Theresa_N comments on Feb 15, 2021:

It seems, and among people here it's pretty much the same, peoples worth is determined by their looks, especially how much they weigh, and whether they are intelligent "enough." I see references to "retards" on here without any objection from commenters so it hardly surprises me that in the general population there would be such violations of rights.
