Stupid Guest Tricks

I'm sure that if Aunt Ethyl was having to push obese Uncle Cleetus around in a wheelchair she'd get tired of it pretty quickly and make him walk like everyone else. He clearly could use some cardiovascular activity.

Regardless that folks have a legitimate complaint about the overwhelming number of ECV's in the parks, the few folks who have a legitimate need for the ECV will inevitably start accusing that people have no compassion for disabled people, *they* have an actual disability, etc. Please. It's obvious we're not talking about people with legitimate disabilities here. The problem is that everyone and their brother gets an ECV because they're 100+ pounds overweight and folks are sick and tired of it.

Whoopi just verbalized the reality that most people using ECV's are obese and really shouldn't be using them. She's right. Now I suppose I'll have to hear about your uncle's thyroid condition and how it might *appear* that he's just lazy but he really needs his ECV. I'm sure you're right, and again -- this rant isn't directed at him. He wouldn't be noticed at all if every other obese person at WDW (of which there are so so many) didn't use an ECV!!

2. Unlike other forums out there, flame wars or fighting among users will not be tolerated. Conduct yourself in a civil manner. If you cannot do that then you are not welcome here. If threads degrade into flame wars, they will be locked, and the instigator may be banned.

3. Attack the message, not the messenger. If you have a problem with a particular post, don’t make personal attacks against the poster. Instead, state in a civil manor what your disagreement with the post is. Personal attacks of any kind are not allowed.
