Fly Free said:we DID have a location where there were a high concentration of deaf living there at Martha's Vineyard
today if we have a state that is for all deaf ppl -- it would be kewl yes but with reservations tho
knightwolf68 said:mmmmm wow i never thought of that reservesation maybe it could be happen just like Indians reservation ... ummm... or could be another way if the deaf community ever exist in these year that they could discover once they learn from hearing world to be mainsteam into their world know what i mean ?
Fly Free said:KW68 i dont mean "reservation" in relation to the native american reservations -- i meant in relation to some thoughts that it would not be a wise idea i apologize for misunderstanding u and not being clear with my previous post in this thread -- but the years when Martha's Vineyard had so many deafies living on the island was cuz many of the parents were family members themselves ie: first cousins, uncle/neice, and etc and when they sire children the children would be born with a variety of disabilities 1 being ofc deafness

ideafspy said:I heard that one island near to new york state. The people put deaf people only live that place to breed the deaf childern?? I feel like that sound like hearing has licence for us breed who is deaf? I don't know if that strange then :hitit:
or Possible Califorina ???/ cuz I do know that they have largest numbers in South area if i am right ...Fly Free said:the island near NY state qq sounds like u might be referring to Martha's Vineyard as it is off the coast of New Jersey (if i recall correctly on which state it is off of) and is also quite near NY state qq maybe the ppl of NJ can correct me if im inaccurate on this to the location
i dont think they had a LICENSE to "breed" ideafspy -- back in the 1800s the law was not in the books banning inter-family marriages/relationships due to not realizing that when they have relations with their close family member (1st to 3rd cousins) they can give birth to children with disabilities -- any distant relatives can marry eachother (4th cousin and beyond) cuz the bloodlines wont be very risky with the inter-family marriages/relationships

WaterRats13 said:Whoa...I think that'd be ultra cool if that ever happened.But one downside to it, it'll increase slander and backstabbing each others if we all lived together within close proxmities. You know what I mean? :roll:
javapride said:I totally agree with u waterrats, in small counties IE Sonoma county LOVES to use backstabbing and slandering! which makes for the aspect of having nothing better to do but say a he said she said or she said she said type of behavior role. spreading them out is best, and there is a book called ISLAY ( which is related to Deaf government and deaf state as well) it's written by the author Douglas Bullard, he wrote this book abt a man wanting to become governor of state of ISLAY, it was an intresting reading written in ASL and English verison for better understanding for everyone. BY THE WAY it's a novel, if u want this book check with ur local or online deaf companies they might have it on stock i got this abt 5-9 yrs ago was a good reading for me![]()
