An 11-year-old disabled boy and his family are outraged after he was "shunned to the back" for his Year 6 graduation photo. Why would you even put a disabled be hide people that are standing. No adults were think like a human when they were positioning these students.

John Franklin Stephens on his open letter to Ann Coulter: "Use me as a symbol for someone who fights adversity" I keep having the same thoughts about bullying. If our leaders are acting like kids, calling each other names and degrading one another when they do not get they way. This behavior is just becoming more accepting through out our whole society.
Everyone says a picture is worth a thousand words, but when spoken one word can do a life time of damage, or make a person feel like a billion bucks.

What a Douchebag, but that is not a good to description for this "person" that can influence the thoughts of millions. In the definition of Douchbag they even use the R word. Maybe some body should lock her in an institution and treat her like she is not human. If no other politician finds her offensive, they do not care about the disability community.

RT @nichcy: University of Tennessee program gives students with intellectual disabilities chance to attend college http://on.wbir.com/SH1vfQ. This is a good example of how I speak about how everyone has something to contribute to society. I also talk about how people may just see the help that I get from others, but in reality they also benefit from seeing my drive to achieve my goals.

RT @CLD_GSU: To Avoid Long Lines, Some Turn To Wheelchairs via @zite. If people want the perks of being a gimp, they should also see the down side. They should have to use a wheelchair for the rest of their trip. It is the same thing as parking in a gimp space. I always wanted to ask the person if I could kiss them for 2 minutes.

I find it interesting that the UK has disability hate crimes. I wonder if this is just a usage of language, or the UK take this issue that serious?
In US hate crimes are criminal acts, are they considering discrimination a criminal act in the UK? In the US, discrimination is Considered to be a civil matter and a lot of cases are not notice because it is more money to hire a lawyer then the victim usually has as an income. If you try to stand up for your rights at the time, you get threaten with trespassing, or causes a public disturbance so you end up going to jail.

I think this is the same story about the documentary at Sundance. It is a taboo subject, but needs to be addressed. The clip I saw was with a client in an Iron log. Sex i s something that should be something everyone should experience.

A sex surrogate helps men get over their sexual dysfunctions by getting into bed with them. Is this medicine? Or plain old-fashioned prostitution served up with a spoonful of love?
Wow President Obama issued a statement proposing better labor standards for in-home care workers. I always thought if care providers got better pay and were paid on time it would be a win, win for all. The care provider could have a better income and the would give a higher quality of care. The over time party may be hard to make happen since that would be hard to write into a yearly budget.
Plus it is a job market that will not disappear, most likely
it just keep growing. DAH!

i think is good that people are always developing new
devices to improve life for people with disabled. personally i be interesting
in using one of these, but i never walked so i might not know what I'm missing.
then again it might lead to another device that i might use one day.
i did see an interview on CNN with Austin, he hope that some day this device will be affordable for everyone. that is where my skepticism kicks in.
