  Flaws & Fame: Susan Boyle vs. French Elle Magazine

  Thanks. As a parent of a child with a disability and as a disability advocate, I too wonder why Susan Boyle needed an amazing talent for the world to accept her. When people can accept the beauty of a person regardless of their looks or abilities, but rather for the core of who they are inside, we'll be a much better, happier, more peacful society.

  Is Your Chicken Sandwich Homophobic?

  May I gently point out that your desire to treat all people equally is not reflected in your choice of words. To call something that you think is stupid and ignorant "retarded" is like a knife in the gut to people with intellectual disabilities and those who love them. Retarded just means slowed, but it's come to represent the most rejected and undesirable trait you can think of to describe something you disagree with. For people with disabilities, it's like any ethnic or racial slur. Please extend your Christian love and think of another word.
