2003 "Special" Olympics Ireland

[Saoirse]

If Hitler had won the war, there wouldnt be this nonsense. When will people see that retards have no reason to live? They should take the special label away from them. There just a waste of life.

I doubt you would be saying that if you had a retarded sibling. I completly agree that the Special Olympics are stupid. My older brother had mental problems, yet he was extremley good at mathmatics. If you actually knew a retarded person, you would realize that although they have often severe problems, they are just as "human" as you inside.

[Stríbog]

If Hitler had won the war, Slavs would be treated as subhuman, gun control would be in force throughout Europe, it would be illegal to criticize the state, etc.
Why should it be up to you whether retarded people live or die? Where do you draw the line? At some arbitrary IQ score? There are quite a few people with mental handicaps that excel at certain skills, as Premisyl said.

[Evolved]

People with mental handicaps can still contribute to society and live normal lives. Those with congenital disorders (such as Down Syndrome) should be encouraged to have themselves sterilized. Mentally handicapped women are frequently taken advantage of and are easy targets for sex criminals.

What about people with acquired mental handicaps, and the physically handicapped? Should they be euthanized? Josef Goebbels was a "cripple."

I don't think the Third Reich is any sort of model society to look up to, where everyone was expected to look alike, think alike, put all their faith in the government and worship some backwoods hillbilly with one ball and his menagerie of deranged, drug-addicted occultist buddies. :eek:

Let's imagine that someone evil and heartless had kidnapped you, tortured you, and made sure you will never have full use of your brain and body by pounding your head and spine repeatedly with a very hard, concrete-like hammer. As a consequence of that person's actions, you will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of your miserable life. Now imagine, once more, that some mindless dolt came up to you and said that people like you should never be allowed to live, proclaiming with an extra opinion that you were a waste of "precious" tax dollars and so on. eyes:

Don't be so quick and eager, god forbid, to rule out who should die and who should live. Anything that comes around will go around.

This is all I can say..... eyes:



No I don't think they should be killed once they are older, but as babies yes it's a good idea, suppose such a tragedy should occur, next life they can come back as a healthy human being.

But this should be prevented in the first place by the use of eugenics. If there were an all white country I hope they would take measures against this sort of tragedy from happening at all. I also think these kind of people shouldn't go to school with normal kids it only scares the normal kids and taumatizes the crippled ones and it disrupts the education of all involved.

It's a taboo subject in Ireland too.There's nothing to be gained by belittling them but there's something wrong with raising mediocrity up to public acclaim.Ireland has 4 times more 'special' athletes participating in these games compared to Sydney.

Recently a well-known concert promoter said the whole thing was being used as a PR vehicle by discredited businessmen and politicians.He was howled at by the usual mob.

Forget if Hitler had won the war, because nobody can really judge they can only do 'what ifs'!

Lets look at the forests of Germarnia and the old pagan strength! If a man had the capacity to survive and breed he would live on, if not he would die. These retarded people are not mentally handicapped, mentally handicapped people are eccentric, delusional and see things in a differing way to others.

You are mixing Down syndrome with the inner struggle of many pure Aryans. A down syndrome child's D.N.A is very different to a normal human being despite being born of a normal human, the people that will be in this special Olympics will not be human, they are the ultimate expression of the lower man, they are more close to dogs than human.

Yet as the higher men and as many of these childlike creatures are born of our women it is our duty to look after them as long as we have the capacity to look after the superior stock we have. Thus I would not call such an Olympics stupid, I would applaud it! There is a place for these mentally handicapped creatures in our future utopias as long as valuable blood is not threatened by it! To say something is a waste of life is laughable that is the format in which the life takes, that life is at it's apex.

I did not mean that the outcome of WW2 was preferable to an Axis victory. My point was that the National Socialist state and philosophy certainly had its flaws and that people should not blindly look to it for guidance on every issue that arises.

[Scáthach]

yes its pointless but so are a lot of things.i dont think disabled people are conducive to a state but i couldnt kill one because they have physical problems beyond their control.
who's to say any of us wont get in an accident and be confined to a wheelchair someday?
regardless the hings that annoying me about the special olypmics is that since the 'atheletes' are staying in host towns its not bringing in a lot of money to the country,yep its what makes the world go round afterall.....
