| #1 "The first rule of dementia fight club is... is... is... Did I have lunch yet today?" And before anyone comes down on my neck for making light of dementia, I've watched several members of my family suffer with it, I probably carry the gene myself. I'm just sick and tired of the idea that getting offended about what is clearly intended to be a light-hearted take on this or that unfortunate thing constitutes a constructive response to the actual problem. The outrage exists to hit people over the head with, not to better the actual situation, whatever it may be. |
