I despair...

....sometimes of the people who jump on bandwagons and immediately start abusing those worse off than themselves. Twitter is a prime example of a medium which allows that type of person to spout bile and abuse, often anonymously, at others who don't fit their 'ideal' such LGBT people, benefits claimants, the sick or disabled. They wish them dead or to contract horrible diseases so that they can feel superior or somehow 'better' than their targets.
Also, those who attack women, verbally or physically need to take a good look at themselves as they are not fit to tie the shoelaces of those they set upon.
There is nothing wrong with being LGB or T, or claiming those benefits to which people are entitled to help them back on their feet, I prefer the term Social Security as this implies a safety net whereas benefits or welfare implies some sort of handout. Most people on social security have paid into the system which is designed to make such payments, many are working and are being paid such poor wages that they need support just to keep their heads above water.
The sick and disabled don't want to be ill or less mobile than others, many live full and rewarding lives despite their conditions and probably make a better contribution to society that some of these so called 'normal' people who deride them or worse wish them ill.
I will never understand the mind-set of those who do such things, attacking gay people in the street or abusing someone in a wheelchair is not big or clever, it doesn't make the attackers, they usually are too cowardly to act alone, better than the person who has been set upon. It is the attackers who are scum, not the victims.
No-one has the right to wish illness, misfortune or death on another person, nor to look down on someone who appears to them to be less fortunate than themselves.
We are all entitled to dignity and respect regardless of our physical appearance, mental condition, race, religion or sex, so please think before you look down or condemn someone, don't assume you know why they are as they are and most of all try to be good and kind.
Sorry if this seems a bit disjointed but it came to me all in a rush and that is how I've written it down, as a stream of conciousness rather than a lucid argument.
Anyway, Peace and Love. x ttfn
