I am increasingly angered by the "We have no money" routine that the austerity supporters, seem to cleve so dearly to.
Likewise the many, many threads on MN that are disabelist, anti working class, wilfully ignorant, and just plain bigoted especially against people who have any ind of illness or disability. I see these threads all over MN not just in politics, chat, or AIBU. In fact I wear as a badge of pride my last deleted post on a relationship thread where someone wanted to be told it was fine to belittle, and undermine their partner as she did not believe HIM, when he said he was depressed.
In response, and since in particular the welfare jealous, the "disabled people should work if "Stephen Hawkins can" brigade, those that think that disabled people have far too many rights and privileges, and in fact for the majority of people in society who think disability is all about wheelchaires and guide dogs, those groups allways stop short of saying what it is that they want to see happen. Well let me help them by giving you all a look at an article, it makes it clear, that Language is a tool of the mind, people can tell pretty much what you think by the way you say things, at least Colin Brewer made clear what we in the disability community have known for a long time.
