Question by JeeVee: Dealing with people who claim disabled people are rude or neurotic?
In what’s suppose to be a class of adults we have a couple of individuals sniping at another person who is disabled claiming if she talks about her problems she’s “whiny” “rude” or “neurotic” whereas if they do they’re being “normal”.

The victim of their bullying even showed them a medical certificate to prove they have a problem and was clearly limping during an recent sciaitic attack.

The bullies apparently believe “nice normal people” are the only ones who deserve help and one of them is so bitchy instead of graciously taking a brochure when the disabled person who can only work limited hours was asking people to pass on brochures for her online art business from which incidentally she passes on half the proceeds to charity … well they practically threw the brochure back at her.

Both of the bullies have incomes three to four times higher than the disabled person and one of them owes two houses!

That’s been my experience with most normal people. Of course they are not all like this but most of them do not like to listen to what is happening with our bodies or the amount of pain we’re in but if they get so much as a tiny cold they moan and groan and act like they’re dying or it is the end of the world and that we should drop everything that we are doing to listen to their problems. What’s funny is that, if they experienced even half of the pain (or less than half of the pain) that we deal with on a daily basis, they’d probably go into shock and would never make it out of bed.

They don’t realize how much strength and drive it really takes to go to work on a daily basis or to even get up out of bed to make it to the restroom, or even to make it the store some days. They don’t realize how little we really complain, compared to the amount of pain we’re in or how often we must deal with it. Nor do they realize just how much personal management and effort it takes to get through the tasks that they can do with little to no effort and I truly believe that they do not want to recognize the truth. I think that most people are happy with their simplified view of their own world and don’t want to know the real complexities of ours. They don’t want to know because then they would have to care, and they don’t want to deal that. So they use the denial system and refuse to acknowledge its existence. Maybe it’s selfish, maybe it’s not, who knows. That is just the way things usually work out.

It’s claimed, around one in ten soldiers who go to the frontline will develop problems with their hearing and as operations intensify in Afghanistan, so too are the number of troops suffering some kind of deafness. To tackle the problem, The Army’s developed new ear defenders that protect the ear, but still allow soldiers to hear their commands. But according one Tory MP and former Army Officer, it’s already being used by the Americans and it’s come too late to save countless careers.

I asked Fremont Sheriff Len Humphries, “You nearly have a cold case on your hand, but what do you think happened? “I think that Albert has been picked up by someone. We speculate whether or not it was a chance pickup or whether or not he made arrangements for someone to pick him up,” said Humphries. Law Enforcement have just conducted a 3rd and final sweep of St. Anthony in their search for Albert Nelson. And they’ve administered polygraph tests to North Fork management. “Polygraphs have not been completed, the ones that are completed have come back truthful, so the people we interviewed are telling the truth,” said Humphries. I asked, “Why choose to do a polygraph?” Humphries answered, “It was a recommendation from the Tri-County sheriff’s investigators that came up to assist us last week. It’s basically to rule out any possibility of foul play.” Foul play that may have led to Albert’s disappearance, or explain why Albert’s fan and Maverik mug, items he was never seen without, were left behind. Taking action for you I spoke with Dave Parke and asked him if he was at fault ? “No. No. There’s nothing in the plan that would indicate that we should be doing anything other than what we were doing,” answered Dave Parke. Park’s plan mandates a live-in house mother at all times for monitoring. Former caretaker Tana Poulsen, explains why she believes Albert didn’t just walk away on his own. “When I was working Albert, he had Varicose veins and problems with circulation in his …

this is my retarded cat Mongoloid. we all loved mongoloid very much. The other kitties in the vid are his brothers and sisters from the same litter to give you an idea of the difference in size/shape/etc

From what I understand, this is the 13th track on No Sun Today. It is often called “Extra Track”, but after listening to the rest of the album, my guess is that it is a live piano version of “The Down Syndrome” with some lyrical difference. Also, if you listen in from 1:05 to 1:25, the band is arguing. I figured out how to put up a picture! YAY! I hope you enjoy!
