Now, I haven't been on this forum for that long, but I think its safe to assume that the large majority of people on here are at least old enough to vote (For the GE not BB) in the UK.

What i'm interested to know is, what part of you thinks that it is acceptable to relay disrespectful comments at a person (Sam) purely on their health?

If some of the derogatory comments I have seen on here had been made by a 12 year old I would just dismiss them as schoolboy silliness. But it seems the vast majority are made by fully grown adults, and this bothers me.

If there was a housemate who was Black, Jewish, Muslim or of any other race/creed/sexuality would you make such low comments based on their history?

The simple fact, is no, because A) it would get you banned instantly, and B) Most probably in trouble with the Law.

What makes it acceptable, to make such comments at Sam and against disability in general?

He is a human being, just the same as you, I and the rest of the HM's and should be treated as such. I've seen some even suggesting that he shouldn't be allowed to take part based purely on his health. This is pure discrimination and should not be allowed, much less even enter the brain of a fully grown adult.

If you cannot come up with an argument that does not involve a person's imperfections, then you have lost the argument before you have even started.
