Not money, because I don't have enough of it. But yea, I have volunteered for kids and adults with disabilities.

My SO and I both did work in college with Autism Speaks. Look it up if you'd like. It's a real thing.

You would ask this question to a poster who does business with non-profits (commercial insurance) and who's SO sits on multiple boards for non-profits.

I donate my time and hopefully within the next couple of years can donate money.

I haven't. You're acting like it's normal to grow up making fun of disabled people.

Fair point. I guess I can assume that you grew up as a little shite teenager who made fun of kids with disabilities.

Just assuming here but I would guess its more common to make fun of the disabled than not to...most people do pick on people different from them.

I can't remember making fun of kids with disabilities (i am sure I did though just not to the kid) but I was definitely a little shite teenager

If what you say is true....i feel bad about being an arse to you

you're probably right. Kids can be real assholes.

I was too, but in a different way.

I don't have any reason to lie and don't think you're an arse. I do a lot of volunteer work with different non-profits because of the nature of my work and it just makes me feel better since I'm in sales.

Is it really that hard to believe that many people have never made fun of disabled people? The fact that you think everyone makes fun of disabled people is a bit disconcerting.

b/c I meant we should all give as much as shaq has. Wow now that is a terrible assumption. You are apparently incapable of comprehending points being made in a discussion.

No your belief in Shaq as a "good guy" because he threw some dollars out in charity.

ETA- typical hypocrite response " we aren't celebrities so we can't be held in the same regard"


I'll give you this any 40+ year old man that goes on social media and mocks a disabled kid should be held in ill regard. Seriously, Shaq is 42 year old adult. The last time most people made fun of a disabled kid was probably when they were an a-hole teenager, not a a middle aged adult.

Cute, the guy who won the genetic lottery mocking the guy who lost it. Shame, shame, shame, Shaq.

Shaq isn't funny...never understood why people thought he was clever.


I agree. I don't hate shaq but he is a seven foot kid that never grew up. But when millions are granted to you to play a game, there is no reason to become an adult. If shaq were 5 foot 6 inches, then he would be flipping burgers or working a job making 10 dollars an hour.

Exactly. Shaq's marketing angle of the big, happy go-lucky guy has been executed flawlessly. Anybody capable of critical thought is able to see right through it.

What are your qualifications to know enough about him to see right through it?
