    To the person who thinks thezombiekiller is a cool name
    I’d much rather leave my money to someone with downsydrome, then to a close minded prick like yourself :)

    Even though it’s illegal to discriminate against someone with a disability, people do it because it’s almost impossible to prove.

    It is an all-too common scenario throughout the world.

    Electing “politically correct” governments has done NOTHING to help.

    350%? Who then do you count as unemployed?

    @Meescool2 You are a bit of a dickhead to say the least. Let us all promote only the most gifted in society, the result? More powerful weapons, more pesticides, more economic meltdowns.

    Being discriminated against is real and happens to many many people including me. I went to school and got a degree in Accounting (4) year degree and took computers and have 17 years of solid job experience and was in two car wrecks one in 1992 and one in 2006 and now cannot get any job. No matter what they look at me and lie to me about jobs that do not even exist. Temp agencies are evil and tell you about non existant jobs. I have been to 138 places to no avail. I hate Oregon. It is bad here.

    she has equal rights but you shoudl be able to do the job reasonably. So if she can;t do the job she shouldn’t get it jsut because theya re disabled

    Thanks for posting this ad of how bad discrimination is among the disabled. I use a walker due to a car wreck that was not my falt and cannot get a job here in Oregon even with a 5 year Accounting degree. I took many computer courses and thought I did everything right and was in a car wreck in 2005 and 1992. I have been out of work since August of 2009 and have been to 140 places to look for a job most of them agencies. Employers are evil and know you cannot prove this.

    I must admit there’s a certain Fridge Horror to this video. Watching it back, it does look like the interviewers were playing with the applicant for shits and giggles. It’s almost as if the interviewers were saying, “Lloyd might not like you because you’re disabled! You might do things wrong! You’re different and odd! Lloyd is scary and might make or break you…”

    (awkward silence)

    “Just kidding, he’s just unnaturally prejudiced against house music. Haha, your face!”

    When was the last time you had to take an IQ test in an interview? Interviews should focus on whether the individual is the right person for the job – in this case, if the woman submitted a good application form, impressed the interviewers and appeared fully capable of doing the job, then there’s no reason why she shouldn’t do it. Also, IQ isn’t a qualification – employers look at the actual qualifications (eg, NVQs, GCSEs) that people possess.

    @vitaedigest because the smartest are usually multi-billion airs and we dont even know of there existence not alone what they say. just kidding. I have a theory which is smarter people can stand up and fight for there case unlike the less fortunate, hence. eg. we would expect more from Einstein than an alcoholic. now thats discrimination and certainly not equal. Wise words: Never judge!

    There is a grain of salt to be taken with this. While noone should be rejected purely on the basis of a disability, some disabilities do disqualify people from some occupations. Case in point: Down’s syndrome sufferers have a median IQ of half that of the average population; ergo, someone with Down’s syndrome with diminished cognitive capacities – not all, not even close – would be less qualified for some jobs, such as professorship, engineering, and so on. That said, there would be exceptions.

    @garyrollinson1984 I wouldn’t want you to work for me since you can’t spell. That’s not discrimination, that’s you not being able to meet my expectations and the requirements for the job.

    He should have said, “You’re not really a fucking retard, are you?”

    Retards are mistakes, kill them with fire before they get a chance to grow up. They’re destroying and polluting society with their plague.

    By the way, kudos to anyone that thinks it’s clever to say, “Hur hur you’re a retard” or “at least a retard is smarter than you hur hur hur.” I’m sure you’re all “SPESHUL” too.

    Fucking retards. xD

    @vitaedigest That is true, and that place is specially reserved for presidents of nations.
    Ask me about my president, Alvaro Colom of Guatemala.
    The stupidest, most corrupt vermin in all the universe!

    RALLY AGAINST CUTS IN BIRMINGHAM ON NOVEMBER 13TH. DISABILITY FOCUSED.
    RALLY AGAINST CUTS Nov 13 Birmingham

    2 pm, NOVEMBER 13th

    CARRS LANE CHURCH, BIRMINGHAM B4 7SX

    Join Disabled People Against Cuts ( DPAC) at an anti-cuts rally.

    The cuts put forward by the coalition government in the budget and Comprehensive Spending Review will hit disabled people disproportionately hard. A recent DEMOS report says that by 2015 disabled people will lose £9bn.

    Add your voices to ours.

    @telemetry9 Absolutely. It started with Blair & Brown, slowly but surely. For now, its the sick, the disabled, the unemployed. It will not stop there. Wake up, before its too late. Reminiscent of Nazi Germany. It took about twenty years of more of social engineering to culminate in Nazism. Why are the Brits comatosed? There is much more to loose by apathy. The mob will first attack the sick, disabled, elderly, then turn on each other, and perhaps, when too late, the elite.

    @Nikkisneeds I have manic depression, just ignore people that pull that stunt on people… they usually do it because they had an alcoholic parent and have a hair across their ass… and to make them feel superior to you… sad pathetic losers really.

    Don’t pretend they are actually interested in finding “fraudsters” If they were genuine in doing that they would be after the trillions lost to tax evasion. This is about using the vulnerable as a reason and diversion from the real problems in society. IT is about singling out those who they believe can’t fight back. You don’t pick on the strong.
    I have been fighting this growing fascism – but it is frustrating when so many people believe the daily mail lies about benefits.

  37. telemetry9

    22. Feb, 2011

    Fascism creeps up slowly and insidiously into any society. Germany was not unique. A growing fascism is increasing in Britain. It is fueled by the media and their attacks and misrepresentations of people who are sick and disabled. The popular belief is growing that something needs to be “done” about people on benefits. It is simply another form of blaming those who are vulnerable for the ills of society. It is fascism. Benefit claimant = criminal?

    Freebritain1 are you suggesting they just lock us awaw for our own “safety”?

    Thank you for trying to help people understand let me know if I can be of service, I am an experienced disabled rights advocate and avid public speaker, keep me posted.

    22. Feb, 2011

    And I’ll just reconfirm after that, that this is a brilliant video, which highlights that there is more than one world created by almighty God, for His purpose. May they ‘all’ be respected. Amen

    I would just like to point out that no-one featured in this video is in serious pain and none of the individuals has a serious, long term illness to manage such as a neurological illness, heart condition and the like which may affect several (or even all) body systems. Some illnesses are far from simple to manage and it is vital for the individual concerned to be allowed to manage their own health in safety.

    Wonderful!!
    My daughter was in a chair for a year. Even as a child, developed a keen awareness of how the world doesn’t ‘fit’ those with physical challenges..a personal pet peeve,,handi cap toilets,,, for wheelchairs only,, not for mom’s with children,, =) I love the training here for nurse’s that requires a few days in a chair, without ability to verbally communicate, giving a sense of what their patients are experiencing!
    Well done PosterBrat and Thank You!
