I guess I feel like it's made specially for them, and it would be rude if I used it when I'm not disabled myself.

I think they come in handy for people with strollers or people who are carrying too much stuff and have their hands full.

ok JohnyJohn, you have written some horrible descriptions here. i am giving you an opportunity to explain yourself before i remove this thread, and if you want this thread to remain i would also advise you to edit those. you hopefully will have a good reason for it as this is very disturbing.

why are you asking if members want to do horrible things to disabled people?

Of course, but I'm talking about everyday people who aren't carrying anything except maybe a bookbag. They have no reason to use the handicap door. It's not a big deal, just something that I wonder about.

What? No.

Actually, I have to own up, I'm not keen on severely mentally ret*d people what will always need 24-hour care all their lives and are really just a pest. My friend's 28-year-old brother has Mental Retardation, and has a mind of a 2-year-old. He doesn't wear nappies, but when he needs the toilet he pulls the nearest carer in the care home by the hand to the toilet, and they have to wipe his bum for him.
And when he gets in a temper he does some really unique things, like tip the fridge over or crawls into a cupboard and stays there for hours.

He is quite comtempt playing with toys all day. That's the only thing that keeps him happy. Nobody wants to take him out because they find him ''to embarrassing'', but when one of the carers takes him out they wear a special badge to say that they're caring for this person, so that people will know more why he is acting very different.

This is why I don't want children. My brain is pretty f****d up, my children will be born with f****d up brains and all.

*Sniff! Sniff!*

Is that the odor of another topic about to be flushed I smell?

Where'd I put that Lysol?

JohnyJohn, if you would like to continue this discussion go back and edit your post on the first page to take out the examples of bad things that can be done to disabled people, as i already asked you to do.

No. My mother is physically disabled and I try to take care of her.

I hate when I see non-disabled people, especially students on campus, use handicap accessible devices. If you're perfectly capable of opening the door, why would you press the button to open the door for you? What if someone in a wheelchair needs it? I just feel like people can be lazy.

What's wrong with people pushing the handicap button so the door can open for them? It's not taking it away from the disabled people.

Agreed. I often use it because I have pain issues. You can't always see a person's disabilities.

... I'm not sure what harming disabled people has to do with that particular part of the bible since nobody was disabled (or hurt for being disabled,) but no, I don't hate disabled people.

I get along better with disabled people than I do with normal people, no I don't hate disabled people. I like them better than normal people.

Absolutely not.

Out of the entire human population, the people I am the the most comfortable around, and always was, are/were people with developmental disabilities. My younger sister also falls into this category.

This is a strange thread, though. Thank goodness I didn't see the descriptions before they were edited out.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

No - but i do hate degenerate religious fanatics and political fanatics who think they are superior to other people.

The world would be better off without that kind of people polluting the gene-pool with their sociopathic thinking.

Ah, but what's the question?

Seriously, though, what a nonsensical idea. Why would we hate disabled people? We ARE disabled people. Sure, there's the problem of internalized prejudice, but somehow I don't think that's what you're getting at.

Johnny John originally asked if we "hate disabled people". So are you saying "yes" to hating?

Hatred is a rather childish emotional state that is also quite energy taxing.

Oh and the answer from me is an emphatic NO!
