Re: Just had this on Facebook
i liked that story... from a personal point of view..
my wife became disabled last february after having a brain haemorrhage and burst blood vessel all at the same time.. she used to be the life and sole of party's (you couldn't shut her up) to now being dysphasic and lost the use of her left arm and leg... she gets so frustrated not being able to communicate that she dosent want to get out... but i still make us visit friends and family like we use to and she enjoys every minuet.. so yes the above post may be a story.. but if you are the type of person who that story dosent touch ... then i think that you are probably the type of person who is so self obsessed that you would not hold a door open for anyone.. manners dont cost nowt and you would not believe the amount of ignorant muther fuc*ers out there.. try taking someone in a wheelchair out shopping for a day... it changes your prospectus on life... |

I agree with you on the principle and Intention behind the way it is put up on social networks . I just wanted to stick it up on here as a little reminder of how humanity is and maybe it will touch some people into reacting in a better way to those less fortunate . I myself will always take time out to help anyone , hold open doors , stop and help those in need . Nobody expects a big menacing biker to help them out . I was in Asda about a month ago and some woman was obviously in distress at the counter . Bad respiration and looked iffy . I helped her unload her massive trolley onto the belt and then went and packed it for her . I also called her daughter to come and get her mum and gave them a hand loading the car . They thanked me and I just simply waved bye bye and rode off . The point being is that loads of people just looked on and didn`t help . I like to think I made a difference in the way Bikers are perceived in public . Even when I am out and about and see people changing tyres I slow down and give a thumbs up , if they are fine I ride off but I wouldn`t hesitate for a second to stop and help them . Just hope this clarifies why I posted this ....... Still love you all (P.S. I am not drunk LOL) |

Re: Just had this on Facebook
'Blue' once asked how he could be more nice.....perhaps his heart strings are made of stone. It don't matter if its a chain. My best friend has a lad who has learning difficulties, hes 13 but really his heads about 6. You wanna try having a kid like that..bloody hard work, but on some days theres brightness, especially when all your mates treat your kid as just another normal kid, and spend time being with him in his world....makes the world a better place, knowing some folk can't see a kid with difficulties being a problem
Blue.....be nice...open your heart a little more, you may be surprised how life can change

Aaah don`t be too hard on Blue , he was merely pointing out the intent behind it all and that these social networks use them for chain lettering .

Re: Just had this on Facebook
Yeah, I'd sooner have my heart warmed by a true story, personally.
