I’ve had plenty of girls buy me a drink… I’m not stereotypically attractive but kind of a dirty hippy so but…. Ok wait I’m a dumb ass… d’Oh!!!

Yes, I think I would want to live.

I don’t think we can truly empathize with how strong our will to live is.

Also, I think questions like these tend to cause us to dehumanize folks with disabilities. (Edit: correction, I don’t think it’s the question that dehumanizes folks with disabilities, I think it is the thoughtless answer given by folks that tends to dehumanize)

Folks with disabilities absolutely can contribute to society. The most obvious example is Stephen Hawking. He could only move his eyeballs or something ridiculous like that, although I believe he did start off fully functional and slowly lost control of his muscles over time.

There’s the issue of ‘being a burden’ in family or caretakers, which is more an issue of health care in our society (USA here). It is not the fault of the disabled person that they need health care.

We are all a drain on society. No one lives in a vacuum.

No one is self sustaining, no one lives without the help from society without which we would all most likely die in a few weeks if not sooner.

Folks with disabilities are humans. It’s society’s job to take care of all humans. Period.

“If I died and went to heaven, I would sell my soul to the devil just for the chance to come back and stub my toe….” —— paraphrase from a line in a poem by Tim Seibles.

A hundred million dollars is 10% of one billion.

$100,000,000 is only ten percent of a billion dollars.

I personally, am a kind of guy who likes to walk around with ten thousand dollars cold hard cash. But I always keep it in my dirty socks so they will be sure to get foot fungus when they rob me.

And my feet get real sweaty, too.

Haha!

I line my socks with fake two dollar bills from the monthly potluck Alesha or whatever her name is always brings. I bring stuff sometimes, too.

Lol

Good for you I guess?

Can you not see that the people who are disagreeing with you are merely suggesting that it is not as black and white as it being the democrats fault, or the republicans fault, that perhaps there’s more to it than which corporate/aipac/billionaire donor football team you like?

The donor class owns both teams by the way.

It’s the corporate dems and the corporate republicans who are holding back progress… because of legal bribery - campaign donations….

By your logic, democrats blocked 100% of Biden’s agenda while he was in office.

Biden literally accomplished nothing during his administration, and even the dumb stuff that was passed has been clawed back already.

Obama has the record for deportations

You mean Romney care without the public option. Obamacare is more conservative than the actual republican plan…

When you get older, pretty sure you’re going to say the same thing….

“Man, the 2020’s were so nice, such a simpler time…. Back when genocide was in vogue and child molesters controlled the world.”

That hand is facing the wrong way, bot….

He was younger…. He wants to go back to a time when he was young and free perhaps

True 🦬

The kids who tease have severe insecurities, they are dodging and deflecting and pointing at other kids so that no one looks at them

They do not tease folks perceived as strong

It’s not worth it but give your kids whatever sheltered life you want

Look up cost of living back during the time you are thinking about and what the money used to be worth back then I guess

Yes eat beans and local meat, as a freegan I refuse to not eat meat

Instead of getting him 300$ shoes give him the choice of the cool shoes or the latest coolest video game or the shoes, or whatever hobby he enjoys…

Kids tease other kids because they themselves feel insecure… that’s literally all it is… if you need Nike shoes to feel secure you’re probably not a cool person anyways

This is all bullshit… if you live in grasslands, importing fresh produce from South America is not more green than just eating beef.

The details of my life are quite inconsequential, but since you asked…

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it’s breathtaking, I suggest you try it.
