I do not understand how kaw can allow such comparisons. To me, volunteers have all my respect, and logically disabled people more also. So I find the OP offensive, demeaning , uncouth , disrespectful, crude, gaudy, ornery....etc.
First of you're dumb and second just because a person is disabled doesn't mean they should automatically receive more respect then a "normal" person
this isn't necessarily on topic but while I agree with you that they shouldn't get more respect, they should still be treated as a disabled person, which implies special treatment. (not special in the sense that they are better off than normal people in any way, but special in that they can at least compete.)
