Simple points well made!

By the way, I made a point of thanking you re. your comment on my post re. “Do you want an end to US Domination” sent by you on Nov 24th at 9.33pm. As I said I am always thankful for any response.
We all have something to say, otherwise none of us would be entering comment of any type here. So when someone credits someone and wishes to offer nothing further from their side, it is most gratifying, because we’re all champing at the bit and straining at the leash to offer our prose in some way. So if a subject and topic can be summed up to another’s complete satisfaction, then the effort has been well made, and there is a purpose to all our writings here. Look forward to reading your other posts on the blog. Thank you.

I wish America a positive and fruitful future which becomes a country to be looked upon with respect and admiration as it has been in past times,

At last South Africa is waking up to its responsibilities, and the rest of the African Nations?. What about you?.

The main resources needed are love and compassion.

These can be found in rich and poor, left and right, religious and non-religious people.

I did not say that everyone “needed” a child with downs syndrome. I said that it was great that people were being parents to the children they created.

I was disgusted at your post and I felt ashamed for you or anyone that would have such a view; I wasn’t playing any card. I am still disgusted by it. As a matter of fact, the fact that you refuse to see the ignorance of your statement disgusts me even more.

As for saying I am a woman who has children and wishes she had made better choices~obviously, you are sticking your foot in it.

Have a nice evening.

Is there a magical mystery bus to nowhere for kids no one wants? That sounds like the same bandwagon currently taking on passengers to the “bridge to nowhere”. You sound like a woman who has children and wishes she had made better choices, but, because you did not, you now tout the “chin up” mentality and get upset when people remind you.

I meant you and your brother no disrespect. It is however extremely ignorant to assume that everyone needs to have a special needs child, even if they cannot afford it and or the time it takes to manage a child with special needs. It is easy to assume that a child is a person from the moment of conception and thereby abortion is murder. I beg to differ and so does science.What I find most disturbing about people who believe otherwise is that they cry “MURDER!”, but support putting violent criminals and terrorists to death and support sending their children to war so that they can murder “enemys” of democracy. I see this as the problem, not that people are born with Downs. If you think it would be fine raise a whole generation of mentally handicapped people just so you could say that you did the right thing in the eyes of god or whatever rationale diverts your connection to reality, then I hope you enjoy your fantasy. I can assure you that there are many who are currently suffering because of it.
It infuriates me to no end, the people that feel they gain some validity to their lackluster lives by giving it over to a pregnancy that the world does not need. If you want to help a child go adopt a village of orphans, left destitute by war (with this country) and famine from overpopulation and chaos. Don’t play the moral card of ” you should be ashamed”. I am ashamed that you and people like you, in the 21st century and not the middle ages, truly think that they are right.

I never once mentioned religion. Take it elsewhere.
