One Legged Wonder

u post this and yet u wish to hide the truth from children?

I didn't say we should hide the truth from the children, that is not what I am saying, I think it is fine for them to learn about the disableds and the mental people, that is not the problem.

I am just saying children shouldn't be exposed to them unnecessarily, after all do you want your children to catch the disease that turned these people mental or made their legs fall off in the first place ?

It's just simple common sense.

surely children should be made aware some individuals are less fortunate in order to grow and develop?

Why ? So the children can laugh and mock the mental/disabled people ?

Of course it's all a matter of choice, I am not forcing anything on you, if you want to take your children up to the caves where these people live - so you can all throw fruit and laugh at them then that is your choice.

i think your children will be in these "little boxes" u speak of...

Not at all, I have four children and I have taught each one of them about these 'things' they sometimes see wheeling about in the street, either under their own one legged power or perhaps in an electric cart of some form, my children all know what these things are. It is not as if I lack compassion or empathy, I have taught them that these things are human just like us, that they have feelings like normal people - and also feel pain, the same as if you stabbed a monkey with a pen - ***but . . . *** that doesn't automatically mean I want them staring in to my £40k car at the traffic lights, discharging various foul smelling liquids and gases (or whatever they do) to spread diseases and so on.

Like, I say, simple common sense.

I pay a lot of money every year in taxes so we can build good prisons and secure hospitals - and yet I am still regularly greeted at the traffic lights by the sight of some one legged (and often single eyed) cyclist, and you are telling me this is right ?
