I feel bad for people with disabilities, but now when they take advantage of it to try and get hand-outs. I used to see people ll the time on the corner or on the bus begging for money because they are blind or deaf. But I have a cousin who is deaf, and he learned sihn language, went to college and has a successful carreer. All it really means is that you have to work a little bit harder.

Everyone feels sorry for them because they expect people to feel sorry for them. but if they would quit feeling sorry for themselves, they could do just about anything that anyone else could to.

I used to feel bad for them, then I realized that the only ones I was feeling bad for were the ones that WANTED me to. The ones who live on others sympathy, because of their 'grief'.


Most disabled people live normal lives and don't want/need help from others. I like those people. 🙂 🙂 🙂

I have decided, after several years working in the wireless phone industry, that people believe all wireless phone companies are evil and are trying to screw them in some way, regardless of the presence or absence of facts to support their argument.

I am almost 100% positive that the reason people like the one you mentioned voice these completely ridiculous concerns, which they honestly care nothing about in their daily lives, is to try to support their crazy theory that you, a wireless phone salesperson, are the most evil person on the planet.

Tell him that he needs to take it up with the phone manufacturer, not you or Verizon/Cingular/T-Mobile/Sprint/Other.
