Well if this is satire, then I would love to see his take on grown men that still play with Barbie Dolls.

I recently read the theory that our reality was built by the middle-management of Creation... that WOULD explain a LOT!

I have to pass along this incident that occurred yesterday at the Greyhound depot in Reno. The bus was sold out and everyone had a ticket. One passanger was in a wheelchair and demanded, because of the ADA, to be seated even though it meant taking out three rows (of two) of seats. So five non-disabled people were told they could not board the bus (the last bus, by the way, to San Francisco) and had to wait until the next morning to leave Reno. They flipped! They could not understand why five people should be inconvenienced, with no reimbursement, so one person could ride the bus. And of course the disabled person was yelling discrimination and that Greyhound had to abide by the laws of the ADA. Fists were about to fly. So five people had to leave this morning at 6:30 a.m., miss work, and pay for their own room an extra night so one person could be accommodated. You'll forgive me, but that seems insane. And guess who the last person to make that bus? Me! But the poor people with paid-in-full tickets behind me were totally screwed. And the kicker? The disabled lady only had to pay for one seat even though she took up six. It's time to re-evaluate the Americans With Disabilities Act so as to not to discriminate against people who just happen not to be disabled.

I'd say, at times, it is certainly taken to far.

Just like riders.. There provided lane and other rules.. But some push it to the limite..

disablited people are the same..

The bus thing is on the wheelchair person.. They used the ADA to fuck over others.. The bus co. should have been alerted of there needs ahead of time..

The wheelchair person was a totle ass hole..

Like the drivers with disabled cards.. They shove there shopping cart into the disableds walk way. Or leave them so no one else can park.. Give anyone an inch and they will take a mile.. This rant needs to be in the fuck thread..

I'm not so sure it's just amputees.....my first thought is of all the suffering through out the world. Flooding,famine,earthquakes,disease.If there is a god why does he allow it. Is he not the almighty? I'm roman catholic and I have to question my faith sometimes. I want there to be a god ,but I really have my doubts sometimes.

Anyways, I gotta go say some Hail Mary's or something to make up for talking bad.Good thing he forgives sinners.

I just want to know why you're taking a Greyhound bus in the first place. You just displaced one poor person!

Yeah, being crippled means that you never get to do anything spontaneously. You owe everyone 48 hours notice. What should you do if your kid is in the hospital and you have to go see him today? Oh, if you go two days later, you'll still make the funeral.

And we all know that the disabled have really cushy ceo jobs that mean they could go wherever they want in limos and helicopters.

Spent a long time in a chair.. Was lucky to work my way out of it.. Then I went blind and recovered.. But even now I flop around with two cains..

Traveled all the time.. If I don't plan ahead, nothing ever went right.. Even with the cains I defer to others.. They have time to react.. And they defer to me.. Most offten I get where I'm going as fast or faster without beeing rude..
