ADA Wank, with a side of Mac Vs. PC and Liberal Vs. Conservative!
So, two California women are suing Apple for alleged accessibility violations in its SF retail store. The comments on the article are, needless to say, wanky, with some complaining about the liberal activist agenda, allegations that the women are just out to make a quick buck, and the occasional disabled person chiming in on both sides of the issue.

Also, WTF is a "standing wheelchair?"

I always feel terrible when someone in a wheelchair tries to come into the store I work in. The building itself is accessable, but we have rather too much stuff, so there are boxes and shelves everywhere, making it really hard to navigate in a wheelchair. Last time we had to have one salesperson trail after the guy grabbing stuff for him, trying to make sure he could actually get from section to section, and it just plain sucks that something as mundane as picking up homeschooling materials has to become a major exercise in physics and patience.

Honestly, how much emotional damage do you experience when you can't reach something on the shelf? Do you sit down on the floor and cry until someone reaches the item for you? Do you run off and write slanderous statements on your blog about the mean nasty person who did this to you? Or do you find another way to get the item you want? OOoo....I'll take option number three please!!

Oh my God what the hell is wrong with you?

	WORD. We were doing tours at my work and we weren't sure what to do about wheelchairs, and we decided fuck it, people could wait if they had to. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	If there was ever an appropriate time to forcibly remove someone's lower-body mobility to teach them a lesson, this would be the perfect time. Because holy jumping moses what a cuntish attitude. (Reply to this)(Parent)
