What makes me laugh?....Things that don't poke fun at people, or abuse someone who fought so damned hard to get her life back..I guess.

So, are racist jokes OK, then?

Is it OK to poke fun at autistic kids, dyslexic kids, hohohohoho oh?

After all, they're all 'just a bit of fun', huh?

Sorry, there are some things that are funny and some that are not.

The feminists won't let you 'make fun' of women.....not even allowed to call the Girlies any more, as this is apparently 'disrespectful'....but folks are saying that it's OK to laugh at someone who, quite literally, amazed the world with what she achieved?

I dunno, maybe it's me. Maybe I need to lighten up a bit and start cracking jokes about the folk up the road from me, all of whom have learning difficulties...or the folk next door to me, all of whom have severe autism difficulties....I mean..,,maybe I should be laughing out loud about them, telling people on the bus....

Or maybe I should be thinking that there but for the Grace of God go I, and when the young girl next door is screaming her head off, so deeply distressed that no-one can reach her, maybe I should be thinking, "Geez, poor young girl, to be trapped inside so deeply, in a place where no-one can help, no-one can reach you..."

I don't think she deserves to be laughed about. I think she deserves admiration for still being alive. I think she deserves compassion, kindness and sympathy....and as much help as those who nurse her are able to give her....

And I think that Helen Keller was a truly Magnificent woman.
