I am the last person to jump on the PC bandwagon, trust me.<br /><br />However, I was brought up to respect others and both my Mum and Grandma worked with mentally and physically handicapped people.<br /><br />So, from being born to 18 I saw and met these people almost daily, who you claim don't give a rat's behind about it and believe me they do.<br /><br />Flippant comments like that can send someone into a fast downward spiral of depression so please don't dismiss it quite so easily.Andrew Reeveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693106687465032781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545428530989218019.post-47001742085376976542010-10-25T05:54:23.814+01:002010-10-25T05:54:23.814+01:00Oh please.

I'm pretty sure they don't give a rat's behind about it. Neither do I <br /><br />Neither should anyone else.dougfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01204984674967097629noreply@blogger.com
