Yes, you are entitled to your own opinion. But there is a difference between "opinion" and "facts." It is a FACT that disability is NOT the "easy way out"--it is not just our opinions on this. It is a FACT that there are some people who cannot work--that's why there is disability. It is a FACT that disability is not the same as welfare. And no one ever said that having a job is something to be ashamed of. But the way you came across in your other post made you sound very judgemental, and that those are disabled did have something to be ashamed of!
....and as Laina said, it's different when its your life.
