeter of the kickball field and sang songs together.

My friends and I made a ton of flyers to bring back running. While we were handing them out before school, the principal grabbed one. We thought we were in huge trouble. It turns out the principal was never told about this "ban on running."

Mean old lady was taken off yard duty. I don't think she works at my elementary school anymore.
