When most people see or know a mentally disabled child or adult, our hearts and prayers go out to them and their families. But yet, on this site, I've noticed people giving snide or sometimes just downright rude comments to some that are having problems. Even though some of the questions don't measure up to what we would post, why do some people try to discredit or even cause her/him pain with snide or nasty comments, enough to cause her/him to leave the site. Would they treat a child of theirs in a discourteous way if they were having problems? I think not. Care to comment?

Great post. Thanks for standing up to the bullies.
I can not stand bullies, especially when they go after a defenseless person, whether it be here or in reality. What's really disgusting, is these bullies are guys on here. Shame on them, evidently they were raised by wolfs.
Guilty as charged. People come on here asking for advice. Over and over again, good advice is given to them on virtually every occasion yet they fail to follow it. There are only so many times I can listen to that crap before I give them my honest opinion that they are wasting everyone's time. I should just go past those posts, but pandering to that person and telling them what you think they want to hear does them no good.
People can give advice without demeaning or putting that person down. Maybe this site is all they have, why ruin it for them?
I think for some this site is all they have and there is nothing wrong with that one bit in my opinion.
Guess so.
They live for it. It gives them a chance to be nasty.
Well, they came to the right place. We have quite a few bullies here, and I've noticed they are running in packs, typical. But catch one alone and they aren't so tough.
They not only bully the mentally challenged, but lately they have been going after the strong women on this site. lol Guess they can't handle strong women, so they try to bully us. lol News Flash: It isn't working, fellas. lol
A little kindness can go a long way. All we know about each other is what we have wanted to share. Nobody knows the pain and sadness that one has that they hide behind a screen.
Something I don't share is that my 10 year old son is autistic. I can't begin to imagine the world he lives in compared to mine. While we have made major improvements over the years there are still things that are a daily challenge with him. If someone made fun of him or any other person with autism, I would come unglued. Heck to be honest I would probably come unglued is anyone made fun of someone who was mentally disabled or even if they weren't.
I don't get judging someone on their post provided their not harming anyone...who am I to say "Hey you didn't post that like I wanted or I would have" that kinda thinking pisses me off. It should be a site to post and comment how ya want provided it is not hurting someone (bait posts).
I always welcome anyone to comment as often or as much as they feel comfortable sharing. People seriously know how to mess up a good thing around here don't they
🦋
It's just a shame that adults on this site think it's OK to demean others, no matter what. I also have an autistic niece, we love her dearly, and if anyone was to make snide comments about her and what she says, they will answer to me and the rest of the family. She's very precious to us.
Your last sentence....people seriously know how to mess up a good thing around here.... and it's the men who are doing it to a girl. That's really stooping low. Enough to cause her to leave.
I feel like I have totally missed what is going on but nobody should be pushed away like that.
It is very sad the lack of respect people have for others.
I've worked with these so called Christians and nine times out of ten they have been the worst when it comes to speaking out in a very unflattering way. They then say. I'm working for one father. That's total bs.
Exactly, poor excuse for being a Christian in my opinion.
I agree. We all know she has a problem but for those guys to demean and put her down is not acceptable. They wouldn't do that to a person like that in reality, or at least I hope they wouldn't.
What did She do to deserve constant ridicule on most every post She made , if I was her I would of told those who mocked her to "fuck off" but She never did.
I've sat back and bit my Lip for months and months.
I hope you all sleep well tonight because I doubt if Birdy will Bless her , can't you tell when someone isn't well and is Suffering ?
Bullying is a very Ugly quality and you Bullied her off of here , why in the Hell couldn't you stay off her posts ? because you have a Cruel streak , that's why.
(You know who you are)
Thanks Ser. You're right they know who they are, low life scumbags who don't give a damn about other people, just so they can have some fun mocking someone who can't fight back. Bullies are the lowest scumbags alive. Too bad we can't call them out by name, because I would sure do it and let others on this site know who they are.
How can they look their families in the eye after what they did to this sweet girl.
I hope whoever was responsible gets raked over the coals.
This is the reason that some people I have blocked will remain blocked.
We know who they are, they need to be banned from this site permanently.
Yes...This is not the first time...they have victimized many people...it's time they were subject to some discipline.
I could make a post with their names; and maybe ensure that ALL of Amirite would block them.
I wish you could....but they know you can't....they hide behind their computers and dish crap out but they can't take it.
She claimed to be bipolar. She is on welfare of some kind. Perhaps where she lives that is considered a disability.
It is an awful illness, especially when doctors can not even out the mood swings. It can be debilitating to the point that people can't even make simple decisions for themselves.
It's a very serious illness.
And can be a fatal one.
Yes it can, not only to the person but to their entire family.
Yes.
Social media sites, like real life, is populated with hypocrites. People demean other people for the same behavior they exhibit on a regular basis. If a person in mentally challenged, it's often difficult to distinguish them from many others on here. I've seen many, many people on here calling others names, insulting their intelligence etc etc. (Look at the names Trump supporters are called)
While it is sad, what happened, it is also a reflection on the real world. Singling one person out as an unfortunate victim, and talking about how terrible it is, while slamming everyone who doesn't agree with you is just hypocritical.
I offer my apology to ANYONE who can say they haven't done this regularly or at least from time to time. (There are a FEW who have not.)
This post is about the bullies on this site that bullied a mentally challenged girl so badly she deactivated. So don't bring up the politics, she had nothing to do with politics and don't make excuses for those low lifes that did that to her. She did nothing wrong but ask a question.
And speaking of people who have maligned Trump, that's not being hypocritical at all, it's stating the facts. Plus, you might want to check out a poll today that was dissing ALL liberals as being criminals. No one that I know of has ever said such disgusting comments about any Trump supporters.
How the hell does a very serious illness like bi-polar disorder, equate with the name calling on "Trump supporters"?
ROFL.... Going to play the victim card now?
It just his way of diverting the subject of this post. Or trying to bully me.
Bullying is bullying Dru. Either you accept that it's wrong in "all" cases or you defend people to try to bully others when you have a double standard. I just used Trump as an example of how lame it is for people to call one person a vicious bully while they do the same. It don't matter of a person is bi-polar. They might be "challenged" in different areas.
Once again, how can you equate bullying somebody who is sick, with debating one on their politics?
And by the way, you voted in the biggest bully there is.
Sounds like you have a personal problem with anyone who doesn't pander to you Starz. Don't bring up politics? Hell Starz, you try to bully anyone who doesn't agree with you on a daily basis. (And you and everyone else knows it)
Bullying is bullying. It doesn't matter if they are mentally handicapped or not. You come here acting like it's everyone else's fault because someone deactivated. What about all the others who deactivate because they are just tired of listening to all the BS?
As to know one saying such things about trump supporters, shall I repost some of the trash you have posted?
People deactivate for a number of reasons. Listing to hypocrites like you rant on a daily basis is just one.
You like to dish it out but sure can't take it.
