London...
London,
In conversation, you make harsh comments such as "a wife like you" or that "in nonsense." Then, when I address what you said (in this case with articles) you ignore it entirely and go onto the next thing. This makes it hard to have a dialog.
SCat: I 100% agree with everything you said. The exception is the analogy. With Japanese, I was trying to make the analogy between race and disability. This is extremely controversial, but it is my belief that there is no difference between race and disability (or sexuality). Just because a person moves or thinks differently does not make them less than and they should not be treat accordingly.
K- I always love you arguments which I find well-composed and loving. I would only say this about Hawking - which you might agree - if Hawking where a normal disabled dude - he would still be valid as a human being. Disability activists guard against people like him because it perpetuates the idea of the Super Crip meaning if you are disabled by able to be superhuman and "overcome" you are OK and valid. Every disabled person deseveres to be loved, has a sex life, a job and be respected, they don't have to be a genius.
I TOTALLY Understand this was not what you meant...but just saying.
