A friend of mine put me onto this, knowing full well I'd be pissed about it! I just wish I'd heard about it sooner! <BR/>I have a 20yr old sister with downsyndrome (i understand thats quite a different disability to the young lads in the film, but in the eyes of most ignorant folk 'it's all the same') & all through our schooling life I fought (physically & verberly) for equality for her & her friends who were picked on by simple minded trash like Mr.Noonan. You only have to walk down the street with her to see the looks/glares, smirks & snide remarks that people give. I'm not just talking kids or teenages, but fully grown adults that should know better. <BR/>A film (if u'd call it that) such as this is mear ammunition for those pathetic souls who are so sad in their own life that they need to laugh at the less funtunate to make them feel better about thier pitiful existence! This monstrosity is no better than the taliban arming children with AK's!<BR/>I would love to see this Mr.Noonan make a film called 'Laughing At Muslims', or as previously stated Aboriginals, & see just how far that would get him! NOWHERE! So why was such a degrading act such as this allowed to be made? <BR/>I believe the ethics committee has alot to answer for, & by shunning the 2 lectures that opposed this, shows they're running scared.<BR/>So those reading this with the power to change these events around, should do so with the knowledge that there are still descent people behind you 100%! Don't just let this fade into the background, make a stand, or your morals are no better than Mr.Noonan's!<BR/>BTW: Don Robes, get on subject!

I'm sure that's right and I've also been advised that this is a very litigious issue, writs could soon be flying all over the place.<BR/>I'm going to take the risk of leaving these comments here, because I think it shows just how inflammatory and personal this issue has become.<BR/>However, I'm turning on the "moderation" button so that I can, in future, check comments on this topic.<BR/>Sorry if that inconveniences anyone, but it's probably necessary.<BR/>If I do choose to delete a post from someone, I'll let them know privately and invite them to resubmit a comment.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08066464417600152977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-463929305486893586.post-44742421493843127552007-06-30T06:49:00.000+12:002007-06-30T06:49:00.000+12:00Interesting comment from Don Robes because many of...Interesting comment from Don Robes because many of us who know Mr Robes are aware of his pathological hatred of heterosexuality. At one meeting, a female participant tried to explain to Mr Robes that an anus was actually much different from a vagina.
