@Clarice "Cripples" isn't in the Bible. That's an English word. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic.

Yes, "able-bodied" IS a word. It's in paperwork we adults use every day. Maybe you're not old enough to sign legal forms yet, or maybe you're one of those people who signs forms without reading them, but when you fill out legal forms and other important paperwork, you are required to sign that you are an able-bodied adult, for legal reasons, or you don't sign and instead you state what makes you not able-bodied. For example, I just did that recently for my jury duty form. Saying that being abled-bodied is the "standard" and so should have no description is horrible. Your reason for saying that is EXACTLY the reason given by people who use the word "colored" for people of particular demographics, as though the people being described as "colored" are not "standard" or "normal" and so need the descriptor of "colored" while saying that they themselves don't need to be called "uncolored". It is EXACTLY your way of thinking. That is disturbing.

Hopefully when you get into 5th grade, when history classes begin in most schools, you'll learn these things, not just history but also how to think logically.

Yes, if you have a chair that is not broken, you DO use a word for it. If you list it for resale, you describe it with words such as "fully functional".

I won't be reading any response because I don't have time for trolls who just want to insult people who are not "standard" and try to hold your privilege over everyone else. No one admires people who do that. You only make yourself look bad.
