THE CREATORS NEED TO THINK ! you lost your point when the woman curb jumps while crossing the street but dosen't jump a shorter step at the store. And how bout all of the folks in power chairs and having other isses and can't climb ANY curbs or move bikes and bins!.

Misguided and really STUPID

No film is better than this

@charmedcripchic How can you say it's misguided and stupid? I think you're missing the whole point of the video.

THAT IS A FAKE!!!!

[turningpointtelly]

Rose (the person in this video) is a wheelchair user due to spinal injuries she sustained many years ago. The situations you saw are staged for the sake of the video but wheelchair users do face these struggles on a daily basis. This video in particular is based on Rose's personal struggles on her visit to the local shops.

@LordPipweed i was going to give you the fuck up you deserve,but worthless pieces of shit like you are not even worth it

[TrueBlueCanuck]

i guess being in a wheelchair does have some struggles,but who doesn't have struggles?

[ThePurplecdcase]

@LordPipweed I am so sorry for you. I think you need to sit back and see what your weaknesses are. I found at least 3 just reading this conversation you are having.

[dotmacis]

@LordPipweed I don't know what planet you're from, but on THIS planet yes ... you can become disabled. What if you're in a car and suddenly your car is hit by a drunk driver?? Even decent humans can become disabled. And eventually, you'll become a senior citizen. Many seniors eventually need the help of walkers or wheelchairs to get around. You really need a MAJOR reality check.

[LordPipweed]

@dotmacis but u dont just suddenly "become" disabled. u are either born like that or ur normal. and those people who start off normal then get a disability are born weak, so they end up becoming disabled through illness or some shit. either way, normal people dont just become disabled. only people who are already losers on the down can become disabled. like worthless people. me and my family would never become disabled, we are decent humans. not faggots or retards or deformed

[dotmacis]

@LordPipweed No ... it's your attitude that's worthless.  Don't forget that a person with a disability is someone's family member or close friend. I don't know if you still have your parents or not, but what if one of them were to suddenly become disabled?? Would they suddenly become worthless to you?? Would you suddenly become worthless to someone else, if you had a stroke or heart condition?? Somehow I don't think so.

[LordPipweed]

@dotmacis yeh most of their brains dont function properly, and even if they do it doesnt matter because they are still less important because of their disabilties. i dont understand how we can employ people with no legs or no arms. they are completely useless aswell as looking disgusting. i know i cant decide whether they live or die but i think it would be better if people who are too badly disabled should just be told in a polite way that they cant go on cos honestly, they are worthless.

[dotmacis]

@LordPipweed Uhh ... blindness or paralysis doesn't mean their brains don't work!! Your ignorant attitude is absolutely despicable and disgusting. And yes, you COULD become disabled!!!! You could be in a serious car accident, or have a stroke. And you are NOT God, so you don't have the right to decide whether a person lives or dies. You really need to grow up, and learn a little about empathy and understanding.

[LordPipweed]

@dotmacis how can they work for a living? half of them cant walk, someb cant see, some have no arms. they are just fucking stupid. and no i could never become disabled. they are just born like that, they disgrace mankind seriously, why are disabled people given special treatment, they should just be put down
