    It seems tourettes doesn't register on brfs moral compass so let's talk about that instead.

    I don't think you're scum. I just thought the anecdote was in poor taste and came over as someone laughing up their sleeve at someone with Downs.

    I've consulted yahoo answers.

    And yes, you want ******* shooting, Rich. In the face. With a water pistol. You tinker.



    But seriously, if someone says summat that amuses me, I may laugh, smirk, smile etc. Whoever says it doesn't come into the equation. I'm laughing/smirking/smiling at whatever they've said. But, each to their own.

    It's not about the disability, it's about the person behind the disability. Some people who suff tourettes might be comfortable with laughing at their condition. Others might really be harmed by other people finding the condition funny. Just because a TV documentary found a group of people with different conditions who could laugh at about it, it doesn't give anyone the right to then say all tourettes suffers are cool with us all having a good laugh at the condition.

    There are circumstances where the whole situation is so abstract that you can't avoid seeing humour in it - a nervous response can be laughter - it's just involuntary, nobody can judge that. It is what it is.

    Let's just agree to disagree. You've put your slant on it very clearly, I've put mine.

    I defy anyone to watch the guy with torrettes singing angels and not laugh, ( it hilarious and yes I would have laughed at the guy on the bus with or without downs) but there again I haven't got a p.c. rod rammed right up my trumpet and feel the need to criticise everyone that hasn't
    got the same view as me

    I notice everyone seems to want to ignore the real crime here.
    The man was apparently shouting racial abuse about the Scots.
    This is imo not acceptable in the day and age of zero tollerence.

    Ponty 72 -- The question is why did you feel it necessary to mention that this man has Downs Syndrome?

    Don't know, as an explanation of why he was shouting out? Is there any reason why I shouldn't mention it? Too late for an argument anyway so I'll just say meh to whatever your point is.
