Girl in wheelchair allowed to "run" track

Yet again you display what a fucking moron you are. The winning times of wheelchair participants of marathons are always way faster than those of runners. You don't hear those wheelchair participants crying about having to start separately from the runners in those events.


Well marathons and high school track are completely different things. I don't think I would compare a 26 mile race to a 100, 200, or 400 yard sprint, or even the 800 or 1,600.


If she is taking a spot away from someone else that could compete, then it is completely ridiculous. Other than that, this is just another case where people give handicapped people ridiculous privileges and advantages because they are handicapped.

What if i wanted to swim but didn't have any feet, so they allowed me to wear some big-ass flippers and i smoked everybody?
What if I couldn't actually roll a bowling ball by myself but they let me win the world championship by using a ramp (which would always roll the ball exactly the same way)?
Do you begin to see the problem, TG05?

What would this girl's mom say if there was another girl who was without arms or legs, so she couldn't even self-propell her wheelchair, so she has a special wheelchair developed which she can power by making an inch-worm motion, and it just so happens that due to the special gear system built into the thing, that she can go 40 mph, and smokes the other girl in the wheelchair. the mom would be crying foul because it's not a "real" wheelchair!

I can't wait for somebody who is "vertically challenged" to sue the NBA to have the rim lowered to 5 feet because they are short and can't jump, but they "want to be included" with every other basketball player who can dunk.

If I can't drive a golf ball 330 yards like Tiger, then i should get to use special equipment because my "handicap" (of being normal which only allows me to hit it 270)

Or how about this:
A fatass guy decides to have his fatass legs amputated just above the knee. Then he has his legs surgically grafted to the haunches of a horse. then he wins a court ruling - somewhere in CA or CT - deciding that this constitutes his "right" to alter his body any way he wants, and that now the horse is considered a part of him. They also rule, of course, that he can compete just like anyone else in the Olympics because to do otherwise would hurt his self esteem (which you know had to be high in the first place because he was so friggin' slow he cut off his legs and sewed them to a friggin' horse!)
I can just hear some idiot judge saying something like "I don't see how having more than, less than, or equal to two legs, or even if any of those legs were initially human, would have any material effect on the nature of the competition in question. A man is what he makes of himself. And this man has made himself into a horse. Who are we to tell him what he can and can't do?"
"Furthermore, all these Olympic athletes are only here because they have used what the were born with - superior athletic ablility - to get here. Likewise, this man has used what he was born with - the abliity to 'think outside the box' so to speak - to conceive of a way to enhance his ability without the use of illegal substances like steroids, and to have his argument heard in the only court in the nation - mine - with a judge stupid enough to rule in his favor. I, for one, commend his ingenuity."
