[A different perspective...]  This topic is raised in the press fairly often. And usually, the reporting is rather one-sided. The politically-correct side, of course. I shall offer a different perspective. Just because someone looks like an able-bodied person, does not mean he or she is so. I have a slipped disc and it hurts my back when I have to stand for a long time. The problem is worse when standing on buses with sloped floors, as my back has to adjust and basically "absorb" the difference in the angle on the floor I am standing on. Who's to say that I don't need the seat as much as a pregnant woman or an elderly person? When I know I am in for a long bus ride and I would like to have a seat, I make the effort to travel to bus-stops ahead of my rightful stop to increase my chances of getting a seat. If I get a seat, great. If not, too bad. If I wanted a guaranteed seat, I would take a cab. Society don't owe you anything. If you want a seat, do something about it. Take concrete steps to increase your chances. Don't expect people to give up their seats to you just because you are pregnant or you are old. ^^^ by Locksley @ 1:47 PM.

Broken for now. :( If anyone knows of a good way to display tweets without using Twitter's awful looking widgets, please let me know. Preferably something that allows me to retrieve my tweets in plain-text format.
Anything and everything under the sun. I write about my day, my thoughts, things I see in public, things to get off my chest, or sometimes just some senseless rants that make sense only to me. 30 year old male. Always with too many ideas in his head and too little time. For my 15 minutes of fame, I want to be a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman. Movies, TV, cycling, computers, planted tanks, cherry shrimps, P2P legal issues, Manchester United, WWE, TNA, UFC, etc... Best viewed @ 1280*1024 or above. Views are expressed are mine and mine only, and are not meant to offend or influence anyone. Designed for readers with a sense of humour. If you can't laugh at yourself, you probably won't like my style of humour. |
