[QUOTE=Powerbrah;42343449]murphy's law[/QUOTE] murphy's law is different from godwin's law
I remember seeing an entire family in which every member had an electric wheel chair each, going through the disabled line and then standing right up and into the ride. It's pretty sad to be honest how lazy some people can be.
[QUOTE=Fangz;42342330]People with Autism are not 'living vegetables'.[/QUOTE] Are people with Autism not capable of standing in line like everyone else? I'm all for making things easier for disabled people to access, that's cool. But using a disability like that to skip lines has always seemed weird to me. I could see if it it was some old woman with a bad hip and used a walker, or a guy with a prosthetic leg that didn't want to be in the wheelchair all day... But Autism? Down Syndrome? Blind? being slightly overweight? I've seen people that I would barely consider chubby "prove" they were unable to work and get disability benefits for being obese. Skipping lines for these reasons has always just seemed more fraudulent than anything to me And for a woman to take her kids to Disney World every week. I wonder who gets more enjoyment out of it, her kids or her Anyway, it just goes back to a saying that still rings true: If the public has access to it, it will eventually get ruined
[QUOTE=Rangergxi;42343025]Is this for all disabilities? I remember reading a couple of stories a while back about the rich paying handicapped people to go to Disneyland with them so that they could bypass lines.[/QUOTE] Yes, and this was done because of that.

Holy shit man what is wrong with you.

[QUOTE=borisvdb;42342992]I detest parents who spoil their kids, be they autistic or not. It teaches them bad values and is all around anti-proactive.[/QUOTE] [video=youtube;KmDGvquzn2k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmDGvquzn2k[/video] autism makes it very hard to fit in to society and do things "normal" people do, or be proactive (in the ways) "Normal" people do. you can still do amazing things because of how your brain works but you'll never be normal that being said I'd love to make friends with someone who is autistic. if they weren't autistic and she was pulling the disability card though that woman would be a real cunt.
I had the opportunity to [i]ride[/i] on the back of our 'disabled' friend numerous times before the system broke and i don't regret it, suckers.

Someone with fucking common sense. I like how you all are standing up for the priviliged autistic children that get to go to disneyland once a WEEK. When there families who are lucky to go once in their lifetime.

This sucks cause my cousin has Diabetes and needs regular injections, so queuing up for 30+minutes at a time would make it very hard for her.

[QUOTE=J!NX;42345909]now you're just being a royal smart ass about it. also lol love how you snipped that one post to avoid being bombarded by dumbs only to continue saying the same thing.[/QUOTE] My original post was worded badly and people kept misinterpreting it. Just to clarify, I don't have any prejudices against autistic people, I know a few myself. [QUOTE=J!NX;42345909]that being said I'd love to make friends with someone who is autistic.[/QUOTE] It's nice to see that's the only reason you would be friends with someone is because of that. Not their personality or interests.
[QUOTE=J!NX;42345109] that being said I'd love to make friends with someone who is autistic.[/QUOTE] I prefer being friends with people for who I am as a person, not out of some morbid fascination with my struggles.
[QUOTE=borisvdb;42346954] Just to clarify, I don't have any prejudices against autistic people, I know a few myself. [/QUOTE] Oh wow, you pulled that card.
[QUOTE=Fangz;42346887]There is something call an [url=https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/passes/]Annual Pass[/url] for locals.[/QUOTE] $609 isn't exactly pocket change.
[QUOTE=borisvdb;42347091]$609 isn't exactly pocket change.[/QUOTE] one day passes for disneyland are $90-ish, $609 is getting a year for a week's price. edit: wait that's the disney world price, disneyland is $669, but still a good deal for the price.

I got an idea! Let's take a group of people who we consider more "deserving" because they are disabled, and put them in line first. Way to make them feel normal, right?

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;42345879]Because god forbid these kids get a break from a condition that doesn't affect them at all. Oh wait.[/QUOTE]His point still stands, though. They're going once a week, and it's apparently a chore to stand in line because of their crippling autism, so they deserve special treatment, right? However, while they're doing that there are millions of children, some probably severely disabled, who don't get to go [i]at all.[/i] They do not get to participate because of the economic conditions of their parents. Being slightly inconvenienced in their weekly Disneyland trip is A-OK with me, because they're still going weekly and they have [i]autism,[/i] and not, say, stage four stomach cancer. I see no reason to interrupt the once-in-a-lifetime trip a lot of people are there for with their weekly thing.
Goddamnit, this is why we can't have nice things.

[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;42359620]So basically you're saying 'they shouldn't complain because some people don't have it as good'?[/QUOTE]More or less, but anyone can say that to anyone, there needs to be context. Saying "you can't complain about being homeless, at least you're not in a prison camp in North Korea!" is fucking retarded, but saying "you can't complain because you're doing something per week that most people in the [i]world[/i] can't even do per month," is pretty reasonable.
