Jehovas?

Thats not that bad of a scots accent.

Sucks though. I couldn't imagine having to live with that.

Aye, it's pretty weak.

Also, this was quite big thing on British TV, especially the follow-up. The fellow got a really hard time, and the last thing he needs is the automaton morons of the internet giggling at a genuinely debilitating condition.
 
Videos like that make me really sad. What the fuck is wrong with the idiot who put it on youtube and found it hilarious and like 200 people who commented and found it funny too. There's nothing funny about neurological disorders and people who live with them.
 
But, it is kind of poignantly pleasing to see him able to make a joke of his condition. I cannot even begin to fathom how difficult that would be to live with.
 
well, it IS funny.

hell, even he was chuckling about some stuff. I've even seen a comedian with Tourette's. people just need a sense of humor. if he didn't want to do the documentary, he didn't have to. if they're showing him talking about the weird things he's done, as well as old video of him doing funny things, as opposed to the more "acceptable" outbursts, then what can they expect? it IS funny.

You know the fact that he laughs at himself doesn't necessarily mean that he thinks it's funny. Medical psychology is really a complex thing with a lot of defence mechanisms. It's sometimes hard to understand people in general, but it's even harder to understand vunerable people.
And also, he probably did the documentary in educational purposes so people would know more about the syndrom and how to treat people who have it. I don't think he did it in pupose to entertain loosers on youtube.
The stuff he yells out may seem funny, I addmit, but with the knowledge of how much this person suffers I just can't laugh at this video.

In other words, waaah. Rather than just believing what he says about his condition, which is probably the least harmful way for him to come to terms with it, let's patronize and pity him for not being perfect like us. He can't possibly be serious when he has a laugh at his own expense, because that's totally not a valid way for people with any problem at all to deal with problems they can't fix, so let's be arrogant and snobby about it because we're sure it'll make him feel better.

Plenty of people deal with serious problems like this, and I can all but guarantee that you're going to piss them off more with patronizing shit like this than by letting them deal with things the way they choose. He knew what would happen when immature people watched, he doesn't need protection from his own free fucking will. Being a pitying, blubbering vagina makes very few people feel better, let him deal with it as he feels he should.

Oh Jesus, I don't even know where to start.

1) I didn't say a word about pitying or patronizing. That's the worst way to treat someone perfect or not perfect. I never said anything about not letting them deal with things the way they choose. Everyone should be let to deal with ther proplems the way they like. All I said is that people shoud be a little more tacful when it comes to dealing with vunerable people.

2) I didn't say anything about not believing what he says about his condition, all I said was that in order to know what he really feels like a conversation is required. You think you know this guy from youtube video? I have news for you: you don't!

3) I'm a med student and I will become a doctor pretty soon. I probably know much more how to treat people with uncurable deseases or ubnormalities than you do. Plus I have more experience than you I had some practice in both neurological and psychiatrical (it's even harder to know what they want here) departments and I must say that I got along with the patients really good. Imporant is to treat them like human beings but really think through what you're going to say and what are you gonna talk about. From what I learned and from my experiences nobody likes to be laught at.

4) "Being a pitying, blubbering vagina makes very few people feel better"

Pitying, blubbering vagina is an inappropriate way to address me and as I said pitying is never my way.

5) Don't fix my spelling again, I'm not a native speaker and I like to have my typos and mistakes not fixed. Thank you.

6) I still can't laugh at the video.

Wow. You could have just as easily made your point without a bunch of unwarranted namecalling. Way to be a dick.

Hurray for uninformed sweeping generalizations!

...but with the knowledge of how much this person suffers I just can't laugh at this video...

This is what I was referring to as patronizing. I hardly see how it's a stretch. I also fail to see how one instance of 'pitying, blubbering vagina' qualifies as 'a bunch of unwarranted namecalling', so way to count to one.

And thats called splitting hairs, calm the fuck down already.
 
Oldest sister gave birth tae a wee bui this morning. His name's Donnie Michael Ross Mackay, and, despite being 5 weeks premature, is of a good weight (5 pounds & 9 ounces) and appears quite content. The only slight obstacle is his inability to eat on his own, thus requiring a tube that'll aid in his sucking strength. Soon enough, he shall hold the bottle/teet mightily, and say, "Fuck yes! This milk's mine, no' yours, cunt!" Aside from that..:kickass: :rock: :kickass:

Fook aye.

The only odd part is becoming an uncle at 17.:erk: Feels weird.
