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.
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.
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.
