Is it wrong to use a wheelchair unnecessarily?

<p>you don’t need a wheelchair, so don’t use it! Either that or you are really obese.</p>

<p>Please WALK instead of using a wheelchair, you probably could live a few more years when you walk then using a wheelchair</p>

<p>Cardio-pulmonary strength is one of the leading health deficiency claimed by the USA to this day. If you wish to combat this epidimiological epidemic, you must put down that chair of malice and rise to the high acclaim of good fitness and physical well-being. Besides, if you don’t do it for morals, do it for your health.</p>

<p>your loss, don’t blame us when you get a heart attack at age 40</p>

<p>I’m assuming this is a non-electric wheelchair. Have you noticed an increase in upper body strength as a result of your debauchery.</p>

<p>haha halopeno…a chair of malice?</p>

<p>this is a joke, right? sorry, but the part about your parents being slightly embarrassed set off alarm bells :slight_smile:
and anyway, this is not immoral. disabled people don’t own the concept of wheelchairs.
and you can’t stop people from making assumptions about you (ie, when they walk by you they assume you’re disabled). it’s not your moral responsibility to make sure no one assumes something false about you.</p>

<p>wow lol. So many people are taking this seriosly. You don’t see the hilarity of this? Man I wish I lived by you, we could make some sweet movies playing around with random people.</p>

<p>i’m sure this is a joke, but sometimes playing around with hypothetical situations is a good way to think about morality</p>

<p>lol I’m just thinking stuff up right now. Know what would be good? Take a friend or two and go to the movies. Have them do EVERYTHING for you, from getting the door, holding your concessions, etc. Then park yourself in the middle of the isle, try and get a footrest and kick you feet up. Then when the movie ends, have your friends push you out of the theater (not the whole cinema, just the theater) and try to get the people to get out of your way; you know, send them the guilt trip. Right as you exit the theater, get up and walk away.<br>
I don’t know if this souns funny to you but I’m cracking up.</p>

<p>This really isn’t a joke, and I don’t see how using a wheelchair is any worse than riding a bicycle, exercise-wise.</p>

<p>One time I went to a food court, wheeled around getting free samples, and then immedietely made a second lap while walking. No one seemed to notice.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s a pretty junky wheelchair. It can’t go really fast without rattling and decelerating. Also, one wheel seems to grip a little better than the other so I have to apply unequal forces to the wheels. You could probably do a lot better for $100.</p>

<p>the food court sample ppl dont care how many times you go by. i went by, flipped my hair back went by again, then went by again with it normal again.</p>

<p>Yeah, I’ve done multiple laps without changing anything. I was merely pointing out that no one noticed or was offended by me getting out of my wheelchair.</p>
