Changing the definition above slightly to "having a condition that restricts one's ability to function physically, mentally, or socially." gives it a better meaning. Under this definition, are virtually all people handicapped? The only difference in the definitions is the degree of restriction which is arbitrary anyway.
Could any of the following characteristics be considered handicaps?
- being short
- being tall
- being large
- being small
- being skinny
- shyness
- narcissism
- materialism
- racism
- self pride
- skin rash
- asthma
- nervousness
- skin color
- addictions to
- smoking
- alcohol
- sex
- violence
- television
- computer games
- sports
- work
- reading
Are virtually all people handicapped? Should anyone be further restricted because of a handicap? Are all people equal on Gods scale?
