TheSineadBurke The replies to this are pretty horrible. Talk about missing the point.

The more you push this, all the faster the govt will be screening you and aborting. They will probs sell it under climate change lol

To a point....not gonna make allowances for more blind airline pilots.

I am assuming cost of living in low when you are a little person. If only government officials were little, we won't have to pay high tax!
