Seeing them on a tractor, boating, or on a motorcyle is.
That would be incorrect.

Look, if I had someone randomly come up to me and claim that I did not deserve the accommodations or benefits I receive under a completely different program or institution (as I never applied for this program), because I did not "look" disabled to them, I would tell them to "get f*cked."
That would be incorrect.
I am on a computer now, do excel, ppt, and various word documents and did learn it in college
You may do it, but that would mean little to the people in the room shaking their head as you take advantage of programs made for people who really have diseases and handicaps that prevent them from waorking.
Was he by himself or possibly have a disable passenger. It doesn't have to be the driver that disabled.
Okay but if she's running errands while he's not with her, hence his mobility isn't an issue, she should, imo, park normally.Wasn't it Larry the Cable Guy that had a joke about that?
It is like someone complaining because someone like my aunt is loading stuff into her van parked in a handicap spot about how she's not disabled, and then behind her comes my uncle, a quadriplegic in a wheelchair or perhaps she was dropping him off somewhere (for being quadriplegic, he's pretty independent) while she "runs" errands in the area. It's like people simply assume they are seeing the whole picture just because they see a snapshot.
no it is correct, they are milking the system
Not really relevant, since I wasn't talking about you or anything you learned in college.
We're talking about some guy who isn't going to able to retrain as The Computer Guy, and who is too physically limited to do those jobs he's qualified for.
Are you a doctor who has examined the person? If not your uneducated opinion is irrelevant.

Except to me, you'd just be some non-disabled yahoo who came across a newsletter once some years ago and thinks they know what they are talking about. There's no shortage of local morons who think they actually know something. It's happened to me quite often.
You haven't access to my medical records, you have no expertise, no professional qualifications, and you run up in people's business telling them they aren't disabled when most of the time they are. They don't have to explain themselves to you, but you think they do, because you read something once.
why should people only be considered good for one career? That right there is one of the higher cost of business when a union is involved. Some of the contracts state that they can home if the machine they are assigned goes down and can't be fixed in an hour. There is NO logical reason someone can't learn a new job. It would be cheaper to retrain that pay them to sit at home and drain our already fragile economy
If you are biking, boating, and mowing your yard while working cash jobs and drawing disability, you are a ****ing fraud......PERIOD.
Ah, no. Period.
yes you would be and should be called out on it
Then we agree. As I said so long as mobility isn't an issue and that would include picking up and dropping off, and going with. I was thinking drop off, take vehicle to run errands, then return to pick up. The in-between errands shouldn't be parked in handicap.I'm saying more along the lines of she leaves him at a Starbucks or other restaurant while she grocery shops and does other things in that same place/area. That's what I was trying to say with the quotes around run. Basically, not moving the car, just returning to it because she has many things going on. She shouldn't have to move it just because she might be coming back to it without my uncle.
I agree that if they don't have someone with them when they drive to park, then they shouldn't park there. But then it would also depend on whether the person will be picking the handicapped person up too.
Apparently the disabled aren't afforded the right to maintain their homes or have recreational activities.

if they are truly disabled how can they maintain anything
Someone should be put on disability if they have a condition that makes it impossible (or at least especially difficult) to work. If someone is injured in a way that they are still able to work, but no longer in their current job field, they should be retrained to work in a field that they are able to work in. For example if I lost the use of my legs, I couldn't do my job any more, since it requires me to drive a lot, but I could still do some jobs.
You're joking, right?
