No you didn't overreact. It was how you felt and you were just saying such and that is honest, and true. You was not disrespectful to me, didn't call me horrible names etc. I view that as "real" honesty at its purest form and that I respect.
As far as context, I would never do such, I can not lie though at times it does cross my mind in dealing with "normal" people and their behavior as such. That makes me laugh at my frustrations and the frustrations go away. When I said what I did it was not "mentally challenged kids" per say, it is with the what most call "Normal Adults" that I was referring to. Also when I say Retarded I mean it in the actual medical term. Same with ignorant vs stupid. A lot of people take these words and think they are offensive when in fact if a person is using it correctly it is not offensive. I am very ignorant when it comes to the subject of cosmology, I am very stupid when it comes to the subject of politics. I am retarded when it comes to people's emotions and political correctness. (true facts by the way)
I agree with you wholeheartedly on bullying and would be at your side on such. Everyone is not equal even the "normals" are not equal. Hell, I am not equal. To think such in my OP would be asinine.
In working all those years in Neuroscience, I was at one point a pediatric technologist working in quite a few Pediatric LvL 1 trauma centers across the US. I was allowed the privilege to work with kids from the mentally challenged to server head trauma. I was truly amazed at the kids because the majority of the time it was the "Normal" parents that in my opinion that was "Retarded" God I wanted to kill the parents or caregivers so freaking bad.
There was one little girl that I worked with quite often. The mother a single mom she had her chit together. The child was severely autistic age 13, I was the only technologist on our team that could get her to cooperate for testing without sedation. For some strange reason she took to me which most mentally challenged kids do, I don't know why. Any how, I found out she loved to do Yarn Arts and she found out I loved deer. She made me large a photo sized deal of a buck head in yarn. That was over 10 years ago and I still have it to this day. It's one of my most prized possessions.
