Things like that really annoy me.

[Sly]

LOL. Oh man.

[Rochard]

Sorry, just because your disabled doesn't mean you have the right to use every service in the world. At the end of the day someone needs to say "Sorry, we are a small business, and we can't afford $200k for a fucking elevator so you can reach the second floor".

If your disabled, you know your going to be limited in what you can do.

Really? Had no idea.

Indeed, but will that hold up in court?

Mind you I am in 100% agreement with you... but American Courts can be pretty fucked up

What elevator are you buying that cost $200,000? And what law says that a small-business needs to install this imaginary $200,000 elevator?

This guy is an ambulance chaser, nothing more. The core of the law is not unreasonable, the exploitation of the law is.

America is on the lookout for the dumbest, dirtiest, laziest nastiest mother fucker... and if he can't be found in the US, they will look the entire world over, bring the cock sucker here and legislate us to 'his' level so the poor bastard won't feel 'unequal or bad about himself' ... you know that, right?

[Dead]

I am happy that some people still have scruples and do not expect the system to save them at every adversity they experience , we all face obstacles in life. This is being tested everyday. Pride is a wonderful thing to have and can not be taken or profited from......

[DaddyHalbucks]

Hmmm, is there any connection to California being broke?

[Sabby]

It pays to piss someone off....

You want to kill me you'll go to jail... disable me somewhat I can get fat sit arround and collect... who's in?

Where I live, they built a cctv monitoring office in the police station that was meant to give meaningful employment to the disabled. The problem was it was on the 3rd floor. No elevators.

[bronco67]

I'm all for making things better for the disabled, but basic lack of common sense in the US is fucking getting out of hand. This kind of mentality is going to be our downfall.

Actually it already has killed us.

If you run a public business, aren't you required by law to make your business accessible to handicap people?

I know a friend of mine owns a business locally and he decided to install four large freezers - like you where you buy frozen food at your grocery store.... And once he got everything installed he was told during an inspection that he had to increase the number of handicap parking spaces because his business was now considered a grocery store. Does anyone have any idea how much it costs to hire a firm to plan out how to re-arrange two hundred parking spaces, no less how much it costs to get it done?

And don't get me started on the handicap plates. My buddy is considered "100% medically retired" by the federal government. He can walk fine. He has "headaches". He doesn't need a handicap plate. And oddly enough, seems to me like everyone who has handicap plates seems to walk fine. If your not in a wheel chair, you don't need handicap plates.

lucky me !

wheelchairs FTW

Same thing here in the UK.

Which meant that places which had a step up to the door which I could manage suddenly were forced to have a ramp instead. No thought to the need for a handrail if you stick a ramp there so the accessibility improvements actually made things worse.

Demanding things like low mirrors in washrooms so you can check you are still as ugly as you were 5 minutes ago is unnecessary. Where does it go next - demanding shops don't have anything on a high shelf that you can't reach because you are too fucking lazy to ask a member of staff if they could reach it for you?

[k0nr4d]

damn, sounds like im better off crippling myself and moving to california then I am doing web dev. I'm sure one can find a dozen places a day to sue

[k0nr4d]

What about children? What if a child cant see themselves in a mirror or can't reach a coat hanger? That is discrimination too

[xmas13]

[Sabby]

I wonder how low the mirrors are a this place?



The owner is Jason Acuña AKA Weeman

[Tom_PM]

"The first real laws in the United States protecting citizens with disabilities against discrimination was part of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which made discrimination based on race, religion, sex, national origin, and other characteristics illegal. In 1990, President Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act and was later amended with changes that went into effect January 1, 2009. Previous to these laws, Americans with disabilities had absolutely no laws giving them rights to accessible parking and entrances."



That page does read like an ambulance chaser though. A little extreme I think to sue for 4 grand because you couldnt see your face in a mirror.

[Vendzilla]

go to walmart and see how many fat people park in the handycap parking and walk over and get a electric cart. Hell if they parked at the other end of the parking lot and pushed their carts, they would be better off

[Sarah_Jayne]

When my first husband was in a chair it wasn't the places without elevators that made things hard. Instead it the stores whose doors had just that little step up which meant he couldn't get in without getting out of the chair.
