# I saw an advert for the national downsers society last night.
Basically it was a kid going MY FRIEND JOSH IS WELL COOL HE MAKES ME LAUGH AND MAKES SURE IM OK, MUM SAYS HE HAS AN EXTRA CHROMOSONE, I DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS BUT I WISH I HAD ONE.

Does anyone else think its wrong to tell our children having downs syndrome is something to be desired?

# The thing is
when I tried to explain to my Mum that it truly was an achievement, she used it as a reason to start on about how chinese people throw their babies away (some story about a guy who found 5 babies at a rubbish tip in china).

I mean, I dont want that kind of downer. That's a negative, and right now I need 2 positives. /Partridge

# Again, one of 'those' subjects
For example, I once saw a blind man walk into a lamppost. I laughed. This doesnt mean I ROFLCOPTER at the blind, it just means my childish and warped sense of humour couldnt engage with my adult compasionate part of my brain.

# it is indeed.
if they do something funny it's funny, if they're in a funny situation it's funny, if they say something funny, again...
intrinsically there isn't anything at all humorous about downs syndrome or poeple who have it, which is why i tend to throw my toys out of the pram when someone on here uses someone with downs for a very cheap gag because it's far easier than thinking of something original.

# Yeah.
I mean - B3ta's not exactly reknowned for it's politically correct, health & safety-obsessed clean livin family fun-style of humour.

Downs? Bastard.

Whether or not you choose to take offense is up to you.

# I think the point is
he's allowed to challenge:

'whatever they say it's funny to look at someone with downs' as he doesn't agree. I dont think hes coming across as one of those people who moans abotu everything.

# blimey it's still rattling on down here
and it's always the same line about the nature of b3ta usually followed, although not in this instance about why did you sign up, i play here because it is what it is and i love it for it. and as i've said before i was amazed that anyone still finds mocking downs and even using the nasty mong word acceptable,it fell out of my vocabulary some 30 years ago. i was harbouring under the misguided illusion that it had gone the way of homophobia and racism and that folk had become a little more imaginative/enlightened in their choice of subjects to mock just because they are what or who they are. and as i said up there is humour to be had from anything if a little imagination is used. downs lol!!!! just doesn't cut it for me. that's about the size of it really.
