That depends on whether I am mentally-retarded, yes?

I'm not really concerned who the mentally retarded are, even if it was myself. Especially if it was myself, in fact. That anyone keeps a mentally retarded child is a fulfillment of the narcissism of the mother and an unreasonable burden for no constructive purpose.

I agree; I would just not want to be retarded. -- simple.

All children are a burden without constructive purpose. All kids are created for narcissism. A child that is mentally handicapped or pysically so, does not mean that the parents find the child an unusual burden. These humans have their niche in society that is constructive. We learn from them Their care provides employment for many. That is just two reasons why they hold their niche. to eliminate them would remove part of humanity, we would hold on to being primal animals if we lose our ability to care for the weakest.

I'm declaring myself mentally retarded then. Come and get me you monster!

How did you come to that conclusion? I need to relate to the non-retards first.

Primal animals? Useless distinction. You're speaking in terms of taste.

Not you; you seem to be unsure if you're retarded or not: Lucretia.

Perhaps,, but, so what? Society and culture are about taste, what preference, how to live, etc. If we lose our ability to protect the weakest then we degrade societies to mere survival.

All societies revolve around mere survival and always have.

Degrade? Your enlightened idealism has never come to fruition. There is nothing to degrade!

ROFL, If societies were about mere survival then there would be no entertainment industries. there would be no schools, there would be no travel,, etc. Societies would be nothing but a group of people trying to scratch food out of the earth if it was just for survival.

But the mentally retarded are not entertaining, nor can they be educated.

What's it to you if I want to raise my retarded son and not kill him?

What you take for granted everyday merely exists out of excess.

Without that excess there is only mere survival.

You enjoy such excess because humanity with it's dominionism has made the earth it's playground and anymore slowly it is becoming the only animal left on this planet as it virtually makes existence for other species ( It's competition) inhabitable.

Many species adapt and inhabit the uninhabitable,, the human is not the only creature designed to adapt. We all carry genes of each other. there will be life on this planet until the sun dies.

I suppose autos are about as cruel to life on Earth as anything can be; so it's consistent with his line here. I could be wrong, burning the atmosphere in a such a hurry is not only a habit of America, but it reminds me of Aaron Eckhart in Thank-you for Smoking. That sort of freedom just asks for someone to shoot you.

Lucretia, have you a car anyhow? why would you care? Just for kicks? That's fine, my son can really kick too once he gets started!

Ah, but you are wrong my friend, a great many if not most can be educated enough to have skills for the workplace. Goodwill Industries and others like them prove that they can be taught to care for themselves. Since the families love these humans and they can for the most part learn tasks then they deserve their niche. Even if they could not work or learn, the love that the families bear for them earns their right to live.

Yeah really. Stop being so heartless - lord, don't you have any humanity??

All living things deserve to live, because someone loves them.

Syllogism:

Minor premise: All loved things have a right to live.
Major premise: Retards are loved.
Conclusion: Therefore, retards are immorta.. - wait.. what the hell? Something must be wrong with my logics.

Do you know retards even have a 'right' to vote? What a world man.

Don't you know? This is a world of change and directional progress.

Were all supposed to be moral and equal in this world of change.

Can't you see it?

Retardation comes in varying degrees,,, it is apparent that even intelligent humans can suffer some degree of retardation

I'd just as soon not cook up Down's kids for dinner. Exterminating "all the brutes" is a slightly different matter.

kris, justifying retards' existence with the fact they can be trained to work? That's the same as Lucretia.

I don't know if this was meant to be sarcastic or not, but QFT.

Life is justified one way or another. While I am considered an athiest there are certain religious thoughts that make sense such as: Let ye who is without sin cast the first stone, Judge others as you would be judged.
Now it seems to me that I would be a pretty crappy person if I had no compassion for weaker defensless creatures or humans. Take and not give is a pretty crappy way to live. To remove a life because it is not up to your standards of perfection is nothing more than animal survival instinct to keep the biggest share for yourself and let others die. That attitude sure does not sit well. Retarded and physically handicapped humans have a niche in society they do not drain they give. Those that wish to only keep for themselves are the ones that drain society of resources.
Folks that are not "good" physical or mental human specimans still provide if you care to look. those that wish to remove them are repulsed by these broken humans,, Why? Fear? Probably.

A religious atheist Kriswest? In this post-modern era we certainly have alot of those.
