[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was important for the person with Tourette’s to attend because “I Swear,” a movie about him and his condition, was a BAFTA contender.

The whole point of the movie is that we should all give more grace to someone with Tourette’s and coprolalia - [b]they shouldn’t have to avoid public venues and not live life[/b].  This same person had an unfortunate outburst when he was getting his MBE award from Queen Elizabeth.  She knew about his condition and he was still invited to the ceremony.

If they are going to shout racial slurs, yes, they should avoid public venues. It’s unfortunate that shouting slurs is a symptom of their disability but oh well. The rest of the world doesn’t need to accommodate you screaming racist epithets. [/quote]

Actually, the rest of the world should accommodate people with a disability that may cause them to shout racial epithets with no ill intent.  You are a disgusting, ablest pig.  [/quote]

No. If they can't behave in public, they need to not be in public. [/quote]

So you believe that a person with a disability should not attend attend an award ceremony where a movie about him and his disability is nominated because the manifestation of that same disability might make others uncomfortable?

That is truly too stupid for words.  [/quote]
[b]Depends on what he would say. We now know that his attendance should have been significantly limited. [/b]Including not attending the dinner post ceremony where he yet again screamed the N word at a black woman. [/quote]

Absolutely not, on both fronts.  It's disheartening to realize that many people think this way.  [/quote]
Too bad. If you cannot control that you are going to yell racial slurs then yes, your attendance at public events should be limited. Thankfully not even the ADA protects you at work if you have to scream out slurs. [/quote]
