Tell me about the rabbits again, George.  Tell me how I will take care of 'em, and pet 'em, and we'll live off the fat of th' lan'.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Today I receive letter from America. I am consider for new experimental medical procedure to fix epileptic seizure. Tomorrow I go to America. I will not have access to computer terminal. I will type on computer terminal after procedure. I will play video game and watch big movie. This is a super duper.
 
Thank you America

Color me naive, but at first I wasn't sure if this thread was a joke; I took it with a grain of salt.  It actually occurred to me to write a serious response.  But this last message was so over the top that I'm certain it's a joke.

I didn't think so many people here were naive and gullible.

I'm sorry, but a joke about epilsey isn't right.  I'm not one of those politically-correct crazies that are trying to ruin America, but it just seems wrong.

Huh! (:

Voor, lighten up. My sister had Epilepsy, in fact that was how she passed away- had a seizure and drowned, which is sad, but I myself have a terminal illness and I HAVE to laugh at it , I have to use humour, otherwise I'd go crazy-er then I am. I am always drawing cartoons for my doctors about it. If someone made a joke about my illness, I'd laugh too.

I guess I can see where some would take offense But honestly, people who are disabled or ill either learn to laugh at their situation or become seriously depressed and get sicker. I find it funny in itself that the people who are most offended are the HEALTHY ones! Oh well-thats irony for you.

Yeah, you're right. Guess I hate to see anyone offended, but you are right. Thanks for the lesson.  Really (not sarcasm)!
