The Elderly and the Disabled
A T-ball coach seeking to keep a player with a mental disability off the field allegedly asked another player to hurt the boy, state police said Friday.

Is this what our nation is coming to?
This country does not value the elderly or the mentally challenged. In fact, for the elderly, we seek to mercifully kill them through Euthanasia. For the mentally challenged, mothers are now urged to abort them, before they could become a burden on society. These people seek to establish a perfect human race.
This whole theory of a perfect human race is not new, however. Hitler also tried to found a perfect race by the destruction of millions of human lives. We all know that this was not a good thing, and in fact resulted in the Second World War. However, this new evil is very much socially accepted around the world. People wish to complain about human rights and human dignity in order to marry, but when it comes to this, they are silent. They say by killing them, they are doing them a favor. This society has become a very selfish society, a society where the ME and the I rules.
People do not care about their neighbors anymore. If I am inconvenienced by something, then it must be taken care of so that it doesn't bother me anymore. This coach was only thinking of himself, and the win. This child stood in the way of that, and invaded his comfort zone, so he sought to find a solution to his problem. Let alone it was a Tee-Ball game. Youth sports used to be about giving kids the chance to have fun, to give them something to do. Now all you hear about is murders, fights, etc in relation to youth sports. This is a selfish society, where true human dignity and equality are far from respected.
When people are really ready to discuss human rights and dignity, then we need to first stop viewing men as objects. Until then, people will never fully understand human rights and basic human dignity.
Stories like this really get to me...
