Yes, both individually and institutionally. For individual stories, check out http://www.alldeaf.com/our-world-our-culture/91837-annoying-ignorant-hearing-people-stories.html For the systemic side of things, you could read any number of books on Deaf history. Mask of Benevolence is good...

Oh I'm glad you explained that. I had been reading it sort of like yelling (not quite: that's all caps, but something like that.) I'm sorry to hear you have to deal with that. I don't use Internet Explorer, but don't they have a feature where you can change the font size for how you view text...

Sure:):)

I didn't know about your weak eyes. Is that why you use the larger bold font?

Mark, you're describing some problems that suggest a solution to other frustrations you've been having here. You've mentioned people being rough on you in other threads, and how that's very upsetting for you. You've also mentioned sometimes being too tired to think straight, and that your...

It's not his job to stay up-to-date on everything you post here.

Haha - put some ice on it it should be fine;) You've got a sense of humor so that's a super start. And I understand that you didn't mean what you didn't mean - I think that comes with the excitement. It's a powerful thing. It can be a huge motivator, and at the same time, I think getting...

Yes you do. When you were seeing really bad captions, where do you think those came from? They were generated by a voice recognition system. A really bad one. The system "recognizes" the words and converts them (or what it takes them to be) into text - captions. Crazy Paul is right. It's not an...

Hi John, My mother sometimes doesn't get it either. The other day I was visiting her and I said something about a Deaf person, or about the Deaf community, I forget exactly, but she said "Well they CAN'T DRIVE." (beats own head with stick) I said "Yeah, mom, they can drive. [Deaf friend's...

That's interesting. I think it would depend on the co-ordination of the cyclist. For me, texting while riding a bike would be a *really* bad idea ha! Unless the person has extremely good balance/coordination/etc., I'd say the texting while cycling is more dangerous for the person with wheels...

Second that.

That for me or the OP?

Who said anything about texting vs social media? That's not the point. My point is that you could easily inadvertently kill someone if you're driving and not paying attention to the task of driving. If you walk while not paying attention to where you're going, most likely the only person to...

Maybe significantly dangerous for you, the person doing the walking. So yeah, you could walk off a cliff while texting and die. But if you look at the damage you might inflict on others then the difference is off the scale. Think of the difference between walking into someone at 3mph with your...

Hi Victor, Welcome to AllDeaf:) Sorry Chicago Blue and I hijacked your other thread. We're not supposed to post the same thing more than once: maybe the moderators can delete the other one.

How do you know?

So maybe Barney was created as the result of a misunderstanding? Kind of makes me want to cry.

Oh God no not that one. Big hug from lizard, not hug from big lizard. (I might have been more clear...)

:(:(:( Big Lizard Hug!
