My moral dilemma...
I’ve got a moral dilemma. I love to make fun of people. No, that’s not my dilemma. I’m OK with that. Here is where the dilemma comes in… I think it is perfectly acceptable to make fun of and ridicule stupid people that do stupid things. The guy that cuts out into traffic without even looking. The woman that doesn’t know which side of her car the fuel nozzle goes into. The jerk that goes into the 10 items or less aisle with 15 items. These people are all fair game to verbally abuse either quietly or out loud at your discretion. On the flip side, the man that is mentally handicapped and doesn’t know how to order his lunch is off limits. I have a strict policy of not making fun of people with disabilities either physical or mental. The problem is that I suspect that some people fall into a gray area. For instance, perhaps the woman that is too stupid to realize that she fuels up on the driver side of her car may have been born with a slight brain defect that prohibits her from normal behavior in some circumstances, but otherwise, she appears normal. I think that maybe a low IQ of any kind could be considered a mental handicap. The problem all began with people labeling every issue as a disorder like ADD or Restless Leg Syndrome. Now, even if you are just slight of brain you can be diagnosed with a disorder. Remember when Winnie the Pooh was a bear of very little brain and that was just the way it was? Pooh was never diagnosed with a disorder and prescribed meds to mitigate his problems (although I suspect all of that honey was actually self medicating.) I liked it better when there was a very clear line in the sand; these people are mentally retarded and these other people are just morons. It made the picking of targets of ridicule much easier. Please, someone help me to find the line in this large area of gray… I need to know which people to harass…
