http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Down_syndrome

the S is fine. Many other diseases are named after people in the same way. For example:

  • Banti's disease,
  • Barrett's ulcer
  • Berger's disease
  • Carrión's disease
  • Cogan's syndrome
  • Conn's Syndrome
  • Cushing's disease
  • Duke's disease
  • Felty's syndrome
  • Graves' disease
  • Hansen's disease
  • Huntington's disease
  • Krabbe's disease
  • Ludwig's angina
  • Poland's syndrome
  • Reiter's syndrome
  • Sjogren's syndrome
  • Thomsen's disease
  • Turner's syndrome
  • Wegener's granulomatosis
  • Wernicke's encephalopathy
  • Heyde's syndrome

Talking about deli meat in drives...

When I was 11, I told my little 4 year old cousin that if you put a slice of ham in the dvd player it would play a short film about pigs. Cheese would do the same with cows. They needed a new DVD player as pork products got wedged in there, and my cousin got in real trouble...he did tell his parents what I said, but they didn't believe him.

[–]xaronax 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They probably believed him, but said they didn't to teach him to think for himself. My parents did it to me, and I do it to my kids. Makes 'em smart.

Yeah it's also pretty hilarious the way black people's skin functions...

I have a brother with downs. I don't really care so much people continuing to make fun of others with downs, it's a battle I'm not going to fight or win.

I do however try to find what exactly is funny here, aside from the fact he has downs. All I can think of

"Haha, the thought of a mentally retarded person fixing a computer is funny!"

"Haha, a mentally retarded person totally would put a piece of deli meat in my computer in attempts to fix it."

I don't want to fight about it, but am curious if maybe I'm blinded by the downs thin because of my life situation, maybe there is somethign else here funny that I am missing that's not related to downs syndrome.

[–]Bacon_Hero 1 point2 points ago

[–]deehoc2113 -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Personally I don't find it the same. Stupid people have the physical capability of much more. Mentally retarded people are disabled.

Also to me it sounds like you are implying the main funny part of this image is the fact that the person was likely to be mentally challenged from the moment they were born. I just don't see how that's funny =/

[–]Bacon_Hero 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't think it's fair to say that a stupid person can do so much more. While this may be true for some, there are a lot of people who are truly just unintelligent.

As for why I found it funny, tbh I laughed my ass off at the picture and somehow I didn't even notice that the person had a real mental problem until I read the comments.

Why people make fun of others

  • Because we're all hilarious in our own special way.

People in general are insensitive and inconsiderate

On what do you base that claim? Sweeping generalizations like that have no place in reasonable discussion, and you know that. You're better than this.

Some people might make fun of some conditions because they look funny to them, they don't understand them, they are insecure because they have it too, they were given the wrong ideas about them, or they are just mean.

What's your point? The entirely of comedy is based on context and the ability to look at a situation from different, often conflicting, perspectives. Step outside yourself for a second. Everything is funny, everything, so long as you can move past your own position long enough to understand why.

I don't think any disorder, condition or disease should be made fun of, because its an issue of perspective.

The issue of perspective is precisely what makes something funny.

There is a difference between something legitimately being funny and putting someone down for another person's benefit.

How do you differentiate between legitimate humour and illegitimate humour? If someone finds something funny, that thing is by definition funny even if only to them. You personally finding something not funny in no way creates an objective truth in which that topic is suddenly not allowed to be found funny. By what authority do you or anyone else determine what is safe to be made fun of and what is not?

When humor is at its most offensive is when we need it most. Comedy is supposed to provoke, supposed to offend, supposed to challenge our pre-conceived notions precisely because it forces us to look at ourselves in a way we hadn't before.

Yes, humour can alienate, but that risk is something we need to be mature enough to accept. The alternative is censorship. We're thinking, reasoning adults and we deserve the right live free from any kind of censorship. Any kind.

Sometimes, humor is the only way we can deal with grim reality. The hilarity of the human condition is that we don't all get the same deal. We're all screwed in one way or another, and that's pure comedy gold.

Either everything can and should be made fun of, or nothing can and should be made fun of. Which world would you rather live in?

Don't you understand that the same arguments you're using here can be used about making fun of anybody for anything? Watch:

In what way do we need to make fun of [black/ white/ brown/ yellow/ fat/ thin/ smart/ stupid/ young/ old/ teenage/ adult/ male/ female/ etc] people? I still don't see how making fun of [that group of] people is progressing society. I believe that humor like this is a negative influence on society.

This is what I'm talking about when I say it's all or none. You can't pick and choose, otherwise you're saying some groups are better than other groups.

The parts of ourselves we have no control over are no more or less funny than the parts of ourselves we have complete control over.

As the parent of a child who has special needs and atypical facial characteristics (Noonan Syndrome) it's easy to see how someone might laugh at this until you realize that a number of people with whom these disabled men, women, and children interact with feel comfortable having a laugh at their expense. These are people who, through no fault of their own, live with aytypical features or intelligence. Saying you are "going to hell" for laughing at this shit does not make it ok. /Rant

I guarantee that if I made a gay meme I would get downvoted to oblivion. Why? Because it isn't fucking funny to make fun of people for the way that they are.

Oh, get off your high horse. I'm gay, and I'll laugh at faggot jokes all day as long as they're funny. Half my family is black or mixed-race but I still laugh at nigger jokes. I have a friend with spina bifida and a cousin with Down's, and I used to work with the disabled in a learning facility, yet I'll still laugh at retard and cripple jokes.

If you can come up with a funny gay meme, bring it on. I'll only downvote it if it's shit.

If you think I won't laugh at Perez Hilton's face out of some sort of gay solidarity, you're looking at the wrong person. He's a laughable caricature of gayness and the world would be a better place without his tawdry little website.

As for the second one, it could use work. It's trying to be clever by not meeting the usual expectations of the Yo Dawg meme, but it's still not funny. I'm not offended by it though. I'd downvote it for being a poor joke, not any other reason.

When I was 6, I had a neighbour my age who put a piece of baloney in his parents' CD drive and closed it.

They had to ask my dad for directions on how to replace the drive.

Even as a 6-year old I was thinking to myself "wow, this kid is an idiot."
