I think scum is scum. Try to make this a class war...it ain't.

If you are taking a handicapped person to Disney World does it really matter? They are still handicapped...and at Disney World.

They don't have front of the lines passes. Universal does but not Disney. They do have fast passes that are free. You go get them and it tells you what time to come back to that ride. You then go in the fast pass line when it is time.

Most of the handicapped spaces I see are empty, unless it's a place with lots of senior citizens. Unless they are always full and people who are disabled can't find places to park I really don't think about it ever. My dad has a pass, so does a good friend of mine, they have never had a problem finding spots anywhere but I can see how it would be annoying if they did.

Do I resent someone paying to "use" a disability to go to the head of the line? About as much as I resent healthy people using a handicap plate to park when the person who's issued the plate is not in the car.
That would be quite a bit by the way.
Well said.

Everyone's phone is capable of taking pictures these days. You should have fun getting revenge for your hate. All you have to do is send the photo to the appropriate authorities.

I think most are missing the point. The rich have become entitled, the way Mitt Romney thought he was entitled to be president. The manhattan rich never get wet in the rain. They come out of their apartments, the doorman holding an umbrella hails a cab while they wait under the canopy, when they get to their destination, they receive the same treatment.

A natural extension of this is believing you are better than the rabble and deserve special treatment. It's ok, we are giving a handicapped person a job. They shouldn't pay taxes either -- they're job creators!
