Friend:: Why are they re-doing the pavement? It looked nicer before? Me:: It's to make this city accessible to people in wheelchairs. Friend:: Isn't the architectural character of this city more important than those wheelchair people?
What's wrong with people in wheelchairs? I'm not sure I agree.
Well, they're making this city accessible to those in wheelchairs so they won't get any business here. It's bad for the economy.
Having the view of people in wheelchairs as a burden to society is wrong. Having an understanding of what people are capable of when wheelchair-bound will help us be more sympathetic towards them. Gaining this knowledge will allow us to be more open-minded and understand they are beneficial to society.
Don't tell me what's right and wrong. You know that those damn wheelchair people voted for the government which implemented the law on the accessible city. Of course that the business is going to suffer, that way they make it harder for us to walk.
Everyone on this planet deserves to live comfortably, whether you agree with it or not. The disabled are no exception. Wouldn't you rather think that accessibility would increase the economy because they would be able to go there?
