What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Tired of shameless cynical corruption. Half the handicap-stickered cars are driven and parked by able-bodied scammers, in my neighborhood. A small thing, but I find it repugnant.
I have a degenerated disk, severe asthma, and I am photosensitive (skin burns with short exposure to sun). I qualify for disabled parking by three separate disabilities but to most people I 'look' "able bodied" when I get out of the car. Not all disabilities are visible.
That's cool. And thanks for the reminder. I recognize that I can't judge accurately at a glance. But many people knowingly abuse the system ... it's more a rant about growing cynical gamesmanship and increasing shamelessness in society.
The flip side is how many people are honest and keep their integrity even without external rewards.
Hell, there's also the fact that every damn store has 3-4x the number of HC spaces necessary, like they're ready for the 100-year handicapped shopping event I guess.
Ha, ha, yes! I guess we are supposed to be grateful that it's not illegal to use the handicapped toilet stalls.
Too many laws.
That will surely come with phone tracking everything
This is just one example of corruption by a thousand small cuts. They keep changing the definition of what being handicapped is, until it becomes so subjective that able-bodied people can get away with it.
Indeed. These that I've been noticing lately are hospital employees who don't want to buy a monthly parking pass, but they all know doctors who sign off for them. Of course that's speculating. But I see that they park all day on the metered parking in front of the retail businesses, because they're exempt from meters. Some days I've seen 3 straight city blocks of uninterrupted HC plates. Oh well. God will account for those who need to be judged.
