Offensive?

Yes, the caption to the picture is truly offensive to me. Making fun of someone's misfortune degrades humanity. If you are lucky you will never be the subject of a similar "joke".

mleskovar, I'm just now getting to this one. I agree with you. We're not in the business here of demeaning or making fun of anyone. I've seen the picture in question in other posts, and cringed each time.

There are different levels of degrading or demeaning people. Derogatory remarks about "The Hatchback" and by inference, the people who buy them, are a mild form of degrading sarcasm, IMO, but taking advantage of someone with an obvious personal "challenge" is over the line.

I will edit to remove the offensive picture. This thread is now CLOSED.
