Thanks.

SwingLeft- do you really regret having your disabled child so much as to put down ghostwise? he's a human & has obviously struggled through life, and he very easily could've become "woe is me" about his condition and just killed himself. but he didn't. he stayed strong & is still with us today, being just as creative as the rest of us here on YouTube, making & posting vids.

Maybe you should count your blessings, SwingLeft.

[whaddyareckon]

[davidpaulbryant]

[sports11]

This is so amazing!

[samxma]

u rock man :)

[Unsweet]

This is an amazing display of positivity and strength on your part, and love and dedication on your mother's. Such a beautiful clip. I've just discovered you, and am subscribing off this video alone, but I'm definitely off to watch your other ones now! <3

Oh, and some of the comments on this page are the most immature and disgusting I've seen on YouTube -- and THAT'S saying something. Be a duck: let it roll off your back like water. :)

-[unsweet]

[atiger1973]

god bless you and the nice woman in your back(your mom??) and greeting from germany. We can learn many things from you. enjoy the life. laughing and peace(eng) pace(it) frieden(ger)

[oozma]

YOU LOOK A LITTLE STIFF LOL

[oxolexioxo2]

i went to that site and i also think that is amazing! i also saw a documentary on a mother with no arms who was a small person and raising her baby alone. Another inspiring story. All different, yet touching all the same.

[oxolexioxo2]

First off he didn't say HE did at any point in time..he said WE did it together. I'm not saying everybody out there with a disability and a camera is going to affect someone. But i do think this guy has something special and i do think this guy can. There is more beyond his words. Maybe he used "crooked crooked hands" because thats how the world would see them aposed to "normal" hands. But he's showing that his hands can create art. and thats an inspiration to anyone.

[SwingLeft]

You want REAL inspiration??? Check Nick's MESSAGE at:

W W W (dot) LifeWithoutLimbs (dot) C O M

[oxolexioxo2]

So leave him alone and let him be. If you don't like it why do you keep watching his videos? Obviously you keep coming back for more. When you don't like a channel. You change it. Thats it. Let it be. You don't have to be a jerk. Or did your mother never teach you manners?

[SwingLeft]

I'm enjoying the response of idiots like you. I can't pause the VIDEO fast enough! My ears will bleed if I hear him say, "look at these crooked, crooked hands..." ONE MORE TIME~! Why didn't he just add some violin music in the background too! HA ha ha. I just want to read what the morons like you are saying.

[SwingLeft]

You want REAL inspiration??? Check Nick's MESSAGE at:

W W W (dot) LifeWithoutLimbs (dot) C O M

[oxolexioxo2]

you know what though SwingLeft. At least he has something you dont. A heart, and maybe by putting this up he's inspiring other people. Ok, your daughter doesnt, she's different, But this is his art, what he's doing plus his words and his heart behind it is his heart and obviously it's touching people.

[SwingLeft]

So ALLOW me to touch people too; by pointing out that we need not applaude every "Joe" with a disability, a camera, and access to the internet. It would be GREAT if I could express MY opinion in this free nation even if it does not agree with YOUR opinion. I hate when ANYBODY feels the need to say "look what I can do" --even if they have difficulty doing whatever it is. It goes to pride! Pride = boastfulness.

[Xunethqualn]

Pride can be just as much good as bad. I am happy to see him attempt something he has never done before... Boastfulness is a cry out for attention. he is not out solely for attention

[imboredasmonkeys]

lmao.you got me. how old are you? ur high.its not a wonder. maybe because you appouse to be a mom but you act like a lowlife. i mean really. im 14 and i have more common sence in one finger then you do in ur wholebody. personaly. not a mother/adult would act like this to the degree where they would fuss out ppl on the internet. yeeeah umm, ur MATURE? lmao.

[shtayve]

lol pay attention during english class thats all i can say please take my advice it will save you from further humiliation :D

[Glesgagirl]

Eric, you are wonderful and so is your mom for giving you a wonderful life. You both must work very hard. I have subscribed to your videos and you both have touched my heart. God bless.

[draegast]

your wonderful man i love your videos

[SwingLeft]

You're kidding...right?

[mydumbassmonkey]

You have truly inspired me. You are a brave soul, a talented artist, and a great person. Everyone could learn from you.

[OrangeFish07]

That is what true miracles are all about, believing in yourself and enjoying life! You have both and there is no doubt about that. People who do not see this, have no respect for themselves, and no respect for people like you who show the world what life is all about! Live life or don't live at all!

[oxolexioxo2]

At that moment, she saw what her son saw. He was standing. You better pray that nothing ever happens to you in life that puts you in that situation where you're in the under end. It would be really sad if you had to go that extreme for your eyes to be opened. You don't have to give him special treatment. But you don't have to be a jerk either. I'd think you'd of all people would understand having a daughter in those shoes.

[oxolexioxo2]

Yea I'm sure at times.maybe even alot of times your daughter might not be so nice..first thats being a kid now a days..2nd, maybe she's frustrated at herself...and seeing how u treat this guy i wouldn't be surprised if u were the reason for her frustration. Did you see the mom in the video. She was smiling at her son. She was proud of her son.

[SwingLeft]

I dig the mom. She is the one that should be given an award. I'm not sure about her judgement when she agreed to put this on the internet, tho. My daughtter is 18 (not a kid). However, people with this level of disability are SO used to OTHER people doing EVERYTHING FOR them, that they never grow up (few exceptions).

[A16Matthews]

Spoken like a true hippie.

Love you!

[oxolexioxo2]

you guys probably go through alot. But you've gone through your whole life living what is "normal" you know what it feels like to stand. I hope u don't tell ur daughter " u call that standing" and make her feel like crap. cause what if that's the closest thing to standing they've got Mr. SwingLeft.

[SwingLeft]

No...I don't tell her "you call that standing". But SHE doesn't put videos of ME holding her up, putting her on the toilet, crossing her legs, (etc,etc,etc,etc,etc) ...ON THE INTERNET! No matter you level of ability / disability you should NEVER say, "Hey, Look at me! Look what I can do!" --Unless you're 5 years old, maybe.

[soccerplay59]

I don't think that's what he's trying to say here. The way I see it, he's trying to get people aware about the environment.

[oxolexioxo2]

wow...are you that much of a jerk to ur daughter too? i mean i see you call her a bitch on another comment and now this. If you have no faith in your daughter how will she ever have faith in herself. Yes. I'm sure it's hard for you and his mom..

[SwingLeft]

You talk about FAITH? How about faith in the a-hole that cannot stand without the help of his mommy. If YOU have SO much fait....HEAL him!!

[SwingLeft]

You call that standing?? If I ever meet you I'm going to slap you upside the head!! Mom is holding you up!! I do the same thing for my daughter every day (Muscular Dystrophy). It's NO ACCOMPLISHMENT on her part. However, KUDOS to your MOM for dealing with you all these years. SHE is the one who is amazing... NOT your stupid ass!

[muahahasaidkimberly]

ummm...wow

UR a mom? and that's how u react to this touching video?

y do u have to be so rude? keep ur hate to urself, and he is amazing for sharing this with us, and so is his mother.

u on the other hand really need to shut up.

[SwingLeft]

I must have blinked and missed the "touching" part. Try parenting a kid with needs like this and get back to me.

[muahahasaidkimberly]

There are plenty of parents in the world that are taking care of children "with needs like these" and they are grateful to have each other.

but you...i wonder how your NOT just abandoning your daughter, maybe you DO have a minuscule ounce of humanity in you if any.

[SwingLeft]

That's about the MOST retarded comment I think I've ever received.

[muahahasaidkimberly]

uh-huh..so u don't have any humanity or morality in you at all... i'll pray for u and ur daughter..whatever more bitchy comments u leave for me..

because it's obvious u need somebody's prayers for your pitiful existence, and ur daughter...because i doubt she's getting any of the love a human being needs... whether u agree with anything i say or not.

[SwingLeft]

She's pretty loved.... but thanks for the prayers!! We could ALL use prayer!

($10 bucks says you don't REALLY pray for me!)

[muahahasaidkimberly]

then u can send me the $10 through paypal, because I will pray for you. ur right, everyone needs prayer...

[SwingLeft]

Your prayers cost money?!?!?

[muahahasaidkimberly]

haha. are you blatantly ignoring ur challenge "($10 bucks says you don't REALLY pray for me!)"?

way to try be witty, too bad ur utterly failing at it

[SwingLeft]

Ok, knuckle-head, Post your paypal email address and I'll SEND you your filthy lucre!

[muahahasaidkimberly]

o yea, and i think oxolexioxo2 down ther has alot to say to u too.

[shawnzer06crahan]

You heartless,cold,sickening asshole! If someone should have earned a medal it should be Ghostwise and your daughter for standing up with you bullshit!

If you hate your life so much then why don't you just kill yourself? That way we could all stop listening to you bullcrap.

[SwingLeft]

Kill yourself. Then you won't have to hear ANY of it!!

[shawnzer06crahan]

I have a better idea. YOU kill yourself. Then you don't need to hear us trying to get some sense into your dumbass brain and you don't need to be bothered by your "pain in the ass" daughter. How's that sound?

[SwingLeft]

Sounds like your boyfriend needs to haul your ass in for some anger management!

[shawnzer06crahan]

Like I said earlier. "Serious issues".

[SwingLeft]

Oh....Nice come-back. I'd rather have THREE TIMES my "issues" than HALF of yours!!

[shawnzer06crahan]

Really. So Mr.Beelzebub, what are my issues?

[SwingLeft]

Well, there is ONE of them right there.

You're asking a total stranger what's wrong with you.

I could give a RAT'S ASS what YOU think!

[shawnzer06crahan]

Your not even making any sense at all are you?

YOU happen to ME be a complete stranger. Yet I know that you've got plenty of issues.1. You feel "Oh, so cursed by God" because of your daughter's handicapp. 2. You express this by complaining to other handicapped person's on youtube of all other places.

[shawnzer06crahan]

3. You start telling other people they have issues followed after them asking what on earth that would be with stating exactly what we're asking you in the first place: How would you know about a total stranger's issues. Seems to me that you've got several problem's to feed upon yet you chose to complain about other's instead.

[shawnzer06crahan]

And you can just keep em coming cause I know that the only people on this board that is retarded here are you and every other sick person that have been mocking this man who's feeling's you don't seem to care about.

[SwingLeft]

Kill your fuckin SELF!@#%&)(*@

[shawnzer06crahan]

...You got some serious issues buddy.

[soccerplay59]

Sounds like you regret your daughter.

[SwingLeft]

Yeah....that's it. You're genius!  What a Dumb-ass.

[soccerplay59]

Well, it really does. I'm not trying to take a dig at your or bring you down...notice that I'm not throwing out lots of random "you have no heart or soul" things...I'm just saying, by your comments, it seems like you regret your daughter.

[Carebeer]

Swingleft, work your demons out elsewhere. Get some help for yourself. Don't berate this man because you are in pain.

[imboredasmonkeys]

Okay well i dont no what to say. i mean i have my one of my best friends little brother who is mentaly ill.

just wish you good luck. People look at you like you have no mind. but just look at you. Your a typing walking pro that DOES have a mind., =]

[kohryusan]

Ignorance is bliss, I'm pretty sure he isn't mentally ill. He's physically handicapped.

[fengchangzuo]

坚强的人，祝你幸福

[00B3RMILFAGE]

God bless both of you.

[Kevinhamilton905]

i was just wonder, as a serious question, what disability you have?

[MaryCummins]

That's fantastic! I used to volunteer at the cerebreal palsey center in Watts doing aquatic therapy. So many young people taking college classes that couldn't talk or write well. I wish they had a computer back them so they could communicate like you. It would have really opened up their worlds, especially with the speech function. Thanks for inspiring people.

[kittielover1312]

that was really good!! very inspiring!!!! *  *

[happyseaurchin]

we have a winner, ladies and gentlemen! two in fact, hell we'll include the camera-person too! you are all invited to the party!

i have taken a stand too, and my god it is difficult to weather the scepticism and general apathy, the confusion that so many educated people get caught up in.

tell it as it is! let's stand strong together!

[jenluv37]

That's awesome! I followed a link to your videos and I'm really enjoying them! Mad love!

[LudicrousLucidity]

This is one of the very best videos on youtube. If any deserves to be featured, this is it.

A positive message from a selfless, positive person. Well done Chris. :)

[ghostwise]

Definitely working on being positive but I can't claim to be selfless. ;)

Thanks for the comment!

[renetto]

Great video... thanks for giving it your all... paul

[alikokos]

paul what if this vid got featured??? or yours???

[bradandpam]

ghostwise, this video is so profoundly inspiring. Your courage will help to spread the word! You're making a difference. Now I have to think of what I can do, too.

[DrLemur]

Awesome. Your mom sounds amazing.

[callmetc]

All I can say is wow. I really like this one. Thank you so much for sharing. I'll see you soon!
