Show pictures of mongolism and cretinism as examples?????
Let's see. Why don't YOU do your own internet search, learn what these two things are and get your own darned pictures!!! You're sitting there at your computer with the entire world at your fingertips, but yet, you're too lazy to look up this information for yourself. Why is that?

Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical and mental growth due to untreated congenital deficiency of thyroid hormones (hypothyroidism). The term cretin refers to a person so affected. it's not a religion or a creation myth... but of course, your intention was to be as offensive as only an immature child can be... that said, it is likely that YOU arrived via cretinism, as you exhibit certain cretinistic qualities...

The term cretin refers to a person so affected.
