Thats still not at all what I was trying to explain to you. And I'm done with arguing over the internet. Its stupid, and again, I have no problem with the mentally disabled. I've never been one to laugh at them, or even treat them as though they do have a problem. Its labels that I have an issue with, and like I stated above, I really don't like when people are quick to put a label on someone over something as small as learning things at a slower pace. And it almost seems as though thats what you and your teachers(or whoever) are doing. I would never jump to call someone(animals included), retarded for learning at a slower pace. To diagnose retardation, it needs to meet the criteria of many other things to be confirmed. And you have no idea who I am, and I have no idea who you are. And yes, I actually know somebody who has a daughter who has mental retardation. I've known her my entire life, and she's currently 42 years old. I've never treated her any different from anybody else. To me, she's still human like all of us.
As much as I still really want you to understand what I was trying to say, I'm not gonna pick at this anymore. I'm sorry if my first post appeared as though I was attacking you. Maybe somewhere I did misunderstand you, but I think you've misunderstood me too. It would be pointless for me to argue with someone online, especially when I don't even know you, so... moving on.
Is it normal we think we adopted a retarded dog ?
