And if we are going to go on like this.

1. I'm terminally ill. Though I've made 25 years and fingers are still =

2. I was born with genetic defects (though surgically corrected at 5 =
months old)
3. I'm disabled

Well I know lots of tricks as I can see virtually nothing on a computer =

for us old people to make web browsing easy.

But most of you are too stupid to use them. Hitler had a point.

PS: Forget the 6 million whinging jews (though I'd be sent to the camps =
for that anyway), I relate to the other 5 million people sent to the =
camps as I fall in most categories except homosexuality and Gypsies. But =
everyone assumes I'm a homosexual anyway so that won't protect me.=20

Why do I get bashed and discrimated against because people believe I'm a =

"it's ok to bash gays". Though after a few bashings I act overtly =
heterosexual for self protection. But I take after St Paul so I'm =
celibate.

The original post was clearly phrased and has been partly answered (a=20

Well

1. Colour blind are genetic retards. Culling the flock is always a =

2. I can think of sooo many solutions to from overkill to minor =

I have to know the exact problem. Just knowing you shouuld be turned =

Tried "Accessability" options (high contrast) which are of limited=20
help -
(drawbacks outweight the advantage). These options are for the =
visually
impaired, i.e poor sighted folk. I have 20/20 vision, with glasses.

"Normal" folk often fall into the semantics trap. " Colour Blind" =
is NOT
being blind (as in unable to see). Think more of camouflage - =
inability
to
identify certain elements within a scene because the element =
colours=20
blend
into the background.
I can see objects against a contrasting background (birds in the =
sky,=20
for
example) but I can NOT tell you what colour(s) they are. Birds in=20
trees -
much more difficult (dark against dark).
There is no cure, we are born with faulty cones (light receptors in =
the
eye). "Colour" is reflected light - colour sight is the ability to
identify/classify the wavelength of refelected light.
Web designers are often artists first, designers second. Those =

practical ease of use of their site. It is this fact which needs=20
broader
distribution.

If we didn't pass colour tests then we didn't get jobs.

I press Ctrl + A to select the page that changes the colour of=20
everything.
I'm not colour blind but I still need sensible colours (like light =
gray=20
on
a
lighter grey background).

But I can show you ways of doing this and that if I know the exact
details.
Plus Accessability can override graphic designers and can be =

Is that no longer true? I guess it's been a long time since I
