Damn. I hit “post” too early.

Ol’ Ben hit this kid during warm-ups. On purpose. Because the kid was timing his pitches. So Ben chucked one, and hit the kid in the face. The kid lost some vision in one of his eyes, and, to the best of my knowledge, was being fairly heavily scouted for the majors, and is now out of baseball altogether.

All children are annoying, it’s in the job description. So what would you have us do with these “annoying” children? Lock them up in a sanitarium like they used to do in Victorian times? Yes, for Og’s sake keep them away from normals kids, it might be catching.  
By the way, moron is Welsh for carrot.

Oddly, he/she/it spells all words completely correctly except for “you” and “your”. He/she/it has also poked his/her/its nose into the Peak Oil thread in GD, only to get it smacked with a rolled up newspaper.

So who is the jackass?  
See [Wordnet, Princeton University](http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn) and search for synonyms for moron

Hey **Guin** , have you found a job yet or are you still living with your parents?

Problems? What problems would these be? Seeing someone with special needs as a person who needs some help and learning how to deal with it? My son is left-handed, sometimes he writes letters and numbers backwards, should “normal” kids be kept away from him too?

And you never answered my question about what you would have us do with these children.

FFS, let’s have a whipround, and give this carrot a clue.

We have no problems letting “special” people participate with everyone else.

At least until your thirty days is up.
