A touching video, I …
A touching video, I don’t think there was any need to mention a god though. There are many different levels of mental disability involved with Downs, here you are making them all seem like regular people and fail to acknowledge that their condition varies. You have to take the rough with the smooth. Life is not as glossy as the video implies.

Only he knows …
…
Only he knows how to face the future hopefully
Surrounded by despair
He won’t ask for your pity or your sympathy
But surely you should care
Scorn not his simplicity
But rather try to love him all the more
Scorn not his simplicity
Oh no

i sorta feel like …
i sorta feel like most people treat the mentally handicapped the wrong way. they dont need to be babied, they need companions. if anyone has seen “up syndrome” its exactly the way i think the mentally handicapped shout be treated. loved, listened to, treated like they have nothing wrong them. it seems as though people with downs syndrome enjoy being treated as a normal person the most, not like a baby. i may be misunderstood, watch the video up syndrome to kno what kind of relationship i mean.

These people were …
These people were BORN with down syndrome. It’s like being born with your colour of skin, or hair, except Down’s Syndrome is a little more rare. People pick on other’s with Down’s Syndrome to make themselves feel better, it’s exactly the same as racism.
