Stephen Hawking just died. I didn't know a vegetable could last 76 years without refrigeration.
Why would you call him a vegetable?
What's wrong with vegetables? They're good for dinner. I just meant that he's a vegetable. Didn't know he was physically challenged.
People with disabilities are very capable and it is hurtful to think they are like vegetables. You could become disabled later in life due to an accident or disease and you would not like it if people suddenly thought you were now a vegetable.
How am I supposed to know that the guy is physically challenged? If he can survive 76 years without refrigeration, it's hard to argue he's not a vegetable.
You keep making the same joke though, and it is not funny. We should not compare anyone with a physical illness a vegetable.
