Too bad Ted Kennedy doesn't refuse to work because he's too fat.....
I’ve been noticing a lot of negative threads about the UK.
Is it “bash UK week”? LOL
Is there anything good coming out of the UK? Can someone please post some? LOL
You’d be amazed at how many of these people are on semi-permanent leave from Government jobs.
I’m lazy and undisciplined. I’m tired of losing out to those self-motivated freaks whose only claim to success is that they were born without my disability.
Indolence should be recognized under the Americans With Disablities Act.
When will those Fascist Republicans realize that sloth is a medical problem that needs to be addressed with more government subsidies for me and my fellow sufferers?
Many many people are on SSDI for amazing reasons. Hey and with HIPPA you cannot find out why. No one can write about it because of those Health privacy acts.
It is a shame and a way for healthcare to protact and enlarge their scope.
I believe that “chronic fatigue syndrome”, which was a popular one in the late 80’s/early 90’s is a joke now. It seems doctors don’t buy that one anymore as a good excuse for disability. But i could be wrong. It’s just that i don’t hear people claiming to have it anymore like i did then.
The new one that really gets me is “restless leg syndrome”. I don’t know if people use it as a reason for disability yet, but it could turn into that because apparently if you have RLS you can’t sleep. I have 3 relatives that claim to have this. My guess is that it’s probably just a side effect from other meds they’re taking. Or else they are just people who can’t relax.
paired with "too poor to eat" ought to resolve any gluttony issues in short order.
Sightedness.........yeah, that's it......discrimination against those who need vision correction. I need compensation for a lifetime of disability and discrimination.
Leprocy sounds like a reason not to work or at least it sounds like it. These are the same people that get a year off for having a baby. They just don’t like to work in Europe or at least they don’t base work with money.
Personally, when I read things like this I get stressed and depressed.
Maybe I should take some time off to recover
Malingerers of the world, unite!
At the risk of seeming insensitive, while there are legitimate medical conditions that cause chronic fatigue and other debilitating symptoms, many, many people use these hard-to-diagnose maladies as excuses.
I come from a family of malingerers who suffer from a wide variety of impossible-to-diagnose "diseases" that range from agoraphobia (too lazy to leave the house) to slow metabolism (not enough will power to resist that third helping of pie and ice cream).
To a medical professional who spends a scant five minutes with any of these "patients" the easy answer is some obscure disease. It is both insensitive and politically incorrect to offer the common sense cure... get up off your A$$ or push yourself away from the damn table.
These suggestions are left for us--family and friends who truly love them. As a result we're the ones who are ridiculed and accused of insensitivity.
BTW: The family members I'm speaking of also still smoke cigarettes. If cigarettes are addictive then cigarette smokers are addicts, correct? Why doesn't the ADA demand reasonable accomodation for sufferers of this disability?
lol, wish he would.
lol, wish he would.
OK, the leprosy sufferers...you can stay home.
I tried the leprosy excuse on my boss. He told me not to drop body parts in the coffee and to type with my other foot and I’d be fine. We call him “Mr. Sympathy.”
