When I broke my leg and was in a wheelchair for a cpl of months, I soon discovered how many public places were inaccessible for those with disabilities ..... Frankly it's disgusting

Yes agree. It should be standard everywhere.

How is this current? This has been the way since time began.

Obviously you have no idea of how much discrimination people with disabilities are subject to. And not just the wheelchair access; that's the tip- of the iceberg.

I should be sued.

I brought my new wheelchair home from my daughter's place tonight and my doorways were too narrow.

I had to fold it up to get it in the house.

Fat lot of good that will do me when I actually need it 24/7

Well Dave, shouldn't things get better.
I actually do know about the disabled but you're the type that whatever I say I'm wrong.
I see you just being annoying in threads all the time.
Why don't you get an actual hobby because you're obviously crying out for something to do

You have no idea. You seem to have a significant level of paranoia, though.

Unlike you, I have firsthand experience in people with physical disabilities. I don't however resort to PMs trying to belittle others.

I guess that's the difference - what you see is what you get. With me. With you it seems to be outrage at any and everything that you only have a theoretical knowledge of. To quote you - you are a bleep.

Don't care Dave.
You know only what I've said here of my life so how do you know exactly what I know?
You can't ever know what I don't put here Mr know it all

So according to you I don't know anything.
No worries.
You're a genius and I'm a nothing.
I get the message.
Catch you on the flip side genius

I am only technically a genius.

I don't, however, PM other members spewing vitriol. Nor claim knowledge I don't have.

That's so funny Dave, all my life experiences are only theory but obviously all yours are practical yet we live in the same dimension.
How is that so.
Please tell me

In the world of disabilities Dave has very extensive knowledge and experience.

I would suggest you do not make yourself look any more foolish than you have already have.

Those of us who know Dave would back him over you on this subject Martin.

Martin sometimes you come across as intelligent and interesting, others you're like a 6 year old stamping its feet.

Just don't shoot from the mouth so much and wait a while . And DON't take things so personally.

You will be far more credible that way.
