Maybe you should bring your girlfriend to that movie Ringer with the guy from Jackass who pretends to be retarded so he can win the special olympics. Besides that, I do think it is wrong to laugh at peopel with disabilities, unless it is on the Howard Stern show.

Personally from having a child with a form of mental retardation (Down Syndrome) I am totally disgusted that people are still that ignorant and cruel to act in such a way. Try explaining to your child why people call them names and make fun of them. I think the word "retard" is totally offensive and to hear of people still so IGNORANT that they feed off of people that may be a little slower than them. It is always a child before that disability, and maybe if the people in the world that constantly ridicule and tease the most innocent and pure souls created would ever have to deal with a person hands on. ie...someone in their family or one of their children, or just witnessing how wonderful they are, then only then could the dipwads in this world leave that word out of their vocabulary except in its original context. It's like calling someone with impentigo a leper. People are people and people have feelings no matter what their handicap. Think about that and think about how loosely you'd say the word retard if a disability came directly into your life and just how hurtful that word can be.
A voice for my child, and a
mother fed up with ignorance.

First, you should use the spell checker. They are not "retarted" people, they are "retarded". They can't help the way they are and yes, it is wrong to laugh at them. I'm sure you are an absolutely perfect human being with no flaws of any kind so you naturally feel righteous about laughing at the imperfect, but no matter what, IT IS WRONG!
I'm laughing at you right now because you post and can't even spell! LOL LOL LOL!

I don't think it's right to make fun of people with disorders. I look at it this way, lets say 1 in every 100 persons are to be retarded, well I see it as that one person helped and made it so that the other 99 wouldn't have to be retarded. I think she was right to be upset because alot of families have some people that have a disorder. How would you like it if your mom or sister was retarded and people made fun of her?

what in the hell is a grope"? I think that if you are that immature to hang out with people who are going to make fun of someone that is less fortunate then you, then you need a good kick in the a$$, get a life and grow the *** up. I think youneed to maybe take some classs to help you with your grammar. I bet those people that you were making fun of can spell a hell of alot better then you.

You should actually be ashamed of yourself making fun of people that are different. You were not laughing with them, you were laughing at them.
I hope someday, when you grow-up and have children that they are born without mental defects.

First of use spell check before you type. Second, it doesn't matter if you make fun of them or not. If you feel bad about it afterwards, then yeah it's wrong, if you don't, then it's ok. Who cares what others think, they don't think for you, or do they?

it's not fair because they don't make fun of you. i'm not trying to be mean or anything but they don't the have the capability to understand that they act that way and they can't stop it.. so if you were that way would you like people to laugh at you?

No its not fair or funny or even amuzing. making fun of someones handicap. not any more funny than tripping your own grandmother and laughing when her hip breaks.
Kudos for your girlfriend for getting upset
you were so wrong
