[QUOTE]Originally posted by Albino_Eskimo: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by With a name like Smuckers: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Snapdragon: [qb] Well when you are not taught any manners or discipline as a child then you grow up that way as well. Egyptian children are not disciplined at all. They scream, fight, throw things at each other, say the nastiest words possible, shove and push and simply put it is their parents fault for not teaching them the proper manners they needed. I have seen grown adult men and women make fun of a down syndrome child at a wedding party. Not one or two but a group of them. Of course along with a dozen children. What did they think he was a clown or something? Didn't someone teach them to behave and be respectful of other people even with disabilities? No..... [QUOTE]Originally posted by Albino_Eskimo: [qb] Alright when a sign at the "Egypt Museum" says don't touch the artifact, the artifact's case; and the sign is in English and Arabic why do Egyptians and tourists alike still need to touch the artifacts, cases and statues? What in the hell is wrong with people? Worse yet, why do parents encourage their son to pose next to a statue with his arm around the shoulders of the statue when clearly the whole Egyptian family is literate? What the hell is wrong with people? [/qb][/QUOTE][/qb][/QUOTE]That is so rude... What were they saying about him/her?? WHY?? as if the child has any fault in how God made them?? :( [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually that attitude towards mentally delayed children is changing. I think a few Egyptian celebs have openly celebrated their down syndrome children in public and rallied behind disability causes in general. Things are changing, but it takes time. There was a movie a while back with Nourhan and Mahmoud Abdel Aziz (father and daughter characters) and one of the neighbor kids was mentally delayed. Nourhan's father Aziz coaxed this child to spy on his daughter constantly to check on her whereabouts (she had a boyfriend in the hood) and she was careful not to berate this spy kid for his disability because its unIslamic. Was a major, major social change motivator. It takes the media and major celebs to focus social change and this subplot was a candid way of going about it. I did see a morbidly obese down syndrome boy at Montazah Palace Beach. He was overall well-behaved and very kind. But his family had a very special way with him that was mentally/emotionally healthy. It will change. And Egyptians find westerners as role models (unfortunately) and its our khawagaa responsibility to be gentle and supportive. It was just 2 decades ago when we breached this same issue. Be kind and they will be kind. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
