I recently stumbled upon a #YouTube #Video where people are blaming/mocking themselves for not speaking perfectly #English. I don't understand that kind of #Behavior. #Why? Seriously, why? For me, it's most important that I can call an #Ambulance, report a #Fire or a #Crime in a #Foreign #Language. To be capable of socially acceptable #SmallTalk is of course also a nice #Ability to have. But dealing with an actual #Emergency is IMHO more #Important than asking a #Stranger how they feel today…

Damit will ich nicht behaupten, dass in London alles hunkydory ist, aber besser als in Düsseldorf.
Hier ein Spielplatz im Ravenscourt Park/Hammersmith mit einer "Fähigkeitsschaukel" (ability swing).
Also nicht einer "Behindertenschaukel".
Eine so viel bessere Einstellung, wie ich finde.

A quotation from Montesquieu, Baron de:

«
A man compensates for the lack of a talent by despising it. He removes the obstacle he finds between himself and merit, and so finds himself on a plane with those whose work he envies.
 
[Un homme à qui il manque un talent se dédommage en le méprisant: il ôte cet obstacle qu’il rencontroit entre le mérite et lui; et, par là, …

"Part of the fear many [sighted and hearing people] feel when encountering DeafBlind people comes from the way we naturally decline so much of what they cherish. They seek relief from this anxiety by insisting that we take in their world. ... And the sighted and hearing didn’t know what they were missing out on by not entering our world."
