So making fun of a physical disablity is wrong in a forum where physical ablities have no meaning or bearing on a person's ablity to express themselves in this place, but to make fun of or even hate rant on someone for sharing a very strong cognitive disorder that affects a person's ablity to read and write is not only encouraged, but practice by all but a hand ful of members here?

Riddle me this? where does hyprocrisy rate one the moral scale you all seem to be using? Must be pretty low. Makes one wonder who's really the blind one(s) around here.

Yes.

I'm not aware of having done this, nor am I aware of anyone else who's criticized your recent comment having done so.

Most likely it's the one who mistakes evil for good and vice versa.

@ Drich: The OP didn't ask to be blind. You, however, are willfully mentally handicapped, and therefore deserve everything you get.

So BQ92, do you or have you ever had a guide dog?

There's a chap who has a guide dog who gets on the train at my station and I've seen people stroke his dog. I've always thought it wrong to interfere as they perform a pretty vital task, but never had any clear clarification on it.

Interested to hear your thoughts.

See every comment following yours for the examples you seem to be oblivious of.

Actually it's just rebecca carrots comments

I'm not aware of MYSELF having done this, therefore rendering your accusations of hipocrisy moot, at least in my case. You have a problem with someone else? Take it up with them.

My friend Jessica has a great dog and usually I don't pat Pippin unless his harness is off, or we're just sitting in the car or something like that. It's usually not a good thing for strangers to touch the dog but usually if you're a close personal friend the person won't mind too much.

My mobility unfortunately is not good enough for me to have a dog. Guide dogs are for people who've progressed past the use of a cane. I will probably never reach that point. Not to mention it's expensive and time-consuming to do the training since you have to start from puppyhood. I'm already taking off school to learn braille I don't want to have to also take off school to train a dog.

Really? This more-than-a-year-old post is an example of where I've made fun of you? I was under the impression that I was simply stating why I don't read or respond to the vast majority of your posts. By your own admission, you don't use spell-check to correct your mistakes, which you could do, if you chose to do to improve the readability of your posts.

From that, the reasonable conclusion is that your posts are the way they are not because of any cognitive deficit, but because you don't give a fuck.

The thing is I've got blind a blind person in my extended family, and while your right about the cane, blind people are not responsiable for training the dogs. Matter of fact i live 3 miles from a guide dog training center. Outside the up keep for the dog (which can be supplmented) if you need a dog one can be provided at little to no cost.

If anything the only training needed is the use and care for the dog.

I can get you a number if you want it.
