Draker Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Someone posting a cartoon making fun of Autism upsets me. It should upset you also. I thought even this group was above that. I'll remove myself from it. Make calling or stuff like this is not acceptable. Right there with ya man! 1 Link to comment
racerx Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 As Flow of Foreign Students Wanes, U.S. Universities Feel the Sting Just as many universities believed that the financial wreckage left by the 2008 recession was behind them, campuses across the country have been forced to make new rounds of cuts, this time brought on, in large part, by a loss of international students. Schools in the Midwest have been particularly hard hit — many of them non-flagship public universities that had come to rely heavily on tuition from foreign students, who generally pay more than in-state students. The downturn follows a decade of explosive growth in foreign student enrollment, which now tops 1 million at United States colleges and educational training programs, and supplies $39 billion in revenue. International enrollment began to flatten in 2016, partly because of changing conditions abroad and the increasing lure of schools in Canada, Australia and other English-speaking countries. And since President Trump was elected, college administrators say, his rhetoric and more restrictive views on immigration have made the United States even less attractive to international students. The Trump administration is more closely scrutinizing visa applications, indefinitely banning travel from some countries and making it harder for foreign students to remain in the United States after graduation. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/02/us/international-enrollment-drop.html ...yep, so that they can enroll on Trump U.

I'll remove myself from it. The absolute lowest demographic of society laughs at shit like that. I do believe you are correct, in that we are above that. Making fun of Autism, and suicide without even a clever edge to the humor... Just odd that pixels were wasted on that. 3 Link to comment

FWIW, I let shit like the cartoon post go through to the keeper as I know it’s not a direct slight on me, or my baby girl. Direct attacks; god help the OP! 3 Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Hey Josh, don't leave over this stupid thread. Not a stupid thread; see my (sincere and genuine) post above. 2 Link to comment
paradime Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 So you are for country wide voter ID then?? Guilt card my dick ,, i simply wanted to prove ( which i did) people that aren't WHITE can do things as easily as you much more socially advanced peoples can.. Guilt card : Is that like you saying over and over we should forgive your horrific spelling cuz "i got a disability" said in the whiniest voice possibile ?? Or is it just because i pointed out you're a closet racist,, so it's the only way to save face? Thanks for cleering that up cheaf :lol: :fu: For future reference I don't identify myself a "native American" i am an American Indian ,,, because none of my family has ever chased Gilligan around no fucking island . Much to member Scalpum's irritation, i might add So by "Indian" you meen you identify as Indian? Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 This is unclear what's being said so take offense. This is hilarious and leaves nothing to the imagination.... no one cares. 1 Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm sure everyone is on the autism spectrum, it's such a broad generalisation it loses some of it's significance. It's a damn cartoon about sillary not autism, life is too short to let dumb shit on the internet effect you life. 1 Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 You're GD right. The bar gets lowered every year. EVERYONE is different and learns at different rates. 1 Link to comment
Josh K. Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 You guys are really showing your ignorance on the subject. It's not about learning at a different rate. Maybe if you understood more about it then you would understand it's not a joke. If anyone wants to come have a good laugh about Autism I'll be at Canby this year. I stand by my original statement. If I was in a.d._510_n_ok's trailer park (I never would be) and he made a joke about Autism I would've punched his mouth. I don't say shit on the internet that I wouldn't say in the real world. Have a good time spamming. I got shit to handle. Later. 1 Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Making an issue out of a non issue. Not about autism, it's about thin skins. THAT.... is the funny part. 2 Link to comment
Josh K. Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 You said the bar gets lowered every year. That is an ignorant statement. Autism diagnosis is not "lowering the bar". It's a real thing. I knew my son had Autism at 8 months old. It's not rocket science. Anyways, I wasn't looking to take over this thread. I merely wanted to get the point across that you shouldn't be making fun of people's disabilities. People think they have can hide behind a keyboard but as you can see I use my real name. I don't hide. A real man would've apologized for offending someone. That's what I would've done. But I ain't a welfare collecting, trailer park living, low life troll like a.d.whoever the fuck he is. I count my blessings my son is barely on the spectrum. Lots of other children aren't and their parents live a hellish life sacrificing for their children. Feel free to ban me for threatening violence. You'd be doing me a favor at this point. Link to comment
racerx Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Having an autistic child or children can be so stressful. I knew someone who had 3 autistic children and their pizzas had to have so many pepperonis and had to be a certain color or else his kids would get bent out of shape. I feel for those have to go through this. Everyday we need to count our blessings. 3 Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted January 10, 2018 Report Share Posted January 10, 2018 Meh,, So your going to come to can by just to posture and hope to get in s fight?? Really ?? Maybe if your weren't so standoffish and actually came to a LOCAL event even once (some of which were very near your stated location at time) you would have met some members kids with disability that they have to drag around with them cuz wife went shopping and they don't hide them from the world. But keep on keeping on there Rocky. Link to comment
