The practical choice is to spend the most money on the most promising students because those students will be the ones to contribute the most to society.

I have a mild stuttering problem. I would prefer all communication with business contacts to be done through typing/email so my points are expressed as precisely as I can without any verbal foul ups. However, this does not allow me to grow and deal with my problem. I’m not trying to compare mild stuttering to being blind, I’m simply saying a lawsuit is an extremist, non-progessive way of dealing with the situation. If I had EXTREME stuttering and couldn’t talk, would I require Target to have their employees keep a pen/paper with them so I could write down my purchasing needs? Why do blind men have to purchase socks from Target, online? The business of Target already has purchasing solutions for blind men. It’s called going into the store, and using your mouth to ask employees for help. That is their current solution. It may not be exactly what this particular blind man wants, but IT IS A SOLUTION. If it doesn’t satisfy him maybe he should see if the solutions Kmart, Walmart, or Joe’s Shoe Store meet his needs better.

Late at night, I get hungry. So I call Dominos to order a pizza. If I’m extremely tired and my suttering is bad due to lack of energy, I don’t feel like calling Dominos and ordering a pizza over the phone. So I do this little trick of asking a girlfriend/friend to order it for me! Holy shit!?

1. About 30%, to these predatory lawyers. 2. No, unfortunately in US courts the plaintiff doesn't lose everything if their lawsuit is found to be without merit. 3. They do, not everyone because some people atleast have ethics. Predatory personal injury lawyers go out seeking any possible client, and many so called professional-plaintiffs engineer repeated injuries or injustices for themselves that their job is literally suing people for money. They have no other employment. Here are some links: 1 2 3 4 5 6 This legal climate is directly responsible for shaping my opinion on the matter. The US is such a litigious society at the moment and it really irks myself and many others.

Assuming the US and Australian court systems are not that different:
1 Most the damages will go in legal fees;
2 If things go pear shaped Bruce Sexton can lose everything
3 If it is so easy, why does not every shyster lawyer get every disabled person they can sue every commercial website in the US and make huge fortunes and retire to the Bahamas?

I happen to disagree with that rule of language. English is full of things that do not make sense and that is one of them. Not that it matters, but failed comprehension is not the same thing as a minor typo. If you’re now resorting to spell checking my posts I think your time would be better served by simply ignoring them.

If you hope to persuade me to come around to the socialist way of thinking that the world should adapt to you, not you to the world, and that everyone should be equal regardless of ability or contribution, and that society is best served not by nuturing the intelligent and the creative to discover and invent new things, but by making everyone feel equal in a sort of bizarre social affirmative action. Well, it isn’t going to happen.

I made this post so that when someone read the bad things about me posted elsewhere and searched for more they might find it and so realize that all those quotes taken out of context, were taken out of context. I did not make it to solicit conversion attempts.

I also do not think you’ll be converted to my way of thinking. So unless you have something new to add why not stop being antagonistic and just put me on your list of people to hate and leave it at that?

I realise that English may not be my first language, but may I point out that ‘its’ does not take an apostrophe in the possessive?

Tootle pip, old chap.

In my original post I stated that this is not discrimination, and I stand by that statement. Failure to accomodate a person with special needs is not the same thing telling someone to sit on the back of a bus or refusing service to someone based on ethnicity. You’re just trying to tie your pathetic argument to discrimination in order to bolster it’s button pushing value.

As for saying they’re trying to get rich. The article linked to above clearly states that they are seeking damages in this case. Did you not read that portion?

Very well, I misworded my question. I should have said – ‘I’m not aware that Mr
Sexton intends to live a life of luxury.’ You, on the other hand, apparently know
something we don’t, since you imply that this is Mr Sexton’s intention.

What do you know that we don’t?

Do you not find it ironic, and hypocritical, that you whine about being
slandered on blogs and yet feel free to impugn Mr Sexton’s good name and
character by implying that he’s doing this to get rich?

Another question, m’lord?

Do those “businessmen” you claim share your opinion believe they should have the right to engage in *other* forms of discrimination?

Yours in no anger whatsoever,
