Default Questions

My questions would be:

How many of the people in the lawsuit actually attended or attempted to attend any of the classes? How many classes out of the hundreds offered?

There are many dance/music classes offered. Why should they have someone to sign for them? Dancing you can learn by simply watching. Music you have to hear or read.

Why is it up to them to assess whether something is a problem for others?

Many of us cannot partake of activities here, but why would that give me the right to make demands that others not participate simply because we can't?

Life is a matter of choices......including for the deaf. Are paramedics, police, store clerks, all doctor/dentist offices, neighbors, required to have signing services for them?

My husband can no longer communicate verbally nor in writing because of a stroke. So? We make the best of it and accept that there are things he cannot participate in because of it. Card games that involve bidding, for instance. Other card, board games, not a problem. Because of other issues, he can no longer play golf. So? Others can, and he simply cheers them on. He would LOVE to continue to play, especially since he was a low handicapper; he has accepted that he cannot. It would never occur to him to set forth something that would cancel it out for everyone else.

I can't afford to play the Championship courses regularly. Does that mean that they should have to let me play them for free like the Executive courses? No, it doesn't; nor should it.

I have no problem with reasonable issues/accommodations. I do have a problem with people who are unreasonable.

Lawsuits over any and everything has gotten completely out of hand, in my opinion.

LIFE HAPPENS....JUST NOT THE SAME FOR EVERYONE
