Yikes. Of course the term "we" was meant in a very general sense. However at
the risk of being marked for death again, I have to disagree. Thankfully
other voices in this thread have added more to the discussion.
Label me with any negative tag you like, but that will not change the fact
that I feel that a hearing impaired person is not the best choice for phone
answering duty. You certainly wouldn't want a visually impaired air traffic
controller.
Each person should be given the right work, within the abilities they have.
Later,
Brit

LOL!  If that's how it came off, then my apologies.  I was just giving
some insight that I'd gained some years back.  However I didn't then,
don't now, & most likely never will represent fully the view of anyone
else besides myself. ;-))

No, sir.  It wasn't aimed at you.  Although I did *borrow* from you &
added exaggeration in order to make my point.  ;-)

I hope the manager didn't do that either, although it's quite likely
that could be the result.  Don't get me wrong.  I wouldn't exactly do
backflips in glee over getting my car dented.  But I wouldn't want that
to cause such a person to lose their job either.  It'll be *much* harder
for him to replace a job than for skilled workers such as ourselves.

Out of curiousity, how long DID it take to learn sign language?  I've seen it

It doesn't seem like I'd EVER be able to learn sing language, although I'm
intrigued...

Keep in mind now,

you're in America.  The land of free speech as long as your not talking
about minorities.  God forbid that John Rocker speak his mind.  Even
presidential candidates now say, "I don't know him and I don't want to!",
while debating issues.  What bullshit.

Black people can say anything they like about whites and there's no problem
but god forbid any white person say anything about blacks.  There's gonna be
hell to pay.  The whole F*&$$n world's full of liberals and that's why this
thread is the biggest in the newsgroup over NOTHING.  I got a good laugh out
of the original post.  I spent 4 hours today working at a company of nothing
BUT handicapped persons and I have nothing bad to say about any of them.  I
just can't believe that there's 65 reply posts to a message from the 17th
about such horseshit.

        So it would be bad for him to be handicapped, but it's right for him to
wish handicapped people weren't around to "inconvenience" him?

That is not what I said and if you read it again then perhaps you might get
the message.
If not, then so be it.

I never said I wished they weren't around.  I said I wished they would get
jobs they could do well instead of jobs they can't do well.  The same is
true of anyone, disabled or not.

: You guys need to think reasonably and logically instead of worrying whether
: or not you're being 100% politically correct.  If I deserve a stroke for
: feeling this way then so be it.

First off, you certainly don't deserve a stroke.  You are entitled to your
opinions.

It gets tiresome to have any sort of socialist thought labelled with the
PC tag.  this is not about political correctness, and "PC" is a convenient
phrase people throw around to devalue socially minded attitudes.

I'm pulling out of this discussion now.  After all, it's not really
r.a.s. material, and we seem to have two distinct camps, so it's just
going to go back and forth ad nauseum.
