i would really appreciate it if this thread is gonna stay up that we all should use the word HANDICAPPED instead of CRIPPLE. cos the latter is kinda inappropriate. THANKS Y"ALL

a handicapped man asked you out? aint you a man yourself, or is the handicapped man gay? i dont think there's anything wrong even if you were a female and he asked you out i mean everyone is entittled to his or her own right and i think he has the right to love and ask someone out even if that person aint his class

sorry about that i saw the post above mine and thought it was the one who posted ths thread that was why i asked if you werent a man yourself

yeah i figured.

so you saw it huh? and i meant to type sorry not soor

What good will that do? Colouring the word aint gon make him less crippled. Unfortunately, he's crippled and have to accept that.

nobody ever said saying he was handicapped as opposed to cripple would make him walk again and nobody said he hadnt accepted it. but then u forget that terminologies make a lot of difference. saying someone is intellectually challenged doesnt mean he is dumb does it.

miss rhodalyn no harm done at all. its one of them things.

Discrimination against the disabled  is an ugly truth we see in our society everyday  .
Alas being disabled is not by choice or a matter one should make fun of  .
If you don't want to go out with a disabled guy, so good and fair, thats your free choice,
But why bring it up here in a forum to make fun of the disability of other persons.?
Me thinks this to be the most wicked thread of all , makes me want to puke  

awww you're been so damn sweet hope you aint one yourself
i do agree with you looks like the disabled do not have a chance with the abled thats sad but thats how it is i wish it wasnt but then it is

ohh i just realized it' you up there bunkbobo, how're you doing?

i'm not but i know people who are. and they dont act any different from some who aint

Roddy dear[Rhodalyn],
i'm fine and i am against any form of discrimination against any body, be it for reasons of his physical, social, economical or political disability.
I feel so sad that someone could talk of a cripple as not being a human being fit for loving, forgetting that most people who became cripples in their later years were never born cripples, it could happen to anyone.yes including her!

well///i always say listen to ur heart and use ur head, if u like him enof to go out wid him, do it, if u dnt,dnt let guilty conscience, ride u
girl, jus pray to God he'll tell u wat2 do

must_a_far:

imagine going for a job interview or somn. and while waiting for your interviewer u see this handicapped fellow walk into the room. filled with life and all cheerful. but we all couldnt keep our thoughts to ourselves and kind of laughed enough for him to notice and know it was because of him. he didnt say nohin and just walked. u're called in by the interviewers assistant and voila u walk in to find the so called CRIPPLE is your interviewer and your potential BOSS. PAY BACK IS A BITCH! he has the choice to hire u or let u walk. what do u think he'd do? HIRE U OR LET U WALK?

hire me. . . . i thought we were nigerians here. . .you know. . .quick on our feet

- this really means we are fast thinkers

You walk in, shake whatever hand the man has available, and say, wow, I must say my friends and I could not help but be amazed at your positive outlook on life. Clearly, this is a great place for me to work. So, here is my resume, should I sit here?

Honey most people on here are so up tight it's like the have a bomb up their you know what waiting to explode.

It's not cool to make fun of handicapped people though, I thought I get that pointed out before I get yelled at.

umm. . yes, if you say someone is intellectually challenged, you are using fancy words to call the person an idiot.

Am I uptight? If you say so. You do know me so well. And here I thought I was just saying critiquing comedy, but little did I know Silly me. Perhaps next time I should end my post w/ "I'm very cool w/ jokes, I thought I should point that out before I get *yelled* at or pigeon holed." Next time then.

Now, educate me, who was yelling?

Oh my God, honey you taking it all wrong.I was agreeing with you  . Now you making me feel bad. And no you not uptight for all I know.You know what I meant by being uptight right? and what do you mean by pigeon holed, was it something I said ?

Apparently I'm very confused & I've just embarrased myself. *Sigh* K, I'm over it. Best to all! And to TxLonghorn for the misunderstanding.

Honey we cool.Love to my Texas cuties

@ spikedcylinder,

pu it the other way round and lets imagine u are the crippled one here. will it be "right" for a handsome none crippled guy to ask u out?

I mean, u marry for love init? Then u cant blame the crippled for loving u, its an 'equal opportunities age'

lmaoooooooo

I have never seen/heard such in my life but I can't blame u 4 d way u reacted.
It's totally natural.

It's hard to go with a crippled soul but who knows what love can do?

SweetnSour:

I think your Freudian slip says what other people on this thread are thinking SweetnSour. But it is wrong, however unintentional. The man was physically handicapped, he did NOT have a "crippled soul".
There's a difference. Or didn't you know that?


* Freudian slip* (noun)
: a slip of the tongue that is motivated by and reveals some unconscious aspect of the mind

thot i was the only one that feels like this but whether cripple or not. the most important thing is "TO SEARCH FOR THE FIRE THAT BURNS WITHIN"

How true chinani [claps]

Unfortunately, most people with some kind of handicap have been hurt through their lives by people's attitudes towards them (like in this thread for instance). I believe that must affect most of them in SOME way. It takes an emotionally strong person to react to that in a positive way. Having said that, one of the most beautiful women I know (inside and outside) is handicapped. She's married (to a handsome man), has children, and lives a fulfilling life. The first time I saw them, I thought, "Oh she's so lucky!". Later I realized she was no luckier than he was. Any man would be proud to have her as his wife.

@thekrafter, as someone who once loved a handicapped, I appreciate what you mean. People should be judged as a whole not on only one aspect.

& What matters most, is what is inside.

Focus on the inside and weigh all positives against the negatives. You may find that you could live comfortably with the disability (or even enjoy it, yes, at least the prospects of his cheating may be reduced).

i think stormz is the most goodlookin creation on earth!

cripple or nt cripple love dont see that ok! jt follow ur heart.
