And I'm glad I didn't argue that, having seen so many repeats of this fact throughout the thread by myself and others.
But whether or not some affliction is within your control was not the issue - It's how one deals with it. This is the debate, I believe.
Again, it might end up that even though I'm diagnosed with Cancer or something, I shrug it off and live life well anyways. Yet I can't seem to be on time consistantly, despite attempts to curb it.
I'm not saying that you should take pity on people who can't seem handle things that are so simple for you. Punctuality is a big part of our society, particularly compared to others. What I am proposing is that labelling all of 'em as irredeemably lame and inconsiderate twats just ain't right. They simply suck at something, the same way one might suck at sports(which is practiced, not innate).
