@greenbutterfly101 I'm afraid you've rather missed the point... Rich wasn't making fun of disabled people, he was making fun of people who FAKE illness or disabilities whenever it suits them for their own gain, shamelessly displaying to other people that they are actually completely able-bodied and well until the time comes again when they want to take advantage of the system. Hence his reference to 'the Fake-Wheelchair-People with trampolines', which I personally thought was hilarious!! :-D

@CatgirlAlli @greenbutterfly101 Exactly! I agree with him that it's infuriating to see people either fake disabilities or exaggerate them to take advantage of conveniences or privileges reserved for the genuinely incapacitated.

I've also personally seen what he's talking about. People "painfully" doddering onto the plane ahead of the other passengers, only to deplane at a full trot and scoop up their grandchildren. At least Lewis made me laugh at what is both shameless and selfish.

Richard Lewis really got irritating he kept going on and on I just wanted to know "why the pilot was weeping" too

@skb0rzn I'm sorry I cannot approve your comment. Prejudicial remarks of any kind are not permitted on my channel. You may re-phrase it if you wish, and try again.

What made me mad was a trip i took to disney world. Theres a policy at disney world where disabled people can skip the line. Thats fine with me, but the same group of people rode the same ride 4 times in a row, and i know cause we waited in line for an hour as they just waltzed up. Later that day i saw the same group, and the person who was bein wheeled around actually got up and walked into the restroom. I really think one of em faked it so no one had to wait in lines.

@hambones5 I have to agree, He was wound tighter than an eight day clock.

I guess i can relate...i tore my acl and meniscus the day before my senior graduating trip to disneyland. I got a wheelchair and got to skip all the lines. Meanwhile, ten other kids did it in totally fine health so i got a terrible look from everybody i saw cus everybody thought i was doing the same. Stoops

@UltimateSerge 1. Espousing prejudicial remarks is not freedom, but an abuse of freedom.

2. In any functional democracy, your rights end where another person's rights begin.

3. If you read the post I linked to, you will know that my channel is NOT a democracy. When it is *your* name at the top of the page, you may of course establish the unjust climate and low standards which you seek.

[UltimateSerge]

@Fergufool That's not freedom of speech, but restricted speech.

[Fergufool]

@UltimateSerge If you wish to be prejudicial, you must find a gutter to roll in, as it will not be permitted here. Freedom of speech on my channel is limited by civility and fair play. fergufoolDOTposterousDOTcom/de­ar-rude-youtubers
