:) huge part of american culture. I used to collect old out of print Mad Comics as a kid. Damn, wish I still had them.

ANYONE who has a problem with the fact you have hearing aids is not worth having in your life, be it friend or boyfriend. I can tell you being twice your age, that if there's anything I've learned, not being self-conscious about deafness or hearing aids made making friends much much easier...

fortunately he wised up to that and stopped.

lol.

There were no captions on last night's episode in Canada last night. Not happy at all. What happened to the captioning?? Pretty upset to miss a part of the storyline. Possible for ABC Spark to repeat the episode this week with captions so those of us who are deaf can catch up?

That hit me, the part about the weak identity, neither hearing nor deaf. Very much my state of mind growing up...it's hard when you didn't really belong in the hearing world or in the deaf community. It's like a double barrier of sorts.

The history of cannabis and hemp in the US is actually quite fascinating. If anyone is interested, here's a link giving a brief overview of the history of cannabis in the US. Why is Marijuana Illegal? « Drug WarRant

Indeed. No coroner's report, no autopsy report and no doctor's report. It's all presumption and heavily biased. The comments were rather interesting. I tried to find more about this Jonathon guy in the news since it would have made the worldwide news if it was actually proven he died from...

Not anymore. Please get off this thread.

I happen to live in a city with a very high rate of pot smokers. I can assure you that most of them are regular citizens with good jobs and good homes and they do pay their bills. There are many people who do not abuse drugs or alcohol that don't pay their bills either. According to...
