Why can't Hellen Keller jump out of an airplane?
It scares the **** out of her dog.

Too bad, how sad. It's not your call to make. I would suspect if she was still alive and read this thread, she'd object more to your reaction than che's use of her imagery for a socialist cause.Originally posted by Ben Kenobi
I'm just sick of people using her either as a model or for their own causes.I'm consitently stupid- Japher
I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- NedComment

Seriously, doesn't the fact that people from the left, center, and right find your attitude totally off the wall give you even a moment's pause?!I'm consitently stupid- Japher

ben didn't know that Keller was a socialist? You must be joking. Many people with disabilities are on the left. It may have something to do with their increased awareness of inequality. Ben should be happy though, since disabled people tend to be vociferously anti abortion for much the same reason.Only feebs vote.Comment

Well let's see.Seriously, doesn't the fact that people from the left, center, and right find your attitude totally off the wall give you even a moment's pause?!
1. At any given moment I can usually count on 60-80 percent of people disagreeing with me on no matter what the topic will be. Just the name is enough for most.
2. Of that 60-80, assuming that 1/10 are disabled, that means that only about 2 percent of the posters on poly would have any clue about what it's like here.
I didn't really expect anyone to agree with me.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

1/10=10%... 10% of 60-80, IIRC, = 6%-8%.
Your math is as faulty as your reasoning.
And I don't need to be 'disabled' to know you're batsh!t crazy.

Ben Kenobi, if I'm getting it right you are hearing-impaired.
Well, you are bat**** crazy. I'm hearing-impaired (by birth) as well and it never struck my mind I am a disabled person in the first place. Not any more than someone who's wearing glasses.

Good for you. It seems Belgium is civilized in one aspect.Well, you are bat**** crazy. I'm hearing-impaired (by birth) as well and it never struck my mind I am a disabled person in the first place. Not any more than someone who's wearing glasses.
Of course. That's because disabled people don't all think alike.It seems that I have as much right of speaking as you do (by your own accord) and I'm absolutely fine with Chegitz using her image.
And by your token, you should also respect my opinion that it would not be ok to use her image.
You see how it works? I don't call you bat**** insane do I Colon?

Good luck Che!
You know, two weeks ago I ran for elections in my law school's Business Law Society. I tried for President, but I was defeated by a 1L student.
So then I ran for Secretary and I won.
...
And as I'm sure you'll appreciate, sometimes it's even better to be Party Secretary than to be President...
