Reminds me of a story, I wused to work at a camp that had physically and/or mantally handicapped children (as well as mainstream children), I was working on the farm, so while people where playing volleyball basketball etc those that couldn't came down to the farm, I remeber one girl, 13, in a wheelchair due to cerebal palsy, well I was her favorite, at the farm there was me (6'2") and a bunch of wispy little horse loving girls, so I was the one who took her riding. anyway to the story, it was an open house all the rich contributers where there (charity run camp) and I was getting off the horse, and helping her down when a man in a suit walks up, and starts talking to this girl "blah blah blah, I respct your courage blah blah blah must be so hard for you blah blah blah" well he had problems speaking, but I understood her, so I had to translate her response for her.
Mr Money Bags: "what did he say"
Me: "uhmm, well"
Her *hits my arm
Me: "she said you are a condisending prick"
he deserved that. they should be treated as equals and that is how you show respect. at least from my experience
