Reason number 105432 I won't be watching the Olympics this year

This just makes me seethe.

"DISABLED people can be unsocial, stubborn, controlling, defensive and have a strong sense of inferiority, according to an official Beijing Olympics guide . . ."

Nice. Sometimes when I find my own country frustrating and ignorant, I look elsewhere and am relieved that I live where I do.

stunned. Can't respond, because I'd be placed in their stereotype.

My best response is to switch off. ;)

I'd take offence at that, but then maybe that's just my strong sense of inferiority. And no one try to persuade me otherwise, because I'm just so darn stubborn and defensive. Now I'll just go back to being the master puppeteer controlling the lives of the friends I don't have because I'm so unsocial.

I can't actually even take offence at that, because the person who said that so clearly has major issues. Besides, it's not exactly imaginative...
