but what are they going to do in the real world when they don't have paras anymore?
One guy at my works in the cafeteria at my school, and he is challenged. He just unpacks fries and chicken and stuff. It's emplyement, butI also realize that some people aren't as high functioning as that guy. My cousin has a deficiency, she can still speak, but has a limited intelligence. She can't work because she is confined to a wheel chair, so my aunt and uncle have to pay for her stay at a home. She is actually nice, and you can have conversations and stuff with her, it's just feels more awkward; the more you talk to her the easier it is. Another girl that went to my elementary school and was severely challenged. She couldn't walk, talk or think. Our school spent large amounts of our resources on her, so badly that one year they had the entire class share tattered math and spelling texts so they could finance a brain cell shock therapy thing that did jack for her. Each situation has to be treated differently, you can't generalize that all retards shouldn't/shouldn't be helped. As humans we are only as good as our weakest link, and so we have to help those weakest links as much as we can, but then there are the links that are beyond repair, and you just have break them off and replace them, but not in the whole kill/destroy/ignore sense, we should be helping those who can be helped, and tolerating those who can't.
bye.
