    Cochlear Implant Life-Long Commitment

    It is only up to you, if you are comfortable now, then there is no need to use CI. I went for CI, because I want to hear, I'm very curious about sounds, and despite to my deafness I love to listen to music, play piano and other musical instruments. I can't stand noise, but I can't stand...

    I need your help convincing nonprofits to caption their online videos

    oh, I laughed so hard! Thank you for this thread. I signed your petition, but you need to fix your petition fields, the second one asks to enter location (Province, Country), but actually it expects email value.

    Confederate Flag

    The topic name was referring to the KKK, if that a culture? How about Nazi? Is that a culture? I see some changes to the topic, and I don't associate confederate flag with KKK.

    Confederate Flag

    Quote removed Why do people need to create KKK again, and promise to be a something positive? What is wrong with other names? If the policy of the KKK have changed, why not to change the name also? What is the reason make fun of the history and remind black people about their slavery? "Why...

    Greetings,I from Russia! Find friends for dialogue.

    Greetings,I from Russia! Find friends for dialogue.

    Right. People confuse politicians and their dirty business with regular citizens. What do you do as a lawyer? Which field do you specialize? Do you participate in court trials? Can you hear the judge and the opponent lawyer during the trials?

    This evening my husband brought a summon for me from the superior court, with the mark that failing to respond may cause fine, jail term or both.
