One of my sons has a genetic disorder that caused one of his legs to grow without a lymphatic system, so his body cannot easily move fluids out of that leg. When he does move around, it is at a normal pace, but if he does too much, fluids can pool in his leg and he can develop ulcers on his skin. You'd be amazed by the number of rare conditions that are out there. Sure, they could have been faking, but they--as you or I--deserve a little grace and an assumption that they are not there to stiff you.<br /><br />As to fat people not walking, let me tell you that, once you get heavy enough, even walking can be painful. I was nearly 350 lbs. when I first tried to lose weight by walking, but I fould that it was too painful to walk more than short distances. After years of losing about 10 lbs. a year, I plateaued for a while, but I built some strength. Just this year, I started a Couch-to-5k running program (thus my moniker).<br /><br />During the intervening years, I had a surgical procedure that left me unable to walk any distance for a time. I had to use one of those scooters when I shopped, and I saw all of the sideways glances and dirty looks. Rather than being so angry and judgmental, why not first consider whether you should focus your energy on addressing your own shortcomings, and then extend courtesy and compassion to those around you. It really would make the world a better place.FatManRunninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08560610681483078527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157023399880137603.post-65903246597610940922009-10-20T12:56:35.784-07:002009-10-20T12:56:35.784-07:00This is one thing that gets to me more than most!!...This is one thing that gets to me more than most!!<br />My dad is disabled, walks with crutches all day every day (he broke his back, literally) so when we went to orlando disney he got a wheelchair because its too damned far to walk all day for someone like him. So I can't stand peopel who use them just because they are fat, or tired, or have sore legs. Get some freaking exercise!<br />Don't een get me started on how hard he finds it to get a disabled parking space because people use them all when they are fully able...Quinciferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17180425604290616756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157023399880137603.post-45042996505757643222009-10-20T11:21:58.852-07:002009-10-20T11:21:58.852-07:00Ohh these people ARE annoying.

One minute you have 1 person in front of you the next you have 12 because their family and friends just appeared from no where!

It is surely a sight to see how in America we cater to people that surely should need to get some exercise, but clearly never do.

What about those people who are perfectly fine, healthy and ok but whenever they're out they open the glove box, take out the handicapped permit and park in the best spots.<br /><br />I knew and saw kids doing this all the time in college. Many said they took their parents' or grandparents' disabled tag to get the 'perks'.Dave "Loose Cannon" Willshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990175509757899683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4157023399880137603.post-88598077739156325812009-10-20T05:40:43.146-07:002009-10-20T05:40:43.146-07:00Those sorts are a bunch of assholes...
