You think there should be no consequences for menacing a child? freshwest Aug 2013 #15

Mocking a child, ohheckyeah Aug 2013 #17

I don't want a man with contempt for those with disabilities working with people with disabilities. backscatter712 Aug 2013 #22

sometimes people commit suicide because others make fun of them. liberal_at_heart Aug 2013 #26

OK. Say DUers mocked a teabagger with a stupid sign, and he killed himself as a result. Nye Bevan Aug 2013 #28
