I personally am not offended, but then again I do not have Epilepsy, my daughter does.

It's one of those things that isn't gonna sit well for some people, and for others is perfectly fine.

HA HA HA! I want one! Seriously, it doesn't bother me. Anything that gets people thinking and talking about epilepsy is a good thing, I think.

But then, making jokes of a situation has always been my way of coping.

I almost bought that shirt some time

going out there in Cafe Press ... whoa!

But I'm not offended by it.

You know what ?.....I'm not sure.

Personally I don't mind it, as it doesn't offend me - I've gone through worst pee taking than that in the past.

I'm just wondering if it's something that might make kids think it's 'okay to have a laugh' about E ?

Hmmm....on the fence with this one.

Thumbs down I think...


...it's one of the stoopidest lookin' shirts I've seen in a long time...worn by a kid who looks like he's about to cry?

It doesn't really matter what that shirt says to me!

Unhappy


Not for me. I definitely wouldn't wear it. The more I thought about it the less I liked it.

Wouldn't get mad at another E patient for wearing it, because that may be there way of dealing with it. If a little laughter helps someone deal with it, that is great.

I just think there are better ways to promote awareness that won't set you up for someone else laughing at you.

Buckeye I never thought about it the way you put it. I just thought about as I accept myself as for me. I do with you though on that.
