cinderkeys – I totally agree. If they don’t get it in one, they probably don’t WANT to get it. It’s ridiculous that people who have so much else to deal with have to fight this kind of prejudice as well.

Thanks Doc – there’s so much of this kind of thing, everywhere you look, not just on TV. Some of us even have to deal with this kind of attitude from members of our own families . . .

P-Nut – Not only is she not always right, she is intolerant, insensitive, and rude.

Kris – exactly. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. If you do spend your entire life miserable, nobody wants anything to do with you because you “bring them down,” but if you try to find some minor pleasure in life to relieve the misery, you “must be faking, and it couldn’t possibly be as bad as you say it is.”

Rosemary – isn’t it though. I think anyone would have to be an idiot to want to fake a disability anyway. For heaven’s sake, you can live better on a minimum wage job than you can on the pittance the disability folks allow you.

Yeah, the insurance companies don’t pay their spies to show the truth, they pay them to make it look like you’re doing something that proves you’re lying about how sick or hurt you are . . .

syotos – her attitude pisses me off too. She seems to think that if you’re poor or sick it’s your own fault, and all you have to do is decide not to be . . .She just doesn’t “get” that poor people usually work a hell of a lot harder than the ones that make 6 figures+, at jobs that destroy their bodies and don’t even pay a living wage.

Ginny – There is that . . . actually, I think she is too, but I just HAD to say something. (Not that it will actually make any difference to her, I don’t make enough money for her to care what I think.)
