    There is a grain of salt to be taken with this. While noone should be rejected purely on the basis of a disability, some disabilities do disqualify people from some occupations. Case in point: Down’s syndrome sufferers have a median IQ of half that of the average population; ergo, someone with Down’s syndrome with diminished cognitive capacities – not all, not even close – would be less qualified for some jobs, such as professorship, engineering, and so on. That said, there would be exceptions.

    @garyrollinson1984 I wouldn’t want you to work for me since you can’t spell. That’s not discrimination, that’s you not being able to meet my expectations and the requirements for the job.

    He should have said, “You’re not really a fucking retard, are you?”

    Retards are mistakes, kill them with fire before they get a chance to grow up. They’re destroying and polluting society with their plague.

    By the way, kudos to anyone that thinks it’s clever to say, “Hur hur you’re a retard” or “at least a retard is smarter than you hur hur hur.” I’m sure you’re all “SPESHUL” too.

    Fucking retards. xD

    @vitaedigest That is true, and that place is specially reserved for presidents of nations.
    Ask me about my president, Alvaro Colom of Guatemala.
    The stupidest, most corrupt vermin in all the universe!

    @vitaedigest It’s not about the smartest vs. the dumbest. It’s the moral vs. the immoral. And the answer is because you usually have to step on people to get on top.

    @LovetheV1De05 Are people in fact slightly afraid that the disabled, esp. those with Downs, may not be able to handle all aspects of their job, or problem solve when an issue comes up in their department? I am just asking. Might they be prone to making more mistakes due to their illness or intellect? Is this why discrimination takes place?
    For example, many autistics fixate or cannot problem solve in novel situations.

    @psyjunta Ba-zing.

  14. LovetheV1De05 says:

    Disability and working is a hard thing for others who do not have a disability to recognize–self esteem, self-doubt, and people ranking (always comparing between you and another) disabled people really does have an effect on ALL of society. I have an MS in Diversity Education, yet I am still scared to look inside and see an individual who would be looked at as “just another worker.” All disabilities are different in their effect, but all people are challenged by the label disability.

    I was getting progressively angrier until the end.

    @AmericanSoapBox

    “you’re not really into all that awful house music, are you?” This is hilarious.

  18. jebeja says:

    piflover, Thanks for posting. Very uplifting infomercial.

  19. Sims2freakazoider says:

    @CHINADRAGON1985 He says, “You’re not really into all that awful House music are you?”

    @PamelaRP In case you haven’t NOTICED Oregon has the HIGHEST Unemployment rate IN THE COUNTRY!

    1,000 of people are trying out for the same damn job you are and most are probably better qualified. It has NOTHING to do with your walking stick.
    TRUST ME.

    Thanks to OBAMA Employers are now FORCED to cover everyone with Health Insurance. Health Insurance now must cover ALL Preexisting issues. That VERY COSTLY to Employers.

    THANK OBAMA PAMELA!

  21. PamelaRP says:

    The real truth of the matter is that disabled people are RARELY hired for jobs especially in Oregon. I use a walker and it has been over a year and 117 interviews and no one will hire me at all for work. I was in an accident that was not my falt in 2006 and feel that every person out there is blaming me for my knees being out. The REAL unemployment rate among the disabled is over 350% according to websites I have seen. Discrimination is REAL and there is not a DAMN thing you can do about it.

    @turningpointtelly What a great post!

  23. AlexiisNicole says:

    @actuary33 Then, thank God it’s not up to you. Just tell me, would you still say that if that was you’re daughter? Or someone you loved? Just think, will you?

  24. MLBYERZ says:

    @vitaedigest Because we elect them.. Not I, BUT OTHERS. There are some very dumb people out there, and they vote.

    -BEWARE-

  25. Bjslilone says:
