If you were my son, I'd be proud.This. I'd take you out for a dinner at your favorite restaurant.
Quoted by a Mod. Call me a suck up, but I feel pretty damn awesome right now.

Gravity weakens the body, and the body atrophies naturally over time, it's been proven. Gravity doesn't make you fat. Lack of exercise and a healthy lifestyle makes you fat. I will not pity someone who doesn't take care of their body.
No one gives a flying -blam!- about your pity. How you feel is irrelevant entirely.
It's that at the time, one person needs the seat more than the other person.
One of the leading causes of paralysis in children is diving into shallow water. If, for example, you overheard a guy in a wheelchair had done exactly that, would you refuse to give him your seat because he "didn't use good judgement"? What about someone who was paralyzed because he was riding a bike without a helmet? A veteran disabled by an IED? Well, he should have been a bit faster, now shouldn't he have?
Like I said, are we going to just assume the worst about everyone and then act accordingly? Why are we singling out one group here?
For the the men in wheelchair, or the soldier, of course I would. Those are completely different circumstances. The former is an unfortunate accident, and accidents do happen. The latter happens in war time, and didn't happen due to an unhealthy lifestyle. These are completely different factors and scenarios, and are irrelevant.
