I understand if it’s a disease or something where the person has absolutely 0 control over it. Then I feel bad, and they should get the proper surgery/ care.
But I see fat people in their scooters, loading up the basket with candy, junk, soda, and fatty foods. Then, as they swipe their food stamp card they brag about their benefits and how the state bought them a car because they didn’t fit in their last one, and they expect me to feel sorry for them. Then they go on and on about how they cant lose weight no matter how hard they try. I normally point at their sugary and fatty food and say, well at least you’re on the right track to getting better. (is that too rude?)
I used to work in fast food as a teen, and people would order 4 of the biggest fattiest burgers, a chicken sandwich, two large fries, and a side salad with a diet soda. They would get the salad and diet soda because they’re ‘on a diet’. I always wanted to explain that their one meal is the equivalent of 3 days of calories. I don’t get it.
These people get free housing, free transportation, free food, free insurance, free everything, because they decided to be lazy and irresponsible with their bodies.
Why do fat people try to get you to feel sorry for them? Being fat is a choice, not a terminal illness. Should obese people get full benefits if it’s not because of an illness out of their control?
It almost makes me want to give up my perfect body and gain 200 lbs, so I can scoot through life for free. There’s no benefits for being healthy and making positive life choices. i don’t get it.
im 28 years old im college educated i got a nice job i own my own place, independent yet girls just see me as a handicap man and dont date me….. i get around in a scooter bc i cant walk real long distances h/o i can walk! i was in a car accident when i was 2 so ive persevered but dating ive always struggled with….. are women just insecure or embarrassed to be seen with me? i can generally get #s no problem (i generally dont like toget #s when out but if she strikes my interest i ask for it) and a few have even ask me if “it” works which gets me mad
heres a story – i met this girl last weds night, we seemed to hit it off. we grew up in the same state went to the same univ (she graduates next week) and just had a good talk that night. i asked for her # and she input it and called herself…. that night she asked if i was going to happy hour on friday and i said yes… so that day i texted her 2 c if she was stil goin and we met up she was with her friends but she came over to me and talked 1 on 1….we talked where we lived, she asked if i lived alone and asked about my handicap and about my accident ect ect talked about 15-20 mins then her friendspulled her away to leave and go somewhere else……i called her monday night and havent heard back……. im not being pushy i know she busy with marketing projs and end of the year grad stuff but if she sounded sincere why no call back or very least a text
There’s a whole family of obese ppl in my street, they all ride around on them mobility scooters, they don’t have jobs, so i guess they must be getting the highest rate of disability as they have a real nice house, and a nice cars too ?? … So is it obesity really a disability ?? … If so, why don’t ppl in the developing world get it, not trying to be rude, just curious…
I noticed that some people WITHOUT disabilities are angry about the fact that Disabled people have certain Disability privileges and have even spoken against certain Disability privileges. Some of the Disability privileges that I noticed that are source of anger with people WITHOUT disabilities are these:
1. Handicapped Parking
2. Being on Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid.
3. Disabled people being allowed to jump to the head of the line (not having to wait in line).
Other certain Disability privileges that I noticed that are a source of contention with people WITHOUT disabilities are these:
1. Using Handicapped bathrooms
2. Using Handicapped scooters in stores and elsewhere.
3. Reserved seats in public transport buses.
Why are certain people WITHOUT disabilities are angry about these Disability Privileges that I mentioned?
Why do certain people WITHOUT disabilities condemn the Disability Privileges that I mentioned?
Why are certain people WITHOUT disabilities against Disabled people having the Disability Privileges that I mentioned?

I have a Disability Access Ramp for my Handicapped Scooter in front of my HUD subsidized apartment.
We have snow on the ground which means I have snow on my Disability Access Ramp. The apartment maintenance man cleared the snow from all of the apartments sidewalks but did NOT clear the snow from my Disability Access Ramp. I nearly slipped and fell on my Disability Access Ramp trying to get to my motor vehicle.
I need to get groceries tomorrow (Sunday, 2-6-2011). I need to take my Handicapped scooter with me when I get groceries but I can not due to the snow not being cleared from my Disability Access Ramp.
By not clearing snow from my Disability Access Ramp, would this be a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act???
Thank You!

Teddy & Chiliswoman: I will not be pursing this possible ADA violation but I was just curious to know whether it is or is not a ADA violation. I am requesting that you cite the sources with web-links about “PWD insider language”, and “Pulling PWD Rank” because I would like to read the sources that you refer to. Concerning “Pulling Rank”, I think that it originated within the military which means that “Pulling PWD Rank” would be a “spin-off” from the military term “Pulling Rank”. I want nobody to know my real name for various reasons including protecting my privacy. The only reason why I post my “registrations”,”certifications” and “recognitions” is to let people (regular posters and NEW posters) know that me and my only child are not A-DPWs (Admirers, Devotees, Pretenders, Wannabes) persons but we are actual legitimate Disabled PWDs.
Teddy & Chiliswoman: The abbreviations (AFO, PD, WC, PMD, SSA, PWD) that you are calling “silly” are actual abbreviations that are used with the PWD Community and the Medical Community. PD-PWD is a combination of two actual abbreviations that used within the PWD Community and the Medical Community. The other abbreviations (PHPSSP, RCRMEDIR, RCRMNFED, MLRCRD, PWDRHIP) are not silly because I came up with these because they are in reference to me in what type of Handicapped Parking permit that I have, me being a member of the NFED and the NFED International Registry, and me having legal and medical recognition/proof of my Disabilities. These abbreviations is what type of PWD that I am. I came up with the acronym “PWDRHIP” which stands for “Person With Disabilities Rank Has Its Privileges”.
Teddy & Chiliswoman: If you can please post what Steve Brown has to say because I would like to know. I know about Steve Brown but I not know Steve Brown personally. If you have computer files on your hard drive, could you send the relevant files to me by email, If so, then create a special email account and post the email address so I can email you, so you can email me the files to my special email account that I have. — You are right in terms of that anyone can say what I have said – including a pretender or wannabe but the actual proof of the pudding on whether person is an actual PWD or not is the type of questions and answers that a person posts. Thank you for your compliment that you think I post good information which should serve as proof that I am an actual PWD. I know what I am talking about when posting information due to the fact that me and my only child are actual PWDs. — One possible reason why I might being given “TDs” is due to the fact that I have made various con
Teddy & Chiliswoman: One possible reason why I might being given “TDs” is due to the fact that I have made various controversial statements in the past in which Non-PWDs (Outsiders) including some PWDs that have disagree with my various controversial statements. Another possible reason why is because some people are INCORRECTLY assuming that I am a “fake” PWD and does not believe that I am an actual PWD.— I have seen another poster combine together the actual abbreviations of AB and PWD. Yes it does further separate ‘us’ from ‘them’. Yes, I have only created
five (5) or six (6) acronyms that other ‘PWDs do not know but some other abbreviations like TRPS, LGS, SKS, EDS, NFED, and etc.are EXTRMEMLY SPECIFIC to EXTREMELY SPECIFIC Disability Communities that I belong to which makes at least 90% of the PWDs to be “Outsiders” to the EXTREMELY SPECIFIC Disability Communities that I belong to in which at least 90% of the PWDs have NEVER heard of. In one sense all PWDs are “Insiders” for var
Teddy & Chiliswoman: In one sense all PWDs are “Insiders” for various reasons but in another sense all PWDs are “Outsiders” due to various reasons. There will never be a complete language that will be universally understood within the PWD Community for various reasons including the fact that specific Disability Communities will always have a specific language and specific abbreviations that will not be understood by other types of specific Disability Communities.
Teddy & Chiliswoman: I lost your email address that you gave me before but I will contact you through your new website that you posted about on 1-20-2011 on another website. You still will be able to post what Steve Brown said because people will have up to 2-12-2011 to respond to my question. — I will always use acronyms.
To Teddy & Chiliswoman: I wish that the entire PWD Community could be united as one and speak one language but it will never happen due to one of the reasons that a specific Disability Community will always have a specific type of Disability language and specific abbreviations that is unique to the specific Disability Community which will not be understood by other types of specific Disability Communities which does create “Insiders” and “Outsiders”.
Example: The Ectodermal Dysplasias (EDS) Community has a specific type of language and specific abbreviations that is unique to the Ectodermal Dysplasias (EDS) Community that is not understood by at least 90% of the entire PWD Community.
Teddy & Chiliswoman: Yes,i t does make sense to use acronyms within communities that understand them. But it also makes sense to make use of acronyms outside of specific Disabilities communities for various reasons. People can always ask what the acronyms mean if they do not understand them which gives people a chance to learn something new. There has been times in the past where other posters has posted acronyms that I did not know what they meant which I googled such acronyms which gave me the opportunity to learn something new which is very much greatly appreciated. Also my fingers and hands are deformed from TRPS which makes it slow and hard for me to type. My fingers joints are also painful due to TRPS and Arthritis and it is easier and faster for me to type the acronym TRPS instead of typing “Trichorhinophalangeal Syndrome”. It makes sense for me to use various acronyms for various reasons. I do encourage the usage of acronyms outside of specific Disabilities communities for var
Teddy & Chiliswoman: I do encourage the usage of acronyms outside of specific Disabilities communities for various reasons. By doing so it will give PWDs and specific Disabilities communities the chance to learn from one another and it would help unite the entire PWD Community together instead of separation, isolation, and segregation. Specific Disabilities communities need to share with one another and to learn from one another instead of separation, isolation, and segregation. Yes, I am a nice person but PWDs and Specific Disabilities communities need to share with one another and to learn from one another instead of being separated, isolated, and segregated.
To fodaddy19: To “Pull PWD Rank” is NOT hypocritical. “Pulling PWD Rank” means taking advantage of and using Disability (PWD) Accommodations (Privileges, Benefits, Advantages, Perks) that are only available to PWDs and not to Non-PWDs (Outsiders). Examples: Parking in a Handicapped Parking Space, Not having to pay a parking meter because of having a Handicapped Parking Space State Permit, Accommodations in exams, Discounts and reserved seats in public transportation, Getting SSI and Medicaid and/or SSDI and Medicare, Jumping ahead to the front of the line, and etc, etc, and etc. If anybody tries to “take me to task” for using various Disability (PWD) Accommodations (Privileges, Benefits, Advantages, Perks), I WILL ALWAYS DEFEND AND PROTECT MY RIGHT to use various Disability (PWD) Accommodations (Privileges, Benefits, Advantages, Perks)!
To fodaddy19: Being a PWD and having a Disability puts a person at a disadvantage which results in inequalities between a PWD and a Non-PWD (Outsider). Disability (PWD) Accommodations helps equalizes the playing field between PWDs and Non-PWDs (Outsiders) which results in equality between PWDs and Non-PWDs (Outsiders). To use Disability (PWD) Accommodations is contingent on the type of Disabilities that a person has. Example: AB-PWD (like you) can not park in a Handicapped Parking Space but a PD-PWD (like myself) can park in a Handicapped Parking Space which results in a PWD (Myself) “Pulling PWD Rank” over another PWD (You) because of the different type of Disabilities we both have and what Disability (PWD) Accommodations we have access to. Me parking in a Handicapped Parking Space helps equals the playing field between me and you including Non-PWDs (Outsiders). Me parking in a Handicapped Parking Space also results in me “Pulling PWD Rank” over Non-PWDs (Outsiders). I have been given
To fodaddy19: I have been given the legal right by the state to park in a Handicapped Parking Space whereas you have not been given the legal right by the state to park in a Handicapped Parking Space. PWDs have the legal federal right through the ADA And the ADAAA to have various Disability (PWD) Accommodations. Privileges like not having to pay a parking meter because of having a Handicapped Parking Space State Permit, and courtesies like jumping ahead to the front of the line can every easily be taken away but a PD-PWD does have the legal right to use such privileges and courtesies IF they are extended to a PD-PWD that meets the qualifications. Whenever I “Pull PWD Rank” in various ways, it always gives me equality and it always equalizes the playing field between me and Non-PWDs (Outsiders).
To fodaddy19: A PWD should ALWAYS use such “perks” IF they can due to the possibility that a PWD always might need to use such perks IF the PWD is in the middle of a situation and develops the need to require usage of such “perks” IF the PWD have used such “perks” in the past due to pain, and etc. If a PWD is in the middle of a situation and develops the need to require usage of such “perks” and the PWD is NOT using such “perks” the PWD is going be in a predicament which could require the PWD needing assistance. A PD-PWD like myself ALWAYS requires the use of a Handicap Bathroom Stall and a Handicap Parking Space because both “perks” is NOT a “want to” but a “need to” for myself. But an AB-PWD should NOT use a Handicap Bathroom Stall and a Handicap Parking Space because it would be a “want to” but not a “need to” and an AB-PWD is more physically able to walk and to use a regular bathroom stall instead of a PD-PWD. A PWD should NEVER use “accommodations” if they do NOT need them. As for
To fodaddy19: As for myself, the various “accommodations” that I use is because I “NEED” to and NOT because I want to.
