To clarify a bit, there weren't really any special ed classes. I took normal classes like everyone else. Some of the others were integrated into the more open courses, doing pretty remedial work, and had assistants to help them. While I did as well, most of the time, I didn't even need them. They were just there so I could have someone to talk to, I guess. I don't think there were any classes that were exclusively special ed, per se, but the spergs and autists all hung out in this one special ed area during their offtime, I guess.

On a side note, I should mention, I met Jess Harnell (Wakko Warner) at Fan Expo Canada yesterday. I got him to sign my Animaniacs Volume 4 DVD, and I told him how Baloney and Kids was my personal favourite episode because of how it resonated so well with me and helped me out through some VERY dark times in high school...like we're pretty much talking pretty much every weeknight during my senior year.
He's a compulsive liar in order to get people to join in his crusade. He went from being forced to watching Barney like Alex from A Clockwork Orange to what we know about it now. Which is basically nothing but him being upset severely mentally disabled people like what he doesn't.
Dude. DUDE. You're wishing genocide against a bunch of kids who can't even talk. I know Nazi comparisons are passe, but seriously, do you not see how bad that makes you look?
Those kids were probably miserable. If there's something in life that gives them joy, even if it's retarded, I think they should be allowed to have it.
One 'agree' is not nearly enough. People with mental illnesses and disabilities should be taught that the best they do is their obligation to society. If the best a person with mental problems can do is washing cats at the local animal shelter once a month, then they should get those pussies as wet as possible. But if someone is disabled to the point of being nonverbal and completely reliant on others for their care and happiness, then they should be cared for in such a way that their lives are as rich and happy as can be possible. And in this case, watching Barney or some other kindergarten show is what made their lives not necessarily rich, but certainly happy.
The thing is here that it is really, really difficult to take care of someone with mental illnesses and disabilities. It's a twenty four hour job, three hundred and sixty five days a year. If you're caring for individuals who are physically strong, it's infinitely worse. A toddler throws a tantrum, probably the worse they can do is whack their carers on the nose or in the groin. An adult man with the same mental age can break their carer's jaw. Putting on a tv show can distract and calm the man and give their carers time for physical and mental recuperation.
Obviously there were serious problems with the program you were in. No one is arguing this. But instead of whining, bitching, and complaining about a television program, maybe your efforts would be better focused on helping others in the same predicament? Instead you're attempting to use kindergartner's television program to prove how smart you are. If you had a fraction of the intelligence you claim to have, surely you'd see the contradiction here? If you don't wish to be part of the mental disability community, that's cool.
POWER LEVEL: I actually got accused of being ablest because I don't see myself as disabled and didn't want to be part of that community, and being told I was ablest only reinforced my 'fuck these people' attitude. And there are a lot of other people in the world who feel the same way.
But your continued attempts to prove that you're smarter, better, more functional than your peers are having the exact opposite of what you're trying so desperately to do. Instead of being that smart weirdo who's gamely slowly but surely clawing his way out of the 'disabled reject' rubbish bin, you're that idiot sped who's obsessed with a twenty year old television aimed at kindergarten children and acts exactly like a kindergartner himself, running around the playground, howling at the top of your lungs that you're smarter than all of those stoopidheds who like that dumb baby stuff.
You're a grade 'A' lolcow and you keep coming back here again and again for milking, hoping for... what, exactly? What is it that you hope to achieve? No one is agreeing with you. Everyone is laughing at you. You are being laughed at because you're entertaining, but slowly but surely, as time goes on, you're gradually becoming less entertaining and not nearly as fun to have around. You're an idiot who's convinced you're a genius, because you don't like a show about a purple fucking dinosaur.

Maybe it's because he thinks it's fun. Or maybe he's trying to build up an army with us (as if).
Either way, he's not doing a good job. He's fucking insane and wishing ill-will to people with lesser mental capacities (like him, given his posts) isn't helping his case at all. It just feels like a bad mix between of both the lolcow and horrorcow types. And in all honesty, it's creeping me out.

I'd say "come on let him fuel the thread" but then I remembered that 4chan has been telling him the same thing for 2 years now (and he started earlier) and yet he's STILL going at it. He's a total joke.
I caught him shitting up a thread on /v/ because someone posted a pony picture. He seems to be really paranoid about the 4chan mods all being Barney fans who try to silence him by deleting his posts. They totally don't delete his posts because he's a raging autist. I'm very curious about what kind of mental gymnastics barneyfag goes through just to justify himself.
His justification is just gonna keep devolving and devolving untill he says he wasn't even in sped classes and just saw them watching barney through a hallway door window, isn't it.
