"I'm a Hindu, I don't have beef with anyone." oh my god that delivery was perfect
yesssss😂😂
Ikr, so awesome
Jenna Trowbridge nice profile picture!!!
Jenna Trowbridge I scrolled down to comment on that as well. saw this as top comment. not even gonna make my post anymore. This is too good. PS... marry my friends sisters mothers fathers daughters cousin?
nice alt-j album profile pic!
how are you?
*extreme smile* FIFTEEN!
literally laughed out loud. lol
"I'm a Hindu. I don't have beef with anyone" HAHAHAHAHA I love that guy
"if we could go back to when the word disabled was created, I'd love a redo."
-- "what word would you prefer?"
"...Jack?"
Hit me RIGHT in the feels :c
Omg lucky you have an awesome name. Just egg.
People can't decide wether to call me an autistic, a child with autism, a child on the spectrum, an aspie or an asbergers child. People are wierd, because I really prefer Kieran.
Don't talk about yourself that way, nobody deserves to be called Kieran, it is just not done.
Thanks so much for having us! -G&A,x
My dad who's blind, accidentally walked into a man infront of him in a queue, the guy turns around and angrily says "Are you blind or what?!" dad just said "Yepp." and that shut the guy up. The worst thing you could do to anyone with a disability is to belittle them in some way. They're disabled, not idiots.
+Andreazor Yeah but its a fair question dont you think? no one is calling him an idiot, or should we just let people go infront of us and not ask a question for fear it might offend someone?
POLICE MATRIX It was said in a much more rude way, and in Swedish :p
My dad bumped into someone, whilst blatantly blind, and gets that reaction. I just think it was funny.
The thing about belittling those with disabilities had nothing to do with that though. I've just phrased myself poorly.
+Andreazor ah ok sorry, just think (and not aimed at your here) that some people are looking for it , reading some of my comments they are quite harsh so i will be deleting a few
true
+POLICE MATRIX no, you don't need to just let people bump into you but you certainly don't need to say, "what are you, blind?" That is completely rude! A simple, "excuse me" works.
What a brilliant video! As someone with a disability it is hard to explain the cloying, patronising, embarrassing way the media usually portrays people with disabilities.
It is so rare to find a video like this one that treats us like real people & that maintains a sense of humour. I can not explain how impressed I am. More like this please!
I get this sometimes too. I have Asperger's Syndrome and sometimes don't know how to express myself, or respond to people's comments. One example was when I went on a university visit and was waiting in line to see the disability student advisors. A man came up to me and said, "Excuse me, I think you're in the wrong line. You don't look like you have a disability." So I responded with, "Well you don't look ignorant, but I guess we can't judge on personal appearance!" And then I walked off, and my mum burst out laughing! :)
Haha I've done similar things.
Georgia Mae I have Asperger's too
NICE 👍 high-five from fellow Aspie, 10/10 sick burn
Oh my god the deaf guy ( sorry dont know his name) is so handsome!
And so sassy!
ikrrrr
Ikr!! He's adorable!
LOVENPEACES2 .... he DID state (as does every other "disabled" person) referring to someone as "the deaf guy" or the "wheelchair guy" Is totally unacceptable. if you DID find him attractive then you're in for disappointment as you didn't even have the DECENCY to remember his name only remembering someone's disability is about as bigger INSULT as u can get.
It depends on the person, actually. For most people it's just a description if you don't know their name.
"I'm a Hindu, I don't have beef with anyone" Haha legend
J. Carr Ha didn't even get it first time.
+J. Carr literally was about to comment that. What a quote xD
my grandparents have blind friends that are a couple and they drive them to church every Sunday and we have a blind senator in Washington I've met. they are both cheerful, inspirational people and they know they wouldn't change anything for the world.
I worked in a job center with a blind guy. At EVERY official meeting he would ask " do you do that in braille?" and before the top knob answered would say " I will feel you about that later" LOL Workmates who were amputees used to say "sorry, must run along now" Brilliant sense of humour and taught me A LOT !
I don't fit into the binary of disabled, my biggest issue is that people don't understand why i might be in my wheelchair one day but not the next and instead of just asking about it they gossip behind my back and living in a small town it always gets back to me.
Im sorry to hear that, if you dont mind, what causes that?
terri-louise Ó leathlobhair EDS?
fibromyalgia
terri-louise Ó leathlobhair Im sorry to hear that :(
I kind of know what you feel like man. I have arthritis, one day I need help just to get out of my seat next day I can run miles so people get confused
I'm disabled.. I have a chronic illness that effects my immune system.. it basically makes my immune system attack healthy organs because it is interpreting them as foreign objects.. multiple surgeries, not being able to walk normally, wearing braces... the worst thing, in my opinion, is being told that "You look perfectly fine, until you start limping.." or like, one of my faves.. "You're so beautiful.. you should start walking normal and try putting on makeup and stop holding your stomach..". I'd love to, good sir, but I can't. Thank you for the input lol
"What word do u prefer?" "Jack" which is his name...I love their honesty and sarcasm...
Kudos for BBC Three's programming on disability. What I've seen of it is very impressive (not without issues at all but well ahead of what one usually sees in various media). I wish PBS would do something this ambitious.
hahaha omg i'm in love with the woman with the pink hair
Emily Yates. she's awesome and you can follow her on Twitter.
The most annoying thing is when someone asked about my disabilities & how they affect me... Then tell me I am wrong about my analysis of my own conditions & how they affect me on a day to day basis; or that specialists doctors have misdiagnosed me, because obviously this person I have just met knows more about my conditions o.O
I really don't mind people asking questions, if they really want to know & learn but arguing about my answer is just annoying.
Sammy Ariel I get this ALL THE TIME. everyone is a fekkin neurologist apparently. bunch of mindless ass holes I would call them
I always reply to those people 'Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a consultant neurologist. Oh hang on. YOU'RE NOT.'
I am profoundly deaf in both ears from mumps as a pre-born baby, so can identify with the deaf man in the video. One thing that really pisses me off is when companies such as DirectLine assume that everyone on Earth can hear, so expect you to phone them to cancel or change a policy, and no damn email facility. I cannot use the phone. So I obtained their main office address online and wrote to them that my old Renault 19 car is now scrapped...please cancel my car insurance for this car, only to receive a letter saying to PHONE the other office in another part of England. Bloody idiots!
This happened to me again before then in booking my driving test, only I was required to phone the DVLA office in Glasgow. I could have needed a translator to translate Scottish by an Indian man into English; my well-hearing friend who I visited had to take over the phone from me, and even he had difficulty understanding this “foreign language” with its double vowels and rolling 'R' ( R’s oles). With compassion and empathy, one could ask a disabled person: How does it affect you? Can I be of any help? And treat them as normal, equal people and lovingly overlook their handicap.
Sad really, as he is making everyone hate him and making himself unhappy. Remember Jesus' words: with the judgement that he is judging others, by that judgement he will be judged, and by your words you will be condemned. He is missing out on the good loving friendships that our dear brothers enjoy. Not that I care about him anymore after he called me a deaf fuck. He can die at Armageddon for all I care and I wouldn't care at all. (PS my College is almost finished thank you).
*****
Yes, C (being discreet with your name here for now). Thank you for your empathy and support.
I cannot see any benefit him behaving this way, can you? Rotten personality-rotten life, it is a vicious circle. He is brainwashed by the evil spirits, under their control. He reminds me of a rabid dog that is simply taken to the vet and put down, instead of enjoying a good life under its loving Owner. Insulting Jehovah God with an implicit blowjob reference is extremely low and shallow and results only in lacking His blessing. Why?! What good is that going to do for his miserable life, making his life worse by insulting Jehovah God, the Universal Sovereign, the Creator? Imagine how his life would be so much better if he just knew Jehovah God and His Witnesses. Otherwise he has no hope.
Let us hope that he comes to his senses, and snaps out of his satanic hypnosis, and becomes a nice friendly loving bloke and happy as a worshipper of Jehovah with a good life.
You still don't get it, do you? Suppose you did get a PS4, then what? You'll get bored and still you have learnt NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL.
I play computer games and they are fun, but there is more to life; after all, blasting Darth Vader's forces and ships to hell in my Star Wars game is not really spiritually instructive(!) haha. This still does not answer life's important questions: why are we here? what happens when we die? WHY do we die? what is the purpose of life? does it make sense to even be born to live a short time only to die? What is God's purpose for us? is it to live forever in a Paradise Earth? why is the Earth here? There are two books you need to read: the Book of Creation and God's Book for you, that you will find very beneficial for a happy life.
Deriding Jehovah God is not logical proof that He does not exist, you daft twit. He DOES exist, believe me, just you don't know it yet in your spiritual blindness. You have an incredible brain, cleverly designed by our Maker, but try using it properly to see the beauty of the heavens, the design of all living things such as plants and the incredible DNA, to appreciate the existence of a loving Creator. There is the invisible realms in nature and the spirit realm that you cannot yet see.
What is the Intellect behind the detailed words of the trillions of instructions in the DNA with advanced mathematics explaining 3-D geometry for proteins to make say the curvature of your ear? Your body is marvelously designed and yet you mock the existence of your very own Maker who made it. You are like the patient who visits the GP; you could verbally abuse the GP as much as you like and refuse to be treated, but you are still the one who has the disease, to use an illustration. it is not the GP's problem but yours. It is not my problem that you are spiritually blind; mock all you want but you are the one who is miserable with no hope and no future at the moment unless you turn to Jehovah God. You don't need to phone: just say for now: "Jehovah God, in Jesus' name, please hear me, give me your holy spirit to help me with my problems and to have a better life...guide me". I speak to you kindly.
pluckyfella7 shut up plz.
"I'm Hindi I don't have beef with anyone" THAT BURN WAS BEAUTIFULLY CRAFTED.
"I'm Hindu. I don't have beef with anyone."
AMAZING.
"I don't have beef with everyone!" That's pure gold! Thanks for sharing this. :)
OMG someone thought deaf people hear underwater.... did he think you are a merman?
I thought I was the only deaf person who wondered why people were asking me how old I was. Glad to see I'm not alone!
2:59 "'am a Hindu i don't have beef with anyone" Bars.
If he became less shy he could become top 5 rappers dead or alive.
I'm in a wheelchair and I think the "you're so inspiring" thing is number one.
Like I'm at the grocery store and people tell me how inspiring I am. I have done nothing special??
I'm only human!
i think they mean that you are doing very wel while some people who have no disabilaties are always complaining about things?
Yah but I mean I don't have another choice...
Last Young Renegade Your absolutely wrong my friend! Life is full of choices regardless of your disabilities! For example, you do have the choice of totally giving up, cashing in all your chips and.... well, killing yourself for a way out! Granted, that's not a good choice most of the time but it certainly a choice regardless... When you view yourself as having no choices, there are no options left. Rsrely will you ever find yourself without ANY options, it's really a case of what choices are good, viable and intelligent as opposed to not having a single choice.... I'm continually in chronic agonizing pain, but I choose to put up with it any way I'm able to rather than kill myself to end the pain & suffering, sometimes I think about that but ultimately I make the choice of hanging on & trying to manage the pain in any semi reasonable fashion. I have the option of ending my struggle, but I prefer to hang on and fight.... You see? There's almost always a choice to be made! Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise! As Long as you choose to fight the disability you're exercising a good choice!
When you convince yourself that you don't have a choice, you're making a choice to give up!
You are worth it, choose to fight the good fight! Bless all of you, I became disabled at 35 years old, I've been disabled for 26 years and counting now... Was it worth hanging on, givin the fact that my pain is chronic and gets progressively worse with time.... I don't know, I'm still here, and I'm still choosing to fight...
If we ever meet in the after life, ask me then, I'll know the answer at that time I imagine, until then I'm exhausting my possibilities one by one and choosing to forge on... and that's the choice I've made! 😉 Sorry this was such a long post, I'm just passionate I guess???
You can choose to not be bothered by other people and try to see it from their side.
The girl with the twin has a youtube channel and was on the Sparticle Mystery
you are my sunshine i wish her sister anserd to about her scoliosis
I have an invisible physical disability, so I am constantly told, "but you don't look sick." I would understand if these people didn't know anything about me, but it's usually that people say this after I tell them I have a chronic invisible illness. It's then that they say things like "but you don't look sick" and "well when will you get better?" I just told you. It's invisible. And it's chronic.
+ALYSSADOESLIFE Yeah I have POTS, and all my life I have never understood why I would always get sick or why I would be so tired all the time or why I would get short of breath really quickly. I used to love having a cold because then people would be sympathetic and believe me when I would say that I physically could not do something. Its hard having an invisible disability
Jane Doe I have POTS as well as I totally understand what you mean about the cold thing. I feel the same way
+ALYSSADOESLIFE I remember my history teacher telling me on graduation that he thought I would be a rebellious kid on the first day of his class because I put my feet up on the table. I didnt understand why I needed to do it then but now its kind of funny looking back on all the things that made me a "bad kid" that were really just my body trying to protect itself
Me too. I have CRPS and Chronic fatigue. Someone that once told me I was too young to be disabled. 😕
I've heard that before, way too many times.
watching this video makes me feel so much better because I know now that I'm not insane! I don't want to sit in the corner and be anybody's inspiration and I don't need anyone to tell me that I don't look disabled. sometimes I get so frustrated with how people talk to me. condescending baby talk isn't Fun when your a fully intelligent adult. it's nice to know that some people just get it.
As a visually impaired person, the most frequent and somewhat irritating question I get is: "Would glasses help with that?"....errr no. ¬__¬
Kezia E.A.Wilkinson as another visually impaired person, I just want to say they don't know. There are some conditions that glasses can help with. From their perspective it is easy to understand. The only thing I hate hearing is when people who wear glasses who don't have any diagnosis like a visual impairment saying that they are blind when they take their glasses off. Now the people who can improve some of their vision with glasses are still visually impaired, so I don't mind when they say that.
I've been in a wheelchair for 16 years and what I love is when someone may use the word walk. Example, "If you walk right in there and can get what you need; it would be a miracle." My reply, "if I walked in there it would be a miracle in itself." Yes I love wheelchair humor, I will throw out a wheelchair joke before I realize what I'm even saying. I have even found myself using the word walk, I guess that will never go away. My ex boyfriend forgot a few times that I was in a wheelchair. One day he grabbed all of the groceries and when walking to the house; he stood there for about five minutes waiting for me to bring him the keys, when I didn't come he put the groceries down and came looking for me frustrated. He then realized he forgot to get the chair out and noticed the, "your a dumb ass look on my face." I have been told many times that I don't act like I'm in a wheelchair, this statement still gets to me. How do you act like your in a wheelchair?
How do deaf people develop accents?? That's a genuine cognitive linguistic question
+公孙徵羽 like everyone else does. they won't be 100% deaf if they can talk so you can understand them
Three things:
Firstly, you can see an accent on the lips. I'm not Deaf, but I can tell whether someone is speaking English or French on a silent video.
Second, most Deaf people who can speak have had intensive speech therapy. The therapist naturally trains them to use the same accent they have.
Third, not all Deaf people are completely deaf. The guy in the video has a hearing aid, so that indicates he has some hearing. With a hearing aid, sometimes it's possible to hear a bit of what someone's saying.
It's not perfect, that's why Deaf people also tend to have a Deaf accent.
I know someone who was born profoundly deaf. We were talking a lot and I only realized he was deaf after he asked me to make sure I was facing him when talking because otherwise he wouldn't be able to "see" what I was saying. He has no speech impediment, he doesn't "sound deaf". Speech therapy can be pretty impressive sometimes.
not deaf either but being able to read somebody's language on a muted video does confuse me i mean to me muted just looks muted
Omg my worst one is people constantly telling me that "you're not disabled" gets so old
Blithe Dream i lnow right what do you have
As a person with a physical disability you can't see I have been in the funniest and most awful situations!
for my tourettes, i get a lot of animal comparisons, eg: "you sound like a mouse!" , "is there a dog in here??". i used to have guinea pigs, and they actually thought i was talking to them when I ticced. also, on bad days, teachers often ask me if i want to leave the room. kinda feels like a polite way of saying " you're annoying me, go away".
Someone asked me "Have you been to Lourdes?"
Arrgh!
People like me need to spend extra time socializing one another and it's important to embrace our words. Sometimes, we focus on our Pros and Cons to take everything serious.
I have Muscular Dystrophy and it annoys me when people say I'm such an inspiration
I don't mind if people I know and see me struggle with my CRPS every day think I'm an inspiration. I struggle a lot. What bugs me is when random people say it. They don't know me.
As a disabled person, I agree with literally all of these! Some of the questions are so ridiculous and a few are just damn out of order.
I have 3 invisible disabilities and 1 kinda visable illness and I'm in foster care my case worker used to leave out I was disabled untill the families met me 4 years later she told me " no one wants a trans disabled out of control kid" I'm 16 still in foster care and her words ring in my head every single day
Do you hear under the water? Laughing so much I may break a rib!
Omg I love Jack Binstead so much, such a legend. Last bit is so true. Why do we need a label? Just call us by our name!
that guy at the end looks so chill, i think he's cool
I find this really difficult sometimes with my Aspergers, we think differently to other people and we can find it hard to understand simple questions. People all always asking really horrible insensitive things like: Could please stop masturbating?
0:40... I actually think the way he speaks is really cute. I love the way he speaks a lot!
The girl who does not have part of her right arm: to be fair, she said the kid that asked was in primary school - that's kind of young - young kids have questions that might sound foolish, but really aren't - that's how we learn!
So, I am multiply disabled and have been my whole life. For I just wish people didn't feel the need to belittle me. Or say oh you can't be deaf or hard of hearing you know what I am saying or I don't see your hearing aid. NOT all deaf people have hearing aids, they are quite costly, and do't work for everyone.
"im a hindu. i dont have beef with anyone." PURE FUCKING GOLD HOLYSHIT
I'm physically disabled. it's not easily seen, and I get alot of people saying to me "your disabled? you don't look disabled. you must be faking!"
I have 5 operation in my leg after 2 years I go to school which is today I had suffered a lot and try to be happy today a girl ask me how are you I said I'm fine then she tell me if you are fine why are you walking like a disabled...I felt very sad this brings me here.....
I wish more people would watch this videos
I'm disabled but not walker or week chair bound it's just painful to do lots of activity or none at all
its so hard being disabled ,, my mind wants to do things ,, its my body that holds me back ,, if not for my fortune of being able to have a family that has farmland and living on that farm , i would have gotten into drugs and all sorts of organized crime ,, my disability prevents me from regular employment and if i had to live in a town or city , and after paying the overly high amount of rent i would just barely make ends meet ,, it like living just to wait for death ,, it makes no sense ,, the only reason i am feeling better about life now , is due to my girlfriend , we have been dating now for over a year and she is a very persistent lady and the persistence alone helps , not to mention that she is a very great person with a great personality ,, i love her with everything i have ,, she is my beautiful angel ,, on another topic ,,, with all the so called christians out there , why when asked for the help they say they would offer , do i always get the " if i were not so busy answer ",, they should not say they will help if they really will not ,,
I normally hate things like this & I still do. You can't learn if you don't ask & if people are going to make you feel stupid, you're going to learn not to like people with disabilities.
alyssa caeytano So because we don’t want to explain to you in the middle of a mall our medical history or how we go to the bathroom, you are going to hate the largest minority group (54 million people)? That makes sense. 😳
had the deaf guy help me in the bank one time.. really nice lad
The deaf boy is so cute!
I had to teach my class for a lesson, so I asked my teacher if I can teach about this, he said yes and to my shock my class actually listened (they usually are always talking). My teacher loved the lesson and I loved teaching them about this because it interests me.
Thank you, this is so true.
Bleeeeh, I can relate. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. No one seems to know what that is and it's annoying. Though, it's perfect to show of and creep them out a bit when I turn my foot around or bend my toes back, or use my foot as a pretend phone. 8D
hahah i can relate to a lot of that and more.. as ive been physically disabled since birth..however lets not make it a big..otherwise they will .. i charge into a situation like i own it and have gotten a lot of respect for it and not having feel sorry for me because of it..Its not big deal..just deal with it and move on.. always worked for me..:)
being disabled and have a very rare disease people are sometimes like "explain the whole thing" that gets very annoying. sometimes i can walk and sometimes i have to use my wheel chair or crutches or walker, and sometimes people only see me without my wheel chair and there like "are you lying about your disease?" ... it also makes em feel a bit gross when people say "youre so inspiring " i lived with it since birth so its liek your saying your inspired by me surving its sort of idk cringey
Me too I have CRPS which no one really knows about so it's pretty annoying.
Yes! It's the worst when people think "you're a fraud" or something... I have a physical disability and almost always walk with a slightly limp, you can hardly notice it. But when I'm in a wheelchair and I move my legs or stand up, people stare at me as if I have three heads or something... It's so nice when other people get it!
TrendyyWendyy I have a slight limp aswell, its so cool to have someone who gets it.
Jeah I also hate it when people genuinly want to know more
I have a disability AND a UA-cam channel. I need to do this for a video, haha. (:
i am disabled but not deaf . however i sign really well cause my mam taught me . i have a lot of deaf friends . i met a friend in the car park of our local retail park . we had not seen each other in years and signed away at each other . a bloke started screaming at us saying all sorts of vile things at us . i left my friend and started signing at the bloke . he continued screaming at me saying he had no clue what i was saying and it was pointless cause i could not her him . I then signed and said very loudly at him "NOT EVERYONE WHO SIGNS IS DEAF" the entire car park laughed at him . i felt great for the rest of the week . the world is full of idiots .
So you felt great for a week cause you brought someone down? I think I know your disability now
I think that when someone says "You're so brave" or "I think it's amazing that someone disabled is doing great things"... they don't mean it as an insult or to be patronizing. I think most people genuinely think that it is amazing because they aren't disabled. They can only imagine how difficult it might be. The rest of the things said to disabled people though... just ignorant. Ew.
Miss Vendetta Just because they don't mean it to be patronizing, though, doesn't mean it isn't.
I agree I have cerebral palsy and potty pisses me off when people do that .
And it pisses me off sorry about the spelling.
Some of these questions are just plain absurd.
I'm not deaf, but I have a pretty significant hearing loss so I TOTALLY relate to the how are you/how old are you thing😂 it's super awkward
I get 'how are you' and 'how old are you' mixed up all the time.
I'm not deaf.
I'm honestly suprised no one looked at the camera like they were in the office at the line "would you fix things?" . like surely that would be an obvious yes.
i also like to think at least one of them has replied to the "so inspiring" comment with "I've watched netflix for the whole weekend and scoffed ice cream."
I wouldn't want to be ''fixed'' I'm a wheelchair user and paralysed and I'm happy as I am. I do everything I want to do, I have children and an ex husband and I'm in a relationship with my soul mate.
Yes, the "Oh ,you're so --------" strong brave, inspiring fill in the Fucking blank. I actually learned to swear because people were telling me how...I was and my life was because I can feed myself and navigate my own home. Worse were the people that thought my kids should be taken away because I'm different! I ACTUALLY HAD TO GO TO COURT at one point, in my wheelchair, don't drive, and the most un-amusing moment was watching the Judge come out on crutches, because of a sprained ankle and just Gawp at me. OMG. Thankfully, it turned out ok. The Judge came out and said that he had a ton of respect for me, because I was there early, and he drive a stick and knew just how miserable public transport was, he was late.
I am mildly disabled, and I hate it when people say you don't look disabled, and when you In the car, the wost,one ever,because I have a bule,disabled,pass ,and people start looking at me,thinking I am not mind disabled, and I am beuse,I have autism and dyspirixa,epsisy, and another Heath promers,Aimee Parker
I'm Deaf and I get "how are you" and "how old are you" mixed up all the time lol and sometimes people will speak to me and all I'll hear is "mmrmmgmghrhemrmrm?" so I just sit there and nod stupidly cause I'm scare dof annoying them when I ask them to repeat themselves XD
I'm not deaf but I still get those questions mixed up because some people speak so quickly!
my best friend is deaf I would never change her from the word. it's like she has a super power; lip reading. we just mouth across class rooms!
Estelle Killick me and my mute friend used to use sign language to talk across the classroom hehe
I would love to learn sign language
Ellie Williams mute is offensive to deaf people. Not bashing just stating a fact because a deaf person mentioned it in another video.
I’m a dollar tree cashier with cerebral palsy and one time I was filling balloons for someone and as I was walking back to them they asked “are you okay you’re limping” and I had to restrict the urge to slap them across the face
What I get is "You don't look disabled, are you on tablets for what you got, is there a cure."
OMFG WERE THOSE GIRLS ON THAT HORROR SHOW WHERE THEY JUDGE HOMEMADE SHORT FILMS!!???
I remember the girl with 1 hand being in the Spartical Mystery, my childhood xD
at 00:14 there's this white blond guy, I would like to know his name... Anyone knows if he has any kind of social platform so I can follow him?
Any help would be appreciated. Have a good day!
Ok doesn't the girl who has one hand look like a white version of Solange
You are all lovely to me.
It's holly from the Sparticle mistery at least she's nice in real life
oh, I remember that!
"How do you have sex?" "I'll show you" Me: GLADLY
I'm sometimes annoyed by constantly being referred to as "disabled" - it implies that I am "not able" to do anything that everybody else does, even though currently I am on crutches and can't do many things "normal" people do - which is another reference I hate. I am just as normal as anybody else, I'm not an alien from Mars, I just have a few health problems. I think "partially disabled" is tolerable, but "disabled" sounds as though I can't do anything at all. I know it is only a minor issue, I'm used to it and can even laugh about it - my mother used to always refer to me as being "crippled," that's the term they used in her day!
Brian Barcus what do you have
@Brian Barcus: Thank you! I feel the same way about the word 'disabled', I wish it could be changed to 'differently-abled'.
I think he is not able to understand how normal people think
I'm mute and I hear all these things so often, ugh
"Can you have sex?" This question is so inappropriate yet I get it ALL the time.
I KNOW!! It's like it's none of your business random person I don't know well enough for you to ask me that.
+Saphire Chaplain not your problem whether I have it to someone who asks , people have sex , with a disability or not and also I am not inspiring just me
Saphire Chaplain i get that... im a 14 year old guy...
I would love to see one based on invisible illnesses
2:31 i just want to hug him!!! that sad look:(((
I'm a hindu, I don't have beef with anyone. I love it!
Actually I find the stupid questions people ask amusing, it gives me the opportunity to be sarcastically clever when I respond.... what's even more amusing is when I have to explain my clever responses & I say to them, I'm terribly sorry I wasn't aware that you intellectually impaired! 😉
Wow your life/disability must really suck if you have to be so bitter
A stupid question not to ask a blind person is how many fingers am I holding up? It pisses me off every time since I'm legally blind.
Being disabled is like eating an apple: maybe spend a bit of time trying to defy the label at first, but then think 'Fuck it!' and dive in regardless.
Well, the paper and glue produce stickers are made of are non-toxic but if you wan't to get rid of them try transparent tape.
"I'm a Hindu. I don't have beef with anyone."
SAVAGE AF!!!!!
wait, is that the guy from bad education
I have a disability and guess what it’s invisible so everyone is like your such a great person training that service dog for someone and I’m like ummm she’s mine
"Im Hindu I don't have beef with anyone" Sweet Jesus that's the good line. 10/10
No beef with anyone!
THE FIRST TIME I MET MY BOYFRIENDS DAD, HE REACHED HIS HAND OUT TO SHAKE MINE. THE ONLY THING WAS WAS THAT HE HAD CUT OFF HIS FINGERS ON A TABLE SAW AND HE REACHED OUT TO SHAKE MY HAND WITH WHAT WAS LEFT. SO I SHOOK HIS STUMPY HALF HAND. IT WAS WHAT HE PUT OUT FOR ME TO SHAKE. MORE AWKWARD FOR ME THAN HIM, I GUESS
OMG I can't believe someone was dumb enough to ask that
How else do you supposed to be I have cerebral palsy as well I had to cut a lot of people out of my life it's just got too much most of the people that I know are famous people not that it matters and people who know me only want to hang around because I know famous people so what they're not doing anything for me they're just people who are very successful and what they do I had someone I was feeling deeply for this one off for quite some time a number of years just recently the person told me not to call her anymore she should have told me that in the beginning and not wait for years I'm not angry at her she has her own feelings that wouldn't have worked out anyway I think I put her on a pedestal without even looking at the real person
as long as these questions can be stupid, and often are not stupid the questions, but the answers are, you will not live the CREEPY situations that I live in Italy!
I'm is the girl with one hand an actor. I think i've seen on cbbc
Random Person yep the sparticle mystery
This is really problematic, while it spotlights individuals with physical disabilities which is awesome. Even the title of the video has ableist underpinnings ignoring the other side of disability. Still pretty cool though.
