There's also one czech punk-rock singer who lost leg. He picks chicks on his fake leg

Lot of things can be done if you want them. self-pity is sometimes oh-so-appealing (many of us been there...), but it just doesn't win you anything. |
Yup...and one example of my own is actually my father. I really dislike that man, and certainly don't get along with him, but he'd only had use of one leg ever since he was a child, and built an empire from nothing. From my understanding, he started off as a smuggler, until he started a legit business and is now a big time businessman with three companies. This is also in a culture and society where people who are disabled are viewed as and treated like second class citizens.
