I have spent much of my career as a doctor working with disadvantaged patient groups — the mentally ill, in paediatric palliative care, geriatrics, in outreach programs, in drug clinics and with the homeless. Many of these people are desperately in need.
Only a few weeks ago, a patient spat and then threw a chair at me because I had the audacity to suggest that if he continued to inject himself with heroin every day, despite being in treatment for more than two years, he should be discharged from my care and that this might affect his benefits.
‘They can’t stop my money,’ he shouted. ‘I’ll just go thieving.’
But I am sick and tired of seeing fit and healthy people who choose not to work, who refuse to take menial jobs because of a false sense of entitlement, while there are poor, needy and desperate individuals working hard but having to rely on meager handouts and struggling to pay basic bills
This is the kind of hyperbole that causes people to ignore you, hosepipe, and I know you better than that.

That’s why I know you better than that...and consider you a FRiend. :^)
(Don’t steal my parking spot.....lol)
I'd hit it.
Looks more like a suppository.
Indeed. Gives new meaning to “Gonna put a cap up your a$$.”
And you are blowing smoke out your butt. I’m done with this conversation.
My problem with all this is how, if some people are handicapped and need to be able to park close to the store or mall, are they able to walk all over the store and mall for hours without any problem?
I have had 15 surgeries on my feet, both hips and the right knee fixed and still I don’t have a handicapped sticker. I think they should be saved for people who really can’t walk.
The worst one I saw, was a guy and his wife used to come to the Y, park in a handicap space, and then run in and do a high intensity dance class.
Mississippi is one of the worst states. They’ll give them to anybody.
LoL...

I love it when freepers get pissed off...
I can be damn hard to piss a conservative off..
heres a smoke ring for you..
You didn’t upset me with your dumb post. I just have better ways to spend my time.
Interesting.
Shall we play a game?
Spot the troll, perhaps?
Twisted comeback. One wonders the genesis of the outrage.
I get it now.
Handicapped people without obvious problems (a short list, not all-inclusive):
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Heart problems
Arthritis
Bad hips
Bad knees
Blindness
Amputee
Many more.
This does not excuse the fact that there are many that abuse the system so they can park up front.
