hmm. how about if we all agree to not allow disabled people to do some stuff? I'm all for equal rights and all, and I believe the disabled should be able to do whatever they want. but you know, there should be time when the able-bodied people can get away from the disabled and all that having to feel guilty stuff. and there's some stuff we should only let the able-bodied do.
seem ridiculous? mean-spirited? read your post again, dork.
and seriously, you think it's ok for college athletes to benefit financially? you perhaps are missing the point of COLLEGE athlete - since only a few of them get to go be pro players. my beloved Tressel disappointed me greatly and it was right to fire him. But that doesn't mean the silly boys who broke the rules shouldn't bear the consequences of breaking the rules.
I forgot how much fun it is to be your sister. :-)
Because of the holidays, or more honestly because of a lot of holiday football. I really haven't thought of posting a blog in a while. I wasn't sure what I was going to write but I want to get back into the habit so I logged in and did my usually futile check to see if any comments had been left. Well, lo and behold, a comment was left.
Until I read the last line I thought it was a serious response and was going to respond in kind. Now that I strongly suspect that it was my sister I suspect it's a tongue in cheek response. However, from what I know of my sister it's highly possible that she wrote the response after she was able to beathe again.
So I'm going to respond as I would have.
If a group of people want to not allow disabled people to do something that is their right. If a potential boss doesn't want to hire a disabled person to do a job they would be capable of doing that should be their right. Unless, the laws have changed I believe a potential boss has to hire a disabled person over an abled bodied person if the disabled person can do the job.
Sorry, but that is not right. I'm sure some people will be surprised I am saying that but I think people have forgotten we are supposed to be a free country and an employer should not have to hire anyone they don't want to. For whatever reason.
On a little bit of a side note NFL and MLB owners should NOT be forced to interview a person of a minority group before hiring a coach or manager. Again, personal choices.
I seem to be a person people don't like to be around. I say that because a lot of people have left my life voluntarily. Yes, some had valid reasons but some just went poof. A person should not hire me or be a part of my life just because I'm disabled. Again, it's supposed to be a country where we are allowed to make choices.
The truth is I have opportunities to join disabled support groups and I have chosen not to because I am (believe it or not) uncomfortable to be around disabled people. Should I be forced to join those groups if they might do me good? I don't think so.
Sorry, but I don't think I should have to listen to a female broadcaster , deal with people I don't want to or (frankly) wear a seat belt if I don't want to. I like having personal choices and individual liberties. It's supposed to be a free country but there are to many laws and regulation designed specifically limit choices and liberties.
Can you guess what group of people I blame for that?
ps--I hope the next President and Congress kills Obamacare before it cost the country too much $$$.
