A lot of the things that cause people to be handicapped also cause them to be overweight.  If you are unable to walk, for example, as a result of heart disease, lung disease, or a spinal cord injury, it is very easy to put on the pounds.  \n\nHave a little consideration--would you willingly change places with a handicapped person just to get a better parking space? Of course not.  Neither would they.

because they're insensitive pieces of human excrement.  (by the way, when i mention "you" in the following, i'm not referring to you, dear murdock, but to those jerks who think they can just go around doing whatever they want.)\n\nmy brother is in a wheelchair.  it burns my arse to see some jerk taking up a spot that's SUPPOSED TO BE LEFT OPEN FOR THOSE WHOSE LIVES ARE ALREADY MADE DIFFICULT ENOUGH BY NOT BEING ABLE TO FREAKIN' *WALK*!!!!!!!  y'think it's okay to just park there for a bit?  who'll know?  well, it's a FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR FINE where i'm from, and you KNOW that i call it in when i see it.  yeah, punk!  was that close spot worth the half-grand?  huh?  HuH?\n\nif you're not handicapped, get over it.  it's not so bad to have to walk a bit across the parking lot.  heck.. it's probably the most exercise you've had all week, you EVIL LAZY JERKWADS.

Dear bushido***\n\n.....the shoe was left there for a reason!!!!!!\n\na shoe is the only means of transport a foot has.  It can have many other purposes on the other hand until the foot claims it back.  It can be a wonderful house for a mouse, or a nest for a bird, even a place for a snake.....................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!\n\nOr it could be your, wait for it\nSOULMATE*********\nhee!hee!\nluv peppa-anne

Disability Groups are already in consultation with the Mayor of London and LOCOG (The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games) over the access and transport issues involved in disabled athletes and spectators attending the 2012 Games and Paralympic Games. \n\nMuch of London's ancient underground system is still inaccessible, though all buses can now take wheelchairs and all the Routemaster buses have now been scrapped in favour of low floor buses with retractable ramps that can emerge and rest on pavements.\n\nSo yes, the issue is being taken very seriously and it is one of the reasons why London was awarded the Games as it was an integral part of the bid.

I have suffered as a disabled Judeau-Christian, and I was taunted for having spasms. There is a legal recourse of action you can take. If it is a neighbour and you can prove that they are spreading false allegations about a disabled person, or persons, especially related to their illness then let  your local council know if you are in the UK and they will put you in touch with the right authority or organisation to deal with the matter.\n\nMy former neighbour got evicted as the taunts, and abuse came under anti-social behaviour. Keep records and get as much evidence as you can. In some cases, I think the police can even be involved. \n\nThe DDA mostly covers discrimination at work and not at a persons home, although I did suggest to the authorities to make it include disabled people in public places and their homes, as discrimination is discrimination. I also told them that a person can be arrested under racial discrimination, so the same should be for us disabled. Anybody who discriminates against a disabled person should fear being arrested and charged.

maybe they wanted to highlight the condition so we all got to see how the syndrome affects certain people?   \n\nHmmm that might be a bit socially responsible for BB though?  hehe\n\nI personally am not sure as to how much Pete is affected by the condition?  All the falling down the stairs and squealing on day one seemed to me like he was trying to do a poor Norman Collier impersonation?  Then the shouts of w***** seemed to be an imitation of Marty in Shameless??\n\nTime will tell I suppose. Im going to keep an eye out on what times of day he appears to have outbursts?   If he mainly manages to have them after the watershed then I think hes fake!\n\nBut then again what do I know!!  I thought Shabazz was soo amusing.  He is my fave I thought.  One day later he is irritating the hell out of me.\n\nAddictive telly though eh??\n\nswift addition after watching tonights episode! Pete alledgedly went outside to scream and swear into a pillow? Didnt know you could predict when tourettes would strike?? Definitly a fake.  Is The loughboro chav the Lisa one Richie? Or is it the one with the plastic breasts from Notts? Id move to Korea but I like the cringe factor

coming from 32 years of being disabled myself ( i am in a wheelchair permanently) i would say most people that use a chair, scooter etc. probably needs it but i have saw some people who were trying to trick their insurance company.

Two guesses, but admittedly, guesses.  First, for space.  Usually, the DS drives, the assistant DS is on the passenger seat, and the mechanic is at the back.  Second, because of tradition?  It has been like that since support vehicles were introduced to thte TDF.

Polio is what put him in a wheel chair.

It takes a kind of special person that can cope with some one that has a disability, and not have that I feel sorry for you because you have a disability.I order to really cope with it you have to be in it for the long haul because it will wear you down and put a strain on a relationship, I know for a fact because I have been a wheel chair now for over a year and I have heard my spouse say I wish he wasn't in the damn thing.

some people are ignorant.  Of course someone in a wheelchair has a life.  It is just expereienced differently than someone who is not in a wheelchair.  Some people in wheelchairs have better lives than people that arent.

Bill Dancer and his young companion Curly Sue are the classic homeless folks with hearts of gold. Their scams are aimed not at turning a profit, but at getting enough to eat. When they scam the rich and beautiful Grey Ellison into believing she backed her Mercedes into Bill, they're only hoping for a free meal. But Grey is touched, and over the objections of her snotty fiance, insist on putting the two up for the night. As they get to know each other, Bill becomes convinced that this is where Curly Sue belongs - in a home, cared for by someone that can give her the advantages that his homeless, nomadic existence lacks. He plans to leave the young girl in the care of Grey and take off.... but Curly Sue has other ideas!

The rod goes into the car with Marge and Maggie. Since then, The rod has shown up in the episode when Homer goes into outer space and he used the rod to keep the spaceship  door closed and when Homer came home the rod became an instant celebrity. It got a parade too. Stupid rod!
