Inability to Type Not a Disability

    I have a step brother who is quadraplegic. He can move his arms, but not his hands. He types using gloves with a 'stick' on each glove. He IS disabled but he can still type, just not very fast

    He can also give amazing handjobs. Especially when he traces around the rim of your ass with one of his stick gloves.

    is laziness a disability? I can type pretty well, code, administrate a network but I could really do without work. That is really hampering my progress and I feel that this is disabling me. What do the people at Slashdot think?
