No, go ahead, I like psychology. And sociology. Well, I like practically every -ology there is.  |

When I lived with my dad, there was always Pepsi or Coke. Never Sprite or Dr. Pepper. Though, he did buy milk.
I can't judge that movie, since I've never seen it. Actual retardation is based on three factors. Developmental, IQ and...social? But anyway, the term "retarded" is often misused by the public. Even I'm guilty of misusing the term at times. But also, I don't hear the term used much at all among my professors or teachers, or even when I worked for ARC. I almost wonder if it's becoming a bad word, or if the fact that there's other mental disorders... But I will refrain from further psychology lecturing. ~Hikaru |

I'd wish for tea and hot chocolate. Every one else in the house drinks soda. Yuck. So, there's hardly ever any tea, since no one buys any! I have to buy it, but then everyone else drinks it. As for retarded people, I've seen Dumb and Dumber. Two very kind but very stupid friends. |

Or wish that you had the marketing skills to sell warm lemonade in the cold! 
...All fluffy wishes, though. You'd only need one wish to take care of everything, really.  |

Ooh! I didn't think of that! Then I'd have to make the wish in a couple of months when the weather's hot. ~Hikaru |

Then you start a lemonade stand!  |

Yes, I was thinking about the fridge. I would have wished "I wish I had a never-ending supply of beer and a place to store it all." Only, I would have wished for Sprite or lemonade, because beer tastes like...I won't say that word here. Of course, then I'd get tired of Sprite and lemonade. ~Hikaru |

Silly Tony... never thought it would turn out to be the entire family! |

Jafar isn't my favourite villain, but in his defense, he did have the upper hand in the second movie due to cleverness. Even if we don't like someone, that doesn't mean they don't have good qualities. And Jafar isn't real. (I get the impression I'm reminding myself of that last line.)
I worked at a camp for many disabled children. I almost wish they'd change the name "Association for Retarded citizens" and change it, because "retarded" is used to freely. Even some of the campers used that word to each other. ~Hikaru |

Tenth Kingdom comes to mind. I think I said that before. One of his wishes was "I wish you and your entire family would kiss my ass and be my slaves for the rest of your lives." He was speaking to his boss. Then they all were literally trying to kiss his butt. Another story, too, where a woman wishes for children. A daughter with great eyes and a son with strong legs. The girl is born lame, and the boy is born blind. ~Hikaru |

| Jafar isn't retarded. He just gets a little caught up in the moment.
Have you ever met anyone who was actually retarded? Retarded enough that he/she couldn't function on a normal social level - EG, couldn't think above the level of a four-year-old? If not, I suggest doing so. Then you may not be so quick to give other people that label. |

Bingo! Almost everyone says that Jafar's retarded (including me!) |

Or Jafar wishing that he was an all powerful genie. |

An example of that would be King Midas, who wished that whatever he touches turns into gold. Many people are so foolish.....
