Retarded people make me uncomfortable
Well... if it's mild and they're still all right socially, it doesn't bother me a lot. But I don't like people who are visibly retarded.. they really creep me out, the way they look and the way they act, and I can't help but feel like the money to keep them alive is just wasted (especially when there are starving children of normal intelligence...) Every time I hear of a retarded person acting violent or gross I hate them even more. But everyone else seems to be fine with them, so I feel like such a bad person... is it normal?
Do you think it's normal?

Just one of those weird phobias, I suppose. Along the same lines as homophobia. I feel a little uncomfortable around them, too, sometimes. I would recommend just trying to be around them more if you can so that you get used to and come to terms with their disability. As long as you keep your feelings to yourself and don't target them for harassment or hate crimes then it's not that bad.

Me too, I do not see anything weird about it, once I saw a retard grab my mom and try to stick his tongue up her throat, now that is a good reason for fearing those guys and gals... Not their fault though, but I still feel uncomfortable as hell around them. They are not all the same, much like you and I too, but they have less impulse control (from my experience at least) And I prefer avoiding them.
