Would you laugh at a man in a wheelchair?

[Mike_Yates]

Do you look down upon people that are disabled? Either physically or mentally?

You know who I think did a lot to end that bullshit?

Would you laugh at a man in a wheelchair?

Only if they were a comedian or a comédienne!

Mama raised me better than that.

No way!!! How rude. Why do you ask? Would you?
The only way is if they told a funny joke.

 

[Noor]

No, it wouldn't even occur to me.

Having spent 3 months in a wheelchair, I never had anyone laugh at me. I laughed a lot however. Someone did tell me I looked like a cyborg one day because I was in a very high tech lightweight chair, with a headset, and all sorts of electronics attached to me. I was color coding my clothing to my body armour and wheelchair which also caused comment

I did have several guys fall into my lap at a star wars exhibit, took down a wall in a store dressing room, got stuck in a movie theater bathroom (couldn't get the outer door open) and had someone *help* me gouge out part of a wall in a museum.

Also had store motorized wheelchairs' batteries die miles from the entrance, luckily I had a cell phone.

What about people with mild mental defects such as borderline intellectual functioning and mild mental retardation?

There is nothing to laugh about. No one is perfect. It is ill mannered to make fun of someone for a disability, decent people don't do it.

I have borderline intellectual functioning and was in special education for the last two years of my high school career.

Continuing my education beyond high school could be extremely difficult if not impossible.

Sometimes I think about retards when blasting zombie targets.

Does that make me a bad man or a pervese lover of the 2nd Amendment?

 

[JohnnySavage]

It depends if he fell out of it or something like that.

 

[torchthebitch]

Only if they are doing stand-up comedy.

 

[Mike_Yates]

Special needs kids have special needs.

 

[Salzer]

My daughter uses one

I pitty anyone who laughs at her, they won't see another day. I promise you that.

Can someone with an IQ of 70 become a productive member of society?

Yes

[Mike_Yates]

What about someone with a slightly higher IQ of ~90?

Do you think they could earn a college degree with tons of tutoring and assistance?

Putting someone with an IQ of 90 through college is a tall order.

 

[BrianCaster]

no need to consider that they're 'faulty'. It's as normal as others. Just a bit different in one aspect.

 

[Mike_Yates]

An IQ below 100 is considered faulty.

Once, but the wheelchair had been "suped" up. His buddies made him a chair as an homage to his racing days: had racing slicks on the back, Dodge Charger parts all over, and a wing from a 1970 Charger Daytona on it.

 

[wheelchairman85]

Since i am a young man who is in a wheelchair i would NOT laugh at another man or woman who was disabled.

Mental disabilities are far worse than physical disabilities.
