I'm crippled, but hamplanets are the ones who get what they want. (sorry if this posted more than once. Internet shit out as it was submitting) So, as the title suggest, I'm handicapped. No, I'm not missing a leg or anything like that, but I have fibromyalgia. It's gotten so bad within the last year and a half that even mowing the lawn will put me in bed for two days. But that's not what I'm here to talk about. I can't take most jobs, as even sitting on my ass for too long fucks up my back and hips, so I decided to see if I could apply for some sort of government assistance to help until I can find a medication to help me cope with the pain. I'm just beginning my journey into government mooching, and did a lot of research about it since I have no idea were to begin. One thing that kept coming up over and over was how hard it is to get approved for disability with firbo, since there are no official tests for it blah blah blah. This is something I have, that I cannot control, that I did not bring upon myself, that effects my daily life for the worse, and I still try to fight through it (daily walks, eating healthy and less to combat the long downtime I have, constantly popping pills, etc) and do you see were I am going with this? Fat fucks get to get government assistance because they can't put down a fucking hamburger long enough to go take a walk. They get to be paid to sit on their ass all day, stuffing their fucking slobbery maws and MAKING themselves "disabled" while I fight through finances because I'm too cripple to take up an average job/get enough money to pay for myself for something I never brought on myself. I read this somewhere in the comments here, but it rang incredibly true for me "Do you have any idea how many people would love to have the body these people started out with?"  They were gifted their body with (presumably) 0 health problems, and they are literally forcing it on themselves, while people like me and others were birthed with crippling pain just for the fucking hell of it. These people aren't physically handicapped, they are MENTALLY handicapped! They should be treated the same way people with eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia get treated. Do you have any idea how badly I wished I could do something like change my diet or work out more to FELL BETTER? And don't get me started with fat fucks on scooters. I can usually walk a good 45 minutes to an hour before my joints hurt too badly to continue, but when I go to disney world (I go every couple months with my grandma, also in a scooter) I need a mobility scooter. I've seen fat fucks in scooters get on the transportation buses before us, because they got their first. But other than being a big fat fuck, there is nothing god damned wrong with them. I hate having to wait for the next show because the handicapped section is full, and seeing fat blubberbeasts pouring out when the show is over, and I have having to sit next to them when we get corralled into the theaters like the cattle THEY are. I had an ed (thank GOD) roommate who would go with me, and when I sat next to her on rides I had to grasp the saftey bar for dear life because it stopped a good 5 or 6 inches away from my body while she complained it was "too tight" Those mobility scooters aren't for your fat fucks to laze around in. They are for people like me, people like my elderly grandmother with a metal fucking plate in her ankle, disabled veterans who fought and risked their lives so you can continue to shove your gullet full of big macs and watch honey boo boo all fucking day.   These fat fucks get whatever they fucking want, just for being a fatass. The world is changing around these people because they don't have the willpower to change their eating habits and work out every now and then. They have a fucking eating disorder, were food is more important than health, just like anorexics have an eating disorder were they think looking good is more important than health. Why the fuck do we let this happen? Sorry for the rant. But I figured this is the best place for people who understand. Thanks for keeping this community alive.
