    Seen him loads of times on the bus, must be in his 40s, I think he is Down Syndrome. Anyway, he has a habit of talking out loud to himself. He must be thinking about the England game and some comments made by a Scots person as he is shouting out stuff like "he's not rubbish, he's from the PL" "but he's only saying it cos he's Scottish" "bonny fvckin Scotland, pfft" over an over. Quality.

    I feel for you. Must be difficult looking down from your ivory tower. You get so offended by anything and everything, always seems to be you. You can't see further than the end of your nose.

    If that makes you feel better about laughing at people with Downs syndrome, terrific. Good for you. Stay classy now.

    And just to clarify as you obviously can't read very well, or are blinded by your need to be pc, where have I stated that I was laughing at him? I was commenting on the situation on the bus, the things he was saying and the atmosphere it was creating, people looking around all shifty, I thought it was quality (including what he was saying).

    Fair enough, I'll leave this conversation now, you take time to get a grip though yeah? I notice you still fail to read the words too, oh dear you are on a mission aren't you.

    I kind of see where your coming from as random public outbursts can be quite amusing but when you broadcast something like that on a social networking site you never know if someone may well have a downe syndrome family member, that been the case then you can understand why someone would get pissed off!!

    Best of keeping such thoughts to yourself old chap!!

    If you make this about me, you don't have to deal with yourself. It's an effective coping strategy. Then you can continue to laugh at people with Downs, and get angry when people don't approve or think it's in good taste. BTW you are laughing at someone with Downs.

    (You will now insist that you're not laughing at the guy with Down, it was contextual, or ironic, or maybe some of your best friends have Downs? Or you do a lot 8f work for charity and so on, and I need to get a grip in my ivory tower, so cool, it's an agree to disagree situation: you think laughing at people with Downs is ok, me not so much)

    Cheerio

    He is laughing at what he is saying, not his condition. There is a massive difference.

    To be fair to ponty, he wasn't laughing at the lad with Down syndrome he was laughing at what he was saying, like it or not I think most of us would have a little chuckle to ourselves if someone was randomly shouting out on the bus, (as long as we arn't sat next to them hehe) there's a big difference in laughing at what the young lad is saying and actually laughing at someone with Down syndrome

    Psychologist too, nice one.

    Did you not see the spate of comedy programmes on tv where they humourised disabilities? It is possible to laugh at situations involving disability without being derogatory, as those programmes, and the people in it proved. I'm wasting my breath I know, I'm scum and should be put down.
