not funny

I get sensitive around "jokes" about the "retarded." My brother is developmentally disabled, and I always find myself taking things like this very personally. I guess maybe it's less "not funny" and more in bad taste, at least to me. If I had a flame-thrower, I'd think quite seriously about taking it out, leveling it, and incinerating your post, but in the end I'd swing it back and realize that it's not worth it. Sometimes I wonder if I might have some roots in Belgium…

I had a Belgian professor once that explained to us that he may not be quick to offer praise or criticism, following in the great tradition of the Belgian man who loved his wife so much that one day, he almost told her.
