Ask not what the US can do for you, but what you can do for the US.

Isn't this the exact same scenario you're claiming? Your friends should take personal responsibility instead of asking the government to bend to them. No?

(I'm trying to understand your logic here and how it applies to multiple circumstances. I think they're incongruous here, but I don't understand why.)

You dont need to spend that sort of money to make it so a wheelchair person can use the pooper. Govt regulations require you spend that sort of money.

Therein lies the problem.

They don't, though. Once someone turns 18 they are legally no one's responsibility but their own self's.

So you quit loving your mom and dad at 18 ?

And Im callous ?

What does that have anything to do with what I said?

Your discussion here has been nongenuine and not helpful. Better if you just didn't comment at all.

You're getting it backwards.

Your parents are only legally required to care for you up until your 18th birthday. Their function as a safety net may end at that moment. Plenty of folks have shitty, abusive, or neglectful parents who wash their hands of their children at the first opportunity.

Ah, so you're essentially arguing that people with disability essentially deserve to die if their family can't or won't take care of them.

That's a wonderful way to look at running a society. There's really not much else to say other than it's an incredibly warped viewpoint.

Not everyone has a family to fall back on.

> Their family has that responsibility.

Orphans? Abused children? What happens to them?
