Okay... not all of them, but sometimes.. I just can't help myself.
One time, I seen a guy with one leg come out of his house. I didn't think anything of it, until his three-legged dog hobbled out after him.
I lol'd
I'm never rude to them or anything, because I know it has to be a harsh and traumatic thing to go through.
But just sometimes...
still try not too, or at least not right at them.
like in borat when he says "you will never get this, you will never get this
and then he escapes, and get THAT"
lol
So as long as you're not taking it further like telling the guy he's a cripple and laughing directly at him, there is really no problem in chuckling a bit.
Cheers.
One day it may be u that looks like that.
Yo, wats up Barnum. Been a while huh ?
Peace Out

Did you point?
If so, you may have gone to far, unless you were pointing at the dog I guess.
Goddess, I must be a shoe in for apprval if folk can let bygons be...
@ Poster. Before you laugh at cripples, keep in mind that you may someday find yourself on the receiving end.
Word to the wise.

Women: The most amazing creatures on god's green earth. There are obvious exceptions to the rule - but generally I lay off them.
Cripple people: That shit will come back and bite you in the ass if you're not careful. I have a morbid fear of ending up in a wheelchair or without an arm or leg or some other horrible disfigurement. Crippled people are therefore off limits. I will not laugh at them or mock them. End of.
My bf tells me I look sexy. I pose for him occationally.

It's their fault for being crippled, my parents say.
I seen an old man on his mobility scooter totally topple over onto its side once it was the funniest thing I ever saw.
Well , they're allway's asking the "ABLED"
to treat them the same..
So i say why the fuck not , my grandad lost a leg in a motorcycle accident , and he say's if you can't take people rippin the piss out of you , you might aswell go and curl into a ball and die..
We all get the piss taken out of us in one way or another , weather its you're acne or you're lack of leg's.. , there shouldn't be limit's just because of some one's incapability's..
I treat all people the same..

Or just plain Retarded.. :)
Yeah, me. LOL.
But after reading the above post by Ploxcube, I think *I* was in error. Yes, go ahead and laugh at me and my chair - I am an equal and should be able to take it.
Of course, that being said, I hope that the rest of you aren't offened if I laugh at you, your looks, your choices of clothes or your (oftentimes questionable) parentage.

"It's their fault for being crippled, my parents say."
Wow. Just wow. I'd love to have been brought up by those people.
At least I don't think so.
I dunno, maybe it really was just the irony of the situation.
^^ alot of people responded to this..
craziness.
Same thing happened to me when I was 5 years old... because I was a kid!
Most people feel sorry for cripples I guess. But it has alot to do with what situation you're in.
Like if you're just walking down the street with a friend and suddenly there's someone walking past you looking like a pirate with his pegleg and god knows what. Would you say; "aww, poor guy."
Probably not. You'd laugh.
And the dog thing was kind of funny.
It's not that you find all people who are crippled hilarious (at least, I don't think you do) - it's more that you're laughing at that particular thing.
thats what i do.
and i pretend laughing at something else.
haha. i laughed at your post LMAO.
This person probably got the three legged down because he could understand and relate to the dogs situation, seeing how he as a person was also missing a leg.
One day you could loose a leg and you have to ask if you want to be laughed at or NOT!
Those of us who are disabled tend to get annoyed when people laugh. We might "accidentally" roll over your foot or something.

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. It is a nice way of saying my body is attacking my nervous system and I will have pain, paralysis, or other bad things like Vertigo. (Want to be scared, look that one up.)
--------------------------------
Well asshole, when I was working in a factory and I was really annoyed at all those fuckholes who were raising the companies insurance premiums for idiots having six children as I was only taking care of myself and my AUTISTIC son. I was trully pissed off spending $100 dollars a week to cover medical when I had nothing wrong with me.
THEN
I developed Multiple Sclerosis two weeks later. It wasn't MS yet, it was Transversive Milianitis (Mispelled, shutup.) and I could not work as I could not walk...AT ALL. I was this way for THREE MONTHS.
Afterwards, I went home to nothingness and had nothing to do, I missed work and LOVE TO WORK. I eventually after months of Physically Theropy I could start walking again and went back to work.
My black girlfriend who I loved left me because she couldn't stand with a guy who would become a cripple. I was truly alone. She didn't leave then, she left when I lost half of my face and couldn't talk right or chew food well. I thought it was really sad that I could not drink with a straw without holding my lips with my hands. In my profile, I went shooting with decent guns and I had to wear and eye patch as I physically could not move my eyelids to close them by themselves without the other.
A lot of other interesting shit happenes since then but the absolute WORST thing was Vertigo watered down version is here, I had all the symptoms and truly would have rather died than live like this and it lasted for THREE GOD DAMN MONTHS. I begged my family to let me die. HONESTLY, I BEGGED THEM and my girlfriend, fiance now, wouldn't let me go even knowing I was a man CRYING to let me go.
http://ms.about.com/od/signssymptoms/a/ms_vertigo.htm).
MS attacked my celebellum and it is still damaged. Even knowing I am better now, MS is a little fucked up illness like breaking a bone and it will never be 100% okay again. I am still in pain in my legs, expectually when I am tired and I am dizzy, very dizzy ever GOD DAMN TIME I lie down.
I do not fear dying as I know it will be a way out of being crippled later. Later, I know it will get so bad that I will lose the ability to walk, maybe my hands or even the ENJOYMENT (not desire or ability) to have sex.
Yes, with me, pain comes afterwards but it does tend to NUMB the area in which it attacks, hence me not feeling this or that for a while. And best of all, there is always a chance it MIGHT NOT COME BACK.
------------------------------------
Lastly, if your not a fucktard and actually read what I wrote, which I doubt. It all started because I made fun of those fucking useless imigrants at my job who had to come here and breed into a huge ass family they cannot afford.
I was pissed off and made fun of these assholes to get over my anger and I regret it. I have lost my faith in god (How can someone belive in him if they are suffering while asshole walk with everything for FREE what they cannot have and was denied in reseaving.)
I was wrong but that does not mean I have the right to sit by and accept assholes making fun of those who truly have it hard. Like October or even me. Different health problems but we both have suffered a great deal.
I'm not so pissed off at the writer of this (How the fuck did this one get approved yet some of mine don't?) as I am those who make fun of the Mentally handicap and so on.
My son is Autistic, I suffer inside seeing him struggling to understand things that come easy for me. I would gladly take his illness from him as I would rather suffer twice than watch him suffer once. How the hell is this funny.
Granted, I say the "retard" word often but not toward a disabled person but toward a person doing stupid shit. I say it to those who have no common sence and realise that they are truly lucky to be born in a civilized part of the world and still be functional as a person. A retard is nothing more to me than an inconsiderate fucktard who laughs at others misfortion instead of being happy they aren't them and respect the fact that they have opportunities that the disabled person may never get.
Sjaygee, SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU FUCKING RETARD.
Screw the ballbarings, could you please pray as I have no faith anymore that this a-hole gets a bad case of vertigo. It is far worse and then he will truly understand.
Thank you.
Give me a month and we will see.

You have no idea how hard this is to deal with as it is far worst than you can imagine.

Your idiously makes me cry, which is sad.
