shut up big kids are talking okay take your moral outrage elsewhere love
I hope the book being thrown is the biggest encyclopedia ever.I think you'll find that she'll have the book thrown at her.
I cannot understand individuals with such complete lack of compassion...just can't.Don't know if this has been posted so here it is;
A MOTHER who shouted at her daughter to hit and kick a disabled teenage girl and then posted footage of the attack on MySpace has pleaded guilty.
The woman admitted to her role in the 30-minute attack in Melbourne in January that left the girl with 38 bruises, including a closed eye and scratches to her face and body.
The mother, from St Albans, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, pleaded guilty in the Sunshine Magistrates Court to affray and recklessly causing serious injury to the 16-year-old victim, who is developmentally delayed.
The girl was unable to stand up by herself after the attack and had to be treated in the Royal Children's Hospital.
Police alleged at an earlier hearing that her wallet and mobile phone were also taken during the assault.
Constable Kevin Squires said at that hearing a group of teenagers devised a plan to get the girl to a house saying they would be her friend if she came.
The court heard the group then took the girl to a nearby park and two of the teenagers began attacking her.
Const Squires said the mother laughed and encouraged the attack, telling her daughter things like: "Hit her, hit her harder," "I taught you better than that" and "hit her like your dad would".
He said the mother also gave the daughter tips on how to kick the girl harder and laughed.
The mother was bailed to appear in the Victorian County Court on December 1 for a pre-sentence hearing.

Discuss.
Pain and suffering are very basic feelings, and "processing information" has little to do with experiencing them. It would be my thesis that, if anything, a lack of "processing" abilities would enhance rather than diminish said person's suffering. Why would confusion do anything but make the experience even worse?what do youy have to support that statement?
We know developmentally challenged ppl can't process information as well as others. Being bashed, and pain, is a form of information. Hence, they suffer less.
That's me thesis, what's yours?
Guy, what you're saying makes no sense. Pain and suffering and processed in the brain like any other piece of information. Pain IS information. Suffering IS information. A quadraplegic has problems in the superhighway from the limb to the brain, and hence they cannot experience pain. I hypothesise that an individual whose development has been retarded from the normal, God prescribed direction, cannot experience suffering and pain to the same extent that we can because their information processing unit, the brain, is not as developed as ours.TullyB said:Pain and suffering are very basic feelings, and "processing information" has little to do with experiencing them.

I've got to say, Mr Prime Minister, that I think you're looking at this too simplistically. Can't you see where I'm coming from when I say that if their inability to process information would making suffering wourse, even if suffering is, as you say, a form of information? I think the key word here is form. Yes, all aspects of the brain are inextricably linked as you say here:Guy, what you're saying makes no sense.

If you didn't have a brain, you wouldn't be able to suffer. Retarded people, animals, and cheese have lesser brains than we do, and hence it is not a leap to suggest that they cannot process information such as pain and suffering as well as we normal, acceptable citizens can.
but, if anything, I would say that this supports my argument. Isn't it possible that a diminished capacity in one part of the brain, instead of simply diminishing all parts, has adverse effects on them? One of these effects, I propose, would be an enhanced sense of suffering/pain in such situations as these, due to (mainly) the confusion felt by said sufferer.The brain in inexplicorably linked!
Ok I'm beginning to see His point. Why should people be punished for playing with their food?Retarded people, animals, and cheese have lesser brains than we do, and hence it is not a leap to suggest that they cannot process information such as pain and suffering as well as we normal, acceptable citizens can.
Hahaha *sighs*. Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy, when will you learn?Were you guys crippled from birth, or did you become crippled in an accident like that b-b-butthole christopher r-reeve?
