http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/arti...66&ito=1490 I thought this was pretty funny. I think he's right, but not in all cases. Everyone it seems, 'is smart'....nobody can just be an idiot anymore, there has to be some condition attached to it.

That is so true, and a lot of people go out of there way to act dumb just to be able to say "I have ____." My step brother is one of them, he'll go out of his way to act distracted and purposely do things (it's too obvious), and he always acts all deer in the headlights: "What happened?".. "I have ADD" (even though he has no medicine for it, or any documents that says he has it).

I disagree, Dyslexia is a real problem. I am mildly dyslexic, but I usually catch myself quickly. but I concider myself far from stupid.

I agree, but not in all cases. For example, I have alcoholism. I am powerless to stop it.

That's like saying I can't state how many points Kobe Bryant scored on Toronto if I didn't play for the Toronto Raptors.

It seems like here it is the new cool thing to be ADD, ADHD, or any of that sh*t.

Re: Dyslexia 'is just a middle-class way to hide stupidity'

I do think that the title is inappropriate. It should be "dyslexia is just a middle-class way to hide illiteracy", because I've met smart dyslexic people.

It's about a statue of the virgin Mary bleeding from her vagina. People come to have the blood of the statue cure their disease, one of them being Stan's dad who is an alcoholic. He comes because AA told him he is powerless against alcohol without a higher power.You ruined the joke!
