Back in November of 2009 Shamae published a letter that was written in her local paper.  The letter, which you can read here, was a complaint directed at a family whose little boy injected himself with something while eating at Burger King.

On January 5th 2010 Kelly shared on her blog an situation that she experienced while at the gym.

Both situations are different but still somewhat similar.  So I’m going to address them both at the same time.

clearing of throat…..

Dear Idiot 1 and Idiot 2,

How dare you?  Do you have any idea how ridiculous you are?  Have you no shame?

Both of you talked about sanitary conditions…. excuse me?  Idiot 2, you are in a public establishment coughing up a lung, not covering your mouth… putting all those germs in the air for others to breath… yes that’s very sanitary.  Idiot 1, that applies to you to.  How can you even suggest that this little boy gives himself an injection in a public bathroom?  Come on!

Idiot 2 have some respect.  Mind your own freaking business.  It’s a good thing that you have no decision power.  Because based on your comment, if you had a choice, you would make all diabetic people go to the emergency room when they need to check their blood sugar?  WOW!  Maybe you should make a visit to the emergency room…. maybe they have some common sense that they can transplant into you!  Alright idiot 1, go away, I’m done with you!

Idiot 2 however I am not done with you…. not by a long shot.  You said “That sort of business should be done in private. How about a little respect for those around you” So if in your opinion this “sort of business” should be done in private does that mean that a diabetic should never be allowed in public?  Because I mean diabetes is unpredictable… there is no set schedule, no map.  Things happen that requires a diabetic to either check his/her blood sugar and/or inject insulin.

Actually I have one better for you…. would you be more comfortable if we had a “special place” just for diabetics?  Would it make you feel better if you didn’t have to share a space with them?  You know this reminds me of something…. can’t quite put my finger on it yet oh well….

You also said “ …..you have no idea how something like that can affect people. People go through a lot in their life and things like that may bring up certain feelings and memories best forgotten”  Wow you have feelings?  You could have fooled me.  You sure as hell don’t act like somebody who has feelings.  Oh I’m sorry getting off track here.  You are right, we don’t know what people go through in life.  Just like you don’t know what this family goes through EVERY SINGLE DAY!  I do and I can tell you that it’s not fun.  So shut the hell up!  If watching a little boy inject himself with insulin to stay alive offends you that much or brings back that many painful memories do you know what?  Seek professional help.

Would you have felt the same way if it would have been a cancer patient who had no hair because of chemotherapy treatments?  What about a person with Parkinson disease?  Would you have felt the same way?  Or maybe somebody in a wheel chair…. I’m sure that would have offended you or your girlfriend.  If not you then maybe it would have offended somebody else right?

So ok, maybe then we should make sure that the diabetics stay in their own “special space” and then, we can send the cancer patients to another “special space” and then we will have a “special space” for people who suffer from Parkinson disease, and then….. WOW you see how quickly this gets…. oh wait I will let Titus finish that sentence for me….. it’s called segregation!  It was banned in the US in the 1960s.

Wait a minute…. how did Hitler get started?  What was he trying to do?

You know Mr. Barber…. I mean idiot 1 if it was your daughter or your son, you would change your tune very quickly.  Actually I really hope that you and girlfriend never reproduce.  I wouldn’t want another human being having your values.

So in closing…. Idiot 1 and Idiot 2 you both make me sick.  You are both sorry excuses for human beings.  You have no compassion.  You should be on your knees begging for forgiveness from the people that you have wronged.  Please educate yourself in 2010!

To the people who stood up to those bullies…. thank you!  From the bottom of my heart thank you!  Because of your actions hopefully my son won’t have to deal with too many idiots when he grows up!
