Have you ever watched the Paralympics, or para-sport? You'd realise the broad spectrum of disability then...and I think those people have been represented in Big Brother certainly and soaps to an extent. There should be more disabled people on TV and in the media than there are at the minute yes, but all this about people in wheelchairs is nonsense :shrug: there's more to disability than a bloody wheelchair

If I'm correct Jack don't they have a Football section for blind people at the Paralympics? and god knows how many deaf people, wheelchair bound people, or god knows what other disabled people take part in the Paralympics so they're not that underrepresented.
And to The Truth, I agree with you on the NHS actually as they lied about what my Grandad died of 11 years ago soon to be 12 years ago which is strange, they are an incompetent Hospital that needs a lot more funding from the Government, otherwise anytime one of us get's a lethal illness like cancer we'll be 99.99% guaranteed to die from it. However where your point is going wrong is when you are trying to prioritize one view over another just because you like one group of people but don't like the other, imo everyone should be equal but obviously it will take time as you've got to help one group at a time, it's not so easy as to "oh we're gonna make disabled people equal today." It just doesn't work that way, a sad fact but it's true enough. |
