Having had some experience of being diabilitated Id have to say that it was most common for the disabled fellas i knew to take the mick out of each other.If you cant laugh you go under pretty quick.That doesnt mean its ok for everyone t join in.

Suave the only thing i found offensive in what you said was that disabled or dihabilitated people dont make good pilots. How the F*ck would you know? ever met any disabled who fly?

Douglas Bader was a fantastic pilot in WW2 during the battle of britain and he had no legs.In fact it was suggested that due to the lack of limbs he could actually pull a greater 'G' than other pilots.His tenacity in dealing with the injuries also stood him in good stead to command in battle.It takes a hard headed personality to fight on when it all looks bleak.

I myself have been in a wheelchair for most of my life since a motorcycle accident at 18 years of age and yet ive done some 6 parachute jumps, flown gliders, sword fenced for my country and Ive even White water rafted the Sun Kosi river in Nepal(thats where mount everest is in case you are ignorent of that too ). We(5 of us in chairs +6 able bodied rafters) were the first disabled ever to do it. 270km of class 2 to 5 rapids. 10 days travelling down river and i almost drowned twice but luckily my strength in my hands saved me. I wouldnt be too sure that the average person who doesnt use his hands everyday for ballance and lifting etc could have held on the way i did.What have you done suave? anything worth a mention here?
You seem to be missing something out in your assessment of people suave. You fail to see what they have acheived simply by not giving up or into their disability and believe me not everyone handles it when the terrible events take place that change your whole life around.
The fact that whels has MD and he still gets on with life says a lot about his constitution and character.What have you overcome or coped with suave, that gives you the right to chastise whels for being slightly upset with you for making a dumb joke of his condition?

If i were you Id have just said sorry rather than call him an idiot.You see sometimes we can indeed laugh about things but other times things cut to the bone.Whels was probably caught on an off day when it 'gets to you' and may not have reacted that way if not for a mood hes in.Then again maybe hes seen what name calling does to the little kids who have MD? who knows? .I only hope you never have to experience what it feels like and im sure whels would say the same thing.He wouldnt wish it on his worst enemies.

Just show some respect for others feelings eh?
If you make a joke about missing limbs and a guy with 1 leg says it isnt funny a simple sorry isnt so difficult is it? I tell jokes about stuff ive been through but if they upset people i generally appologise.Not everyone deals with things in the same way.

Geez Hazed, you make me feel guilty for not using all my limbs to do all that stuff.

You certainly are an inpiration to people facing real challenges...makes everyday trials and tribulations seem meaningless.

to you!

hehe thats the rose coloured version I have my lazy side too!

In fact ask me to nip to the shops and im just as likely to say 'screw you'  than 'theres a challenge!' hehe. But thanks for .

My next big task im setting myself is sea kyaking. I'll first learn to master it then i'll look for something that hasnt been done and I'll do it. Generally guys oin my position seem to do these sorts of things to boost their morale every few years.I'd really recommend trying something yourself if you feel like you need a boost.
Try doing a tandem parachute jump for charity.You will be buzzing for weeks afterwards.


P.s. while we are on the subject of jokes I gotta tell you one of  my favourite jokes of all time:

'A man who paralysed from the waiste down?.....
PARAPLEGIC.
A woman whos paralysed from the waiste down?.....
MARRIED! '

hehe my mates in chairs love it too

Too go off on the use of the term "Jerry's Kid's" is just too damn good to pass up.  Especially in this playgound of a BBS.  So no, I don't think I will.

Had Suave posted about cleft-lipped building battlers, or leprotic shack smashers, or retarded fuel porkers, whels would not have said anything.  If you're gonna chime in, be consistent.  


Thanks for playing.

Damn Hazed...I gotta throw you a too.

You've done more than most people in the world have done.  I really admire that.

This comment was made on Channel One last night just as I was trying to land a damaged Seafire.  I laughed so hard I pranged it as a result.

Oh... so its allright to pick on poor ol lazs just because he isn't (too) retarted or crippled?

I have a limp ya know!   sometimes it is really noticable too!

No one cares that I cry myself to sleep at night over the cruel and insensitive things that are said about me on this board tho!
