Thank you for bringing this up. I have found that deaf children in 3rd world countries are way more adjusted compared to kids in wealthy countries like the States and Canada. Parents in wealthy countries are bombarded with too many choices and professional opinions and this no doubt, has an...

OH yes, they do. There is nothing wrong with being able to hear. The issue is the mainstream society tends to send a message to deaf kids that they need to be fixed. That is where it is wrong.

oops, ignore the font size. :giggle:

Right. I think it is safe to say that we both agree that all surgical procedures carry risk. :ty:

Oh ok...are you out to lunch?

IF IF IF IF........nothing goes wrong.

OOps- Synagogue. :giggle: Thank you!

Maybe they don't remember, but they do experience pain during the procedure.

Ow, why put anyone or babies through this?!? Just seems so unnecessary. I know some Jewish friends who have opted not to circumcise thier babies and their church is fine with it.

Female circumcision is against the law. But why is it ok to circumcise boys? This does not make sense to me. It is in my experience that most people go with the majority. In the earlier days, everyone decided to circumcise their baby boys because that was what everyone was doing. SOME (not...

POH- Actually, Ladd is Deaf. He was born Deaf and mainstreamed. He didn't find his way into the Deaf Community until he was 22 years old. Now he is a Deaf activist. TXgolfer- My parents are both hearing and they provided me with invaluable feedback/advice. They didn't tell me what I should...

I find Jillio a very invaluable resource- it is nice to have someone, deaf or hearing, to challenge your thoughts and feelings. Besides, you dont need a DISORDER to see a therapist. I don't feel Jillio is acting as a therapist in here. She is just jillio in here.

Txgolfer...that wasn't what Jiro meant. Therapy isn't a bad thing! I know certain people would benefit from exploring their resistant behavior... :giggle:
