I guess I'm confused. How can a video of someone being mutilated be any more offensive or inappropriate than a photo of a group of unfortunates (Downs Syndrome children, to be exact) portrayed in a manner making fun of their affliction?
I can remember when a certain board owner was big-time offended when some twit posted a photo of said board owner's daughter with the face of a Down's Syndrome victim superimposed.
Before anyone accuses me of being a puritan, understand that nothing could be further from the truth. I have spent most of my adult life looking at torn and broken bodies. But the one thing that can still bring a tear to my eye is a handicapped person; especially a child. Instead of making light of this, each one of us not so afflicted should be grateful for that fact.
IOW, that photo of "the Atlanta Smackdown crew" (give me a break!) offended and pissed me off big time. But I didn't whine about it in a self-righteous manner, and am not trying to do so now. I'm just a bit surprised at what is, and is not, "appropriate" these days...
There are too many weirdos on the internet these days. I wasn't sure what would happen if I clicked on it! I was just imagining the ground falling out right below me and me being sent straight to hell!
Nice of you to apologize Turbo.
Happy flying,
Brooks
