Erm, Rusty. I am not ranting.
Just saying that if you were paralysed from the neck down in an accident, that event in your life has not 'made you stronger'
Never mentioned mocking anyone who has had such an unfortunate accident.
Tend to think of you asked them, though, they would agree with me
That clearer for you?
@blood-on-the-tracks saidI've worked among these people and they laugh about their mishaps not as serious as you might think. Once they adjust to what has happened their different people than they were before obviously but are stronger too!!!

@Very-Rusty
Ok, Rusty
We will agree to disagree
Of course, you could argue that ANY physical disability 'makes you stronger' in mind
As I said, not sure all of the recipients of such would agree with you

I may P.M. you sometime and talk to you privately about my experience with people who have physical disabilities!

@the-pickled-walrus saidBut I like it. Lack of intellect, humour and a good heart or even an evil mind can destroy any look. It leaves a person empty and shallow.

@torunn saidThe famous Oscar Wild Quote (from a Picture fo Dorian Grey) Comes to mind:

"Intelligence is an Exaggeration in itself and destroys the harmony of any face."
The 13 month, 17-flight SpaceShipOne flight test program included just six rocket powered flights,three of which flew to space (above 100 Km). In comparison, the X-15 program (which included 3 testaircraft) took 3 years 4 months, and 110 flights to reach 50 miles altitude (80.5 Km), and 4 years 4months to reach Space (100 Km altitude).

It is always easier to do a thing the second time than the first. And to do it the fifth or sixth time should be comparably a piece of cake.
