I would never laugh at someone who has an abnormality. Just like you, I cannot stand people who make fun of others who have health issues. It could be any health issue, physical or mental. They don't realize how difficult it must be for the person with the problem to lead every single day of their life like that. People who laugh are highly insensitive and don't realize one thing. If they meet with an accident, they may suffer in the same way.

There is no way that I would laugh at them. They should be admired for making it through the day. My son is handicapped and to see what he goes through everyday, I do not think I could deal with it. It takes so much more for him to do the things we take for granted.

I have only one thing to say to that, what goes around comes around! The person laughing at a person with disability may some day find himself/herself with a disability, then they will see how funny it is.

Never! That is a no-no for me. Handicapped people should not be laughed at nor they should be treated like they are abnormal people. They should be treated like any normal people are treated. They may look like different in our eyes, but they have their own, unique ability on how to go about their way of living. We should learn to respect that and not laugh at them.
Let us just put it this way, how will you feel if you are the one with the abnormalities and everywhere you go, people stare and laugh at you? I'm sure you will also feel hurt and disrespected. Let us practice the golden rule-"don't do unto others what you don't want to be done to you". I hope I was able to get the message across.

be it handicapped (better term would be the differently abled ones) or otherwise..i simply hate people who make fun of others.life has been unfair to them but instead of making things easier for them we tend to make them difficult with our cynical view and prejudices.its bad.a few days ago i was watching the auditions of a dance reality show where a dancer with short arms by birth had wonderfully danced to the tune.in fact he did some great foot works but i was just taken aback by the mentors and judges of the show who were rude enough to tell that he should be realising the truth that he isn't a match for such a challenging competition.they simply downplayed his self esteem.which was too bad indeed.i was just thinking that they were simply trying to put their naivety at handling such differently abled people on that unfortunate dancer who i was sure if given a chance would have fulfilled his life's dream of dancing on a big platform.instead they made him feel good for nothing.it was pathetic..masses need to get sensitised on disability issues

No, I never laugh nor pity and their is nothing to laugh on one imperfection as one goes to oneself if others look down on you it is not a good feeling. Isn't it? So imagine being on their own shoes it hurt being the object of laughter, being ridicule for something which is not your fault. Sometimes, people becomes handicapped fall as the victim of recklessness of other people wickedness and neglect, some are inborn. They too have feeling and know to be hurt, sad or joy. I must say they need respect and the same thing should be given to everyone.

i would never laugh at a disabled person,it's just plain cruel,they are still people who have feelings,just because they have a disability doesn't mean they don't understand

No I would never laugh at someone like that.
And hope people wouldn't me if something was to happen to me some day down the road.
That is awful and wrong.
But the people that makes fun of people like that will have to pay for it in the end I believe.

hi jemaries, i am not one of them laughing at handicapped, they are too rude laughing at handicapped people. the handicapped people are the ones that should be cared about in this society, we should give them a hand if in need when they pass by in front of us, but not laughing. but there are no alduts i have seen laughing at handicapped, but children did this.

I would never laugh at anyone with abnormalities and I think it is totally disgusting to do so.If the person has been unfortunate enough to be born with abnormalities, You should always remember that you are so lucky not to have been born with something wrong with you.Besides which, a lot of handicapped people show great courage in dealing with their handicaps and can often put able-bodied people to shame with their spirit and fortitude
