As a business owner I won't fire someone for saying what is on their mind as I believe clearing the air to be quite beneficial. Speaking behind another back only for it too come full circle is a cowards way out.<BR/><BR/>I really don't care how others view me, being "offended" I believe shows a huge weakness in an individual and I have no use or desire to hang out with people like that. NOTHING says you have to listen or even read something you disagree with, so don't play the "offended" card afterwards.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156943875749350309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567970460917774803.post-21261236000777099482008-07-20T20:06:00.000+00:002008-07-20T20:06:00.000+00:00I wouldn't consider speaking what's on your mind a...I wouldn't consider speaking what's on your mind as an admirable trait. People who tend to speak their minds are the ones who offend people, cause trouble and get fired for some of the ridiculous stuff they say. They do nothing more than draw attention to themselves and cause strife among people.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07414055488868565468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567970460917774803.post-17643027975302392022008-07-20T16:21:00.000+00:002008-07-20T16:21:00.000+00:00As for calling your kid a retard I haven't met you...As for calling your kid a retard I haven't met your son but I would bet he isn't any different then my own son at that age.<BR/>Very rarely did we go out when Michael was younger because of the fits that would be thrown if service was lacking in speed. I don't know exactly what your dealing with but I would bet I could come pretty close. You aren't the only one to have problems of this sort and you won't be the last. I've been pretty much in your shoes a little over 18 years ago so I can say been there done that. The thought that yourself or others like you are the first to be dealing with what your dealing with shows a complete lack of knowledge of recent history. Wake up and quit pitying yourself, your son, and your family, it is beneath you. What your dealing with know should make you stronger, it appears it has had the exact opposite effect on you.tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156943875749350309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567970460917774803.post-19826388923122723142008-07-20T15:06:00.000+00:002008-07-20T15:06:00.000+00:00I'm glad too see you think you know so much about ...I'm glad too see you think you know so much about metomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17156943875749350309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567970460917774803.post-67218674980595233442008-07-20T05:26:00.000+00:002008-07-20T05:26:00.000+00:00Tom, you're a complete fool if you think you gain ...Tom, you're a complete fool if you think you gain any credibility with reasonable people if you deny autism exists. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure you would stand right beside the woman who called my kid a retard and said I shouldn't let him out of the house and say what a great thing free speech is but that doesn't make you a good person.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511449647063775820noreply@blogger.com
