New Obama ADA rule forces gyms to provide wheelchair accessible equipment

[SF1900]

nobody is talking about ramps bud, they are talking about equipment...

does the govt regulate that car makers must make factory cars that are for the disabled?

Some gym equipment doesnt suit me b/c of angles, length of limbs etc.

Should the govt regulate that gyms need to have pieces of equipment for ppl of all sizes too?

this is fuking ridiculous.

The only reason I really want this law to pass is to piss off coach because then he will have to change his equipment, then he will make a post on GB and meltdown about Obama.

Galenko said it best.

If an individual has special needs, it might be more appropriate to build gyms for individuals with special needs.

I believe that this new 'rule' will force a few gyms out of business and for some reason I hate it when any  big government steps in and forces any business to go out of business with decisions such as this.

But then again I'm not against people in wheel chairs training in the typical gyms, but special needs often require special gyms which may prove to be cost prohibited in may cases.

I guess my main concern is .... How many businesses wll this put out of business if they cannot comply due to financial reasons?

The coach is a billionaire and owns about 8 boats and 7 houses. He will not go out of business.

For a moment there I thought this was a credible news agency, not a Republican propaganda machine. Oh well.

Yeah, I'm sympathetic to folks that need ramps, perhaps a bit of extra room around the major stations, and help adjusting & loading machines, but I don't feel a small business should have to revamp their entire business model to accommodate any and all things. I also hate the fact that folks with make-believe illnesses with probably latch on to this type of stuff.

I wants my lat machine and a double order of wings, stat.

SO if you can't comply, someone comes down and locks you up??!

Or you get sued by 140 guys in chairs who would have joined your club if you did comply?

Or one class action suit representing thousands?

Shit! I'd just close shop and play a guitar on the Venice Beach Walk.

[Coach is Back!]

Yeah, how horrific to make gyms wheelchair accessible so people who were born with no legs or can't walk can work out and reap the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

Obviously, you have no empathy for people with physical disabilities.

Might as well get rid of all ramps and elevators so people who cant walk CANT GO ANYWHERE!!! JUST LET THEM SIT HOME EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE

Quiet dummy and understand this. Not every gym is made for every person but each city and county.has their.own.code for handicapped access. Depending on the size and capacity of the space itself, it requires no such code. Most gym owners know to keep access just so people don't run into each other and get their asses sued. Your boy is to FUCKING stupid go even realize this, it would be a liability. This is just another scam to steal more money from us. But if you want, feel free to adds little in you next tax payment.

What is the difference between "weather" and "whether" and use it in a sentence. My 8 year old cousin did. Also, coming from a guy who believes the earth is 10,000 years old. And I am the dummy?

 Go grab some more sweaty men in the gym  

You sound exactly what Jesus Christ would want you to sound like it. If he was around he would think you're disgusting FILTH!! You're going to burn in hell for all eternity for your greed. One of the seven deadly sins.

More liberal bullshit skate. Surely you can come up with a better argument than that? or do you even have a lick of commonsense?

Um, Obama paid for my mortgage and put gas in my car. Don't freaking lie, you know you took money from obama to help pay for your mortgage, coach. Lying freaking FILT!

ps - I do not cling to any ideologies.

You seem to back Obama's (liberal) ideologies in almost every political thread you chime in on. BTW, was that your mom in that video?

Obviously, I back Obama. I sent him a letter asking him to help pay for my gas and he sent me $28.56 cents. He also included a signed autograph picture of himself.

You don't seem to mind taking money from Obama to help pay your mortgage. Then you turn around and make fun of him. Real nice of you, Coach 

[Coach is Back!]

I'm good, Obama can suck my d**k.

[SF1900]

Sure, sure, tell that to him after he helped you out. Now make it seem like you do not need him.

He's paying my mortgage? Then why is there $5687.00 missing from my checking account every month?

[chaos]

He's paying my mortgage? Then why is there $5687.00 missing from my checking account every month?

Because you're getting ripped off?

[SF1900]

Um, because you spend it on other stuff, like ropes for your gym.

You own your own business, so we all know that Obama is secretly helping you out. I bet you even have private communications with him, and play it off like you hate him! FILT! 

[Coach is Back!]

Because you're getting ripped off?

Nah, I'd be getting ripped off if I had got into an ARM instead of a traditional load. If I would would have got an ARM (like most got suckered into) I'd be paying double or more when it was up.

Quit trolling, you're acting like reppingfor20 and making about as much sense.

Gee, it only took you forever to get my sarcasm  A few months back you were getting all bent out of shape and obviously missing my sarcasm, despite other people saying "that Coach was obviously missing SF1900's sarcasm."

No fucking shit Obama doesn't pay for your mortgage, you idiot. 

It's just fun trolling and seeing you meltdown and attempt to defend yourself against obvious sarcasm (why is there 5687 missing from my account?). Because you pay your mortgage?
