"Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.
The rest of us rarely bother to think about our actions." --Solon
That was cool. Definitely showed that they are athletes and the Paralympics are more just handing out orange wedges and trophies.
Do they have different categories for different events? Like physical vs. mental disabilities?
I believe that it solely considers physical disabilities, whereas the Special Olympics is for those are suffer from mental defects.

I guess that shows what kind of ignorant buffoon I am. I never knew the difference between the Paralympics and Special Olympics. Oh well, my dad always told me to own who I am.
Isn't it true that non-disabled persons can compete (e.g. wheelchair racing?) Could be wrong, but I remember reading an article about a guy with perfectly functioning legs who was world-class wheel chair racer.
