Why is it when your on the internet (in a forum or chat room) and your talking about something and you speak of being disabled, that people that don't like what you have said instead of debating the issue they rip into your disability? That is what is wrong with the world nowdays everyone seems to be a jerk.

Hi,

You are not speaking about our chat room or boards are you?

We try to moderate, so if there is an issue let me know.

Otherwise, I would say,people do not get it at all.

lol no rich not here. here is the only forum that we can feel safe from it. i was reffering to everyday chat rooms and forums online. instead of the topic at hand if they read that you say your disabled or about your disability ppl try to get under your skin by making wise cracks at ya. they did it this morning and just had to vent lol. ppl can be so juvinile at times.
thx for caring tho,
Daniel

Daniel,

Thanks. Good to know. But sorry to hear about ignorance. That is what awareness is all about. Educating and letting people know.

Be strong

Those people are cowards that hide behind a computer screen. They wouldn't have the balderos to say that to you in person. They are not worth your energy!

Yea i know they are. It just frustrates me that ppl are so insensitive. That is what is wrong with America it is so divided. I mean people are racist and rude to each other and in the long run if people don't change it will be geographical suicide. People need to band together and fight for the greater good and world peace not bicker and bitch at each other. If we spent half that energy into working to get rid of racism and bashing each other we would be on the right track. I just hope someday in my lifetime people will wake up. If not my lifetime at least my childrens lifetime. I admit i use to be insensitive but i'm going on 38 yrs old and wised up. We need to teach our children respect. When i was a kid i would not be able to walk if i did some of the things kids do today. Anyway it just made me mad yesterday and this seems to be the only sanctuary to go to that i know i can vent and people understand. So thanks for letting me vent i'm much better now.
Daniel
