In really noisy areas, to people I will never meet again, I say "deaf" cause it's easier than launching into an explanation.

I prefer "hard of hearing" cause I like to describe things in terms of what they are, not what they're not. But it's not like I can't handle it if someone says "hearing impaired."

I learn something new every day. :lol:

I had no idea Tracy could be a man's name.

Yes, I'm referring to the past times when it was legal to deny people of color entry. Just cause it's legal doesn't make it right.

It's a private school so they can deny admittance based on who the parents are. Just like how hotels and restaurants and other private businesses could deny blacks entry. Private or not, legal or not, doesn't make it right. Needless to say I would never send my kid there and would have just...

When I tell you how to communicate with me, listen, and communicate with me that way. Don't assume you know better. Don't try to yell at me. Just use the communication method I have just outlined for you.

Totally predicted that. Maybe cause I've watched too many documentaries about him.

I would need more context to decide if it's offensive. Jillio gave two contexts that would change the offensiveness of the question. People who are okay with gay people ask casually if other people are gay all the time. It's just a question out of genuine curiosity. On the other hand, coming...

Totally agree. Which is why I am tired of people accusing Obama of being Muslim just on the basis that he "might not" be Christian. Even if he were Muslim, why would it matter?

Of course I know that. But then what are you getting to? Why do you care how many times a day Obama prays?

So I take it the fact that Muslims pray 5 times a day and 5 is the number you chose randomly in a previous post is just... a coincidence?

You don't actually "need" to go to a mosque to be Muslim. As long as your skin is a bit darker, you look vaguely like "them Arabs," and you don't blindly hate other Muslims and spew islamophobic crap every 5 minutes, then of course you must be a Muslim. There's no other possibility.

I actually have a card like that that explains I'm blind and hard of hearing and how to get my attention and how to communicate with me. I use it when I'm sitting down but if I'm walking around it's hard to carry it. There are also times I don't feel comfortable announcing to the world I'm...

I guess it's different where I live. Most strangers are people that see me every day that I will sooner or later need to buy something from, sell something to, or somehow interact with. I've met a lot of people who said that they have seen me walking around before, used to work at a place I go...
