Reasonable concessions can be made, at least out of sympathy for your fellow human.
You can probably walk more than 1000 feet without serious pain. I can't, but you can't tell outwardly until I'm sitting on the ground in tears because of the pain.
This line of reasoning is why finding a disabled parking spot when I need one is an act in frustration -- usually because people who don't need it park there because "it'll just be a minute, and there aren't that many handicapped people out there..."
You can walk that extra distance. To me, that extra distance determines whether or not I can finish my day in a little pain, or have to stop early because it hurts too much.
- barrkel 7y agoReasonable concessions can be made, of course; but that's not what I'm arguing against. I'm saying that all possible concessions can't be made.
- mondoshawan 7y agoOf course not, but neither can all possible disabilities be accounted for, which is why the law was written the way it was. Nobody is arguing for all possible concessions to be made. That's a straw man you created yourself.
