bobmun Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I for one commend cntrylvr for removing that avatar. I personally see it as offensive. I can take a joke that is directed towards me no matter how cruel or personal, but that avatar is directed towards people whom cannot defend themselves, and rely on other people to look out for them. Have you ever attended one of those events or spent any time with one of those individuals? Maybe if you had you would see where I am coming from. Go ahead and start bashing me I can take it. Sorry for the rant but I have a relative who has disabilities and I have volunteered at the Special Olympics and have seen first hand the abuse these poor people are subject to. You may think that it is just a joke and no big deal, but aren’t these people unfairly punished enough? Anyway just my thoughts let my bashing begin. I will even make it easy for you, I am overweight and going bald and I am a White Sox fan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 A White Sox fan? AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I hate them, but at least lie and say you are a Red Sox fan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 ummm, punished enough? isnt it more cruel to not treat them as 'normal'? by not making fun of them as we would you we are in essence treating them differently because of their disability.. I say so as to introduce them into society as a human being and not as a disabled person, we should treat them the same, including making fun of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobmun Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yes punished enough, I have heard horror stories from other volunteers about kids having their braces kicked out from underneath them as they walk down the street, being pelted with snow balls or rocks even one event where some jackass threw eggs. I have witnessed idiot’s mock their speech and facial expressions. Mimic their walk and hand gestures and so on, real funny stuff. Once again I am all for joking around with people if you knew me you would know that. But I draw the line at joking with someone who does not have the ability to joke back. That in my opinion is cruel. Treat them like everyone else in every other aspect of life but I think they deserve a break from us at least in that way. But everyone has his or her own opinion this is mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Ok I think it's time to end this thread, before it gets out of hand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 well that brought the thread down huh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Yeah kinda thought I see a bunch of toilet jokes, but ah whatever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobmun Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I realize that last post was a buzz kill and must make me look like a blubbering politically correct liberal, which I guarantee could not farther from truth. But take my word for it, volunteer once and your opinion will change. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznsmartass24 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 To bring back the humor... Does anyone actually remember those things lasting for 2000 flushes? I think 200 was more like it before it became nothing more than severly diluted blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 No, but then again what ever lasts as long as it's advertised to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PaisanNYC Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 but getting back to my last subject. the White Sox???? come on man. I am guessing you prefer deep dish pizza too. Man did Chicago kill pizza. Try some NYC pizza bobmun (PS - I edited my previous posts) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobmun Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Deep dish is for the tourists on Michigan Ave. and at Wrigley Field. And by the way when my sox are out of it, which happens too often I always root for the Yankees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznsmartass24 Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 i am not a big baseball fan, so what is the mascot of the white soxs? Please dont tell me they are sponsored by Hanes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobmun Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 The current White Sox mascot is Southpaw I have no idea what he is. A southpaw is typically a left-handed pitcher. The logo is just sox in script. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
