I completely agree with you. I think it is sad and terrible that people have to make fun of others to make themselves feel better. Its the same way with all disabilties tho, my sister is special needs and people make fun of her all the time, fortunately for her she is too handicapped to have to deal with the emotional stress involved. I just think that it is peoples extreme ignorance that makes them b so cruel to others. I try hard to not let it get to me tho, cause its sad to say but we r all jst one person and we cant change all the world. If u ever want u can IM me.

I agree completely. I had an embarassing disease when i was younger due to being born 3 months prematurely. My bowels were impacted and my surviving kidney was connected wrong. i had to have the surgery when i was 12 (that's when they thought I would be able to handle it) but it was done in an emergency situation at the age of 8 and I almost died. I hate when people make fun of others because of their diseases. It's not like they chose it.

 I agree with everyone. However, it is impossible to make people stop making fun of those who are different. They are afraid, or just can't accept different people, it was like that for ages... Spartans used to threw babies with mutations down a Cliff... Europeans used to call different people witches and demons just to kill them... That became almost natural for society... how sad... 
It doesn't make it any more correct. Thankfully we don't throw babies off cliffs anymore, and maybe in the future people will learn to accept that Tourette's Syndrome, funny as it can be, is far more severe than what most people give it credit for.

Why the hell should we show respect? Respect is something to be earned, not given out because you're different or used to justify special treatment so we can all feel like such understanding, enlightened people. Right, so we're not supposed to make with the laughs. Should we keep quiet when you're there, and make jokes later? Isn't that worse, and an act of cowardice to mock someone behind their back instead of to their face? Or do we stop making jokes entirely, and let anyone with a problem and a victim complex dictate what's fair game for comedy? Do we make SOME jokes, because quantity is important and the less jokes the less it's going to hurt? Help me out here.
You should show respect as people who have to live with tourrettes have got enough to deal with without immature idiots thinking their condition is funny. I have people come up to me and say they wish they had tourrettes because it is 'cool'. Let me tell you, it is not cool. I have had to miss 2 years of school, visit 3 psyciatrists and been excluded, made fun of, beat up too many times to count all because of my condition. Let me tell you. It is not cool. So the answer is, dont make jokes at all. What if your son/daughter had tourrettes, would you follow your child around the house, mocking them beacuse they were unfortunate enough to have the disease? What do you earn from making jokes? yes, you and your pals get a laugh, but other than humiliating the victim you are humiliating yourself in the eye of the parents, friends, and relatives of the person unfortunate enough to encounter you. Im not saying you should respect a person just because they have a disease. But respect that it is a serious condition, an disease that cannot be cured. Dont resect the person because they are different but respect their condition, and realise that it is a big part of their life and even though it might be funny to you, to them it is not .

I think me and you have different ideas of the word "respect". I'm not saying look up to them, admire them. I'm saying don't make fun of them, and treat them as you would anyone else. Why? Because it hurts when you don't. It flat out hurts their feelings.

That would be showing consideration, which is a different matter and an entirely more reasonable request.
