jem1964: Sophie, you uncle is disabled for certain but...
to me he doent have a disbilty as he doesnt let it affect his life any more than he has too. He got back into his chair despite what they had done to him. I hope except for the indignity that there was no lasting harm to your uncle.
The ones with the disabilty are the one who are so small minded that they have to tip your uncle out of the chair. The scary part is we have no way of knowing of this disabilty until they let it show usually trying to hurt someone else for "fun" Just another form of bullying, making themsleves feel powerful when in truth they are the weak ones.
what is the solution, well wish we could wave a magic wand and solve the problem but sadly there will always be people with small minds, we just have to make sure that they dont get the last word, that human dignity shines through

Great post Jem, i think you're right, the people who tipped him out of his chair are the disabled ones, their disability is their lack of compassion and humanity, hopefully one day they'll overcome it.
Fine with me. it's mind rather than body that matters to friendship.
I certainly hold no malice against the disabled, I spent 5 years of high school pushing a lad with cerebral palsy to school and back.
It was always sad when we did things as a group which he couldn't join in with, but I have the upmost respect for him because never once did he disadvantage the rest of us through his disability. No resentment. No moronic whinging. A fine character indeed.

in my opinion,better to have more friends with a disability than to have countless friends who are not true and disrespect us at all..
alisha1985: please be honest i love making new friends who is nice to me i cant stand ones who are rude and make fun of people
I'm a physically disabled person on a chair and I do have mobility issues. There are places I can not go and there are things I'd like to do but can not. In my country accessible infrastructure is still a huge problem but I feel the biggest issue is the mindset of some people (this includes some us who have disability themselves). I do have some very good friends and also meet many people who seem to behave as if they are seeing an alien. I try not to let it affect me and do what I can do and go where I can go. I realize my practical limitations and I accept that but still I don't expect anyone to treat me differently or be extra nice to me. I actually get very uncomfortable if someone is extra nice to me.
As it is often said, the only disability is a bad attitude.
Cheers,
Anjan
I would treat people with handicaps the same way I would treat normal people. No exceptions. Be my friend and I would be yours.
i would love to be friends with a disabled persons and hopefully a lot more. a girl is a girl is a girl. they are all fair game. her disability would not define her. might be even be some extra excitement and fun at night who knows. it all adds to the flavour
TereVr: To regain your strength, give all your problems to God and he will take care of you.
Men are men. They are not perfect but you need to forgive them for hurting you so deeply and move on with your life. That's what I am trying to do here. Men took advantage all the time. You just choose the wrong types of men. Go to plAces where they have good solid strong and independent men who cares about his family.
Once you forgive them, you will feel better, so burden-free and troublesome-free. I guaranteed you that. Just try and just go with the flow. Let God guide you.

samu20002: dnt thnk of it as a a disability. Its mr of an "ability". Bcz it wl hlp u pick out d ppl dat realy lv ya. real frndz r hard to find. If sum1 isnt bothrd abt yo"disability". Then u knw u got sumthng real.
not to be rude but could you post that in english please
Im friends with many people
And people comes in many colors, shapes , and eachone with different 'features'
Saying that ' I have friends with disabilities' doesn't make me a better person. I shouldn't even point out the difference... we're friends, right?

Dont think of it as a disability. Its more of an "ability". Because it will help you pick out the people that really love you. Real friends are hard to find. I someone isnt bothered about your "disability". Then you know you got something real.

It was 1981, we met over class full of hyper 5 year olds, I was shy, she had the biggest smile. I was crying and she came to me and said stop crying your in big school now. So I whipped my eyes in my jumper for fear she would give out to me again. We sat down chatted and laughed were still laughing, im 36, shes real old 37
she would kill me now reading this. She had/has a disability you see.
nah it never came into play ever, she never let her disability rule her or label her. She has lived a very active life in every way, had two children, runs four successful business's which she owns. So in my experience I am pleased to have such a person in my life and in a lot of ways I was more disabled than she ever was. I hide behind insecurities where she always felt and wanted to prove herself.
Disability comes in different forms. In reality, we are ALL disabled. However, check the disability to see if it is one you can live with. I don't think it is a crime to admit inability to cope with a friend's disability. Rather that than raise their hopes then betray it.

An honest statement, that after re-reading several times, I cannot fault you for. You stated a blunt honesty that you feel, that in reality, showed a degree of concern towards the person. To instill false hope and friendship if one cannot commit fully towards the friendship, is a cruel form of betrayal. Your statement suggests that you are being true to yourself and the other person involved. I do not judge you based upon this stance and postulation, but rather, that you honestly put forth your feelings....nice to meet you sir.

Me? I do not think anything about being friends with someone.....either they are or they are not. I laughed a bit at the term "disability",....for you never described what you deemed to be a disability,....you assigned no parameters,....you simply allowed people to formulate in their minds what disability meant to them,....an interseting poll! ;-)
One of my best friends is a quadriplegic. He works as an accountant and is one of the most upbeat people I ever met. Same as this guy...

Let see if this works 
Welcome to CS, and if you actually get right down to it, we all have disabilities. We all can learn a lot from each other, friends are friends, but true friends love you for you no matter what!!!!
When I worked at a grocery store, the best comeback I heard from a gentleman in a wheelchair was when he accidently bumped into a lady and she said a few not so nice words, his reply was, I maybe in this wheelchair, but at least I have more class in this chair, then you do in your shoes. I had to think about it, then I got it. I walked over to her and said, well now, all that education and you still, you still don't have any class, I suggest you get your money back. My boss laughed so hard, because this woman was THE poster child for rudeness.
have a great night OUR NEW FRIEND!!!!! Big hugs!!!
