That is quite different from helping out a neighbour.

Charity is not a bad thing at all and there are many ppl who desperately need it, but also those who in my eyes DONT, and handicapped ppl belong to the latter group imo. Charity should be used to stop poverty, illness and whatever that is NOT needed, like ppl dying of measles, or ppl starving to death because their fking government fights a civil war. Handicapped ppl will always be there, they are born in all layers of society and nottin can really prevent it, like getting kids who need glasses, have red hair or have a handicap that we qualify more as a handicap.
