So, help the handicapped, hinder our nation's future?
I see it this way too. They're old, their time is done. Our future is more important. These people expect discounts and handicapped parking but when it comes to homeless people they're "moochers?" No, they mooch just as much with their senior discounts. They don't deserve a discount or special treatment for being old, I hate old people. They're the worst, have NO regard for other people. The worst drivers on the planet. They're a danger and hazard to society, I don't care if they're old or handicapped.
Now, I believe in helping an ACTUAL handicap. Someone who honestly needs help. But a senior who can walk just fine, but they have a handicap parking sticker and they come up demanding a discount for being old...no, sorry, I don't agree with it and I won't agree with it when I'm that age. When I'm that age I'm gonna try my best to NOT act like an old fart. That includes refusing a discount.
