Seasons

I got one of the good library computers today, but it´s the one with the Spanish keyboard. I´m not familiar with the layout and I keep making typos.

Mr. Crab: good point. They weren't paying me. It was the government.

I hung out with retarded/autistic people at their small, usually part-time jobs for one of two reasons: they had the minds of small children, or they had a history of criminal violence. Injuring people to the point of hospitalization, raping anything on two legs, that sort of thing. Why the second category wasn't locked up for the rest of their natural lives is beyond me.

Yeah, they were consumers. But I still don't like that term. It makes them sound like savvy customers checking Consumer Reports, Epinions, etc. before they buy. It would mean they had the power.

Well what you call retarded people is hardly the peak of the problems of political correctness.

Yes, those aren't really consumers, but we have a very adequate phrase for them: welfare recipients. Though I agree with you, someone who poses an imminent danger to those around him needs to be isolated.

There's a difference between retards & welfare recipients. A welfare recipient can eventually get a job and be useful to society, whereas a retard will always be a retard. And actually, most retards aren't technically on welfare, they're on SSI (i.e. disability).

Maybe if I show Bush my website, I can get on disability.

I always thought of welfare recipients as anyone who gets money from the public but is not employed by it.

Could somebody please tell me what my jaw is connected to?

to your skull by way of your temporo-mandibular joint (or something like that.

isn't there a famous story about a man who killed himself because he found out he couldn't move his upper jaw?

I CAN'T FEEL MY TOENAILS!

are you sure you really have toenails?

Are you sure you even exist at all?
