Alright, I suppose that would work... But what about when your caloric intake gets higher? I believe you are thirteen(?).. Wouldn't you need to do something more?

i think you can do aerobic activities without needing legs, so as i indicated above i know a tennis coach, it is all down to personal prefernace (correct me if im wrong max) just as able bodied people choose what tgo do

i have just realised how bad this sounds ^^^ i know many people need wheelchairs and have legs and it was really insensitive i didnt mean this. sorry if it offended anybody.

Which reminds me max in the political compass thread there was a question that you said was insensitive and harsh (or something along those lines). Care to elaborate as i thought it was just a view that i am sure i share with yourself i think others are entitled to their views and the question did have a bearing on the political compass, i dont feel it should have been cesored, i do have certain experience with disabled people or people that havve had bad diseases but still feel the question should have been asked. What were your views.

...another story about disability discrimination in the school place.

One Day At 4th period I had drama
It all went well until...
A really anoying girl made me fall out of my wheelchair
THAT ISN'T THE MOST ANNOYING BIT
later when my mum came to pick me up
an SSA (special Support Assastant) said to her "He should be wearing a seatbelt"
That is the annoying bit. She made it sound asthough I was in a different room AND it was my fault I fell out. And whos fault was it that I fell out of my wheelchair the annoying girls so this is similar to...
....

AND IT'S A DISIBABLED HELPER HOW WRONG IS THAT

I totally disagree with the SSA here. I teach wheelchair skills to spinally injured people and I think that anyone capable of propelling their own chair should not wear seatbelts (unless they are very recently injured). At the end of the day accidents will happen and if you fall forwards or sideways out of your chair you don't want the damn thing landing on you, and if you tip backwards out of the chair then the seatbelt won't make any difference anyway.

I agree my wheelchair is hard enough to push without my batteries I could suffocate because of the wieght

[boberz]

can you answer my question about what you wrote inpolitical compass thread please (see a post a couple of days ago)

[Backglass]

A foot

Well, it is a smal pic & very hard to see. Keep in mind we aren't familiar with your physical shape. At first glance, it does look odd.

It's the question itself not the fact that people have their views about it. It'ldbe similar to havinga question. Do you thinks gays should be banned from the country?

Just my opinion

[max is gr8]
