    When expecting a child, would you want it to be deaf?

    I agree with Cloggy. There are people who turn every conversation into something about THEM. Let's leave personal generalizations out when we can and use some common sense. It GOES WITHOUT SAYING that today's deaf person lives at the goverment's expense. ' While people MY age always...

    Does 'E' Really Mean Empty on Your Car's Gas Gauge?

    I am with Restless Heart. I always keep my car at least half full. If a person cannot afford to do that, then they cannot afford to drive a car. Do not take anything for granted. Common sense is the key!

    Hatred Against Asl!!

    And So On And So Forth I see nothing wrong with learning to lipread. IF it comes naturally. Being forced to "take lessons" is absurd, some people have the ability to learn and some people do not. The ability to lipread does come in handy and I am proud to be a top notch lipreader. Take it...

    When expecting a child, would you want it to be deaf?

    Deaf Child By Choice ? If you had a hairlip and a cleft palate would you want your child to have the same? Why purposely breed for imperfect children? So that the whole family can live off of SSI and Welfare? I can understand ADOPTING an imperfect child, they certainly need the love...

    My RIGHTS to keep my Hearing Dog....

    How in the world can ANY dog help you in line at the bank? Or ordering at McDonalds? Or checking out groceries at the supermarket? It has always been the SSI guzzling deafies who try over and over and OVER again to beat the system. You guys are only harming yourselves in the long run...

    My RIGHTS to keep my Hearing Dog....

    "Dogs" Period I think most of the intellectuals here understand the point I was trying to make. As a past owner of a bonafide, trained, > certified < hearing ear dog, I can understand the support that they give a deaf person. That goes without saying. But the deaf, like anyone else need...

    My RIGHTS to keep my Hearing Dog....

    Huh? 'Makes the deaf person feel "confident"? Where are you coming from? Why do we need help in being "confident"? Please do elaborate. We are very curious. Thanks. Service dogs were originally created to help the handicapped. We all know about Dogs For The Blind, and then later...

    Mr Bean's Holiday Movie

    Mr.Beans Holiday I belong to Netflix and have been on the waiting list for this movie for sometime. This morning they informed me that it's on it's way! Mr. Bean is very VISUAL for deaf folks. Kind of like Charlie Chaplin. I wish they had more movies like that! Lantana

    I don't like my BB 8703e that much

    It all depends on your provider and where you live. I live in a very small town on the Oregon Coast and all I could get was AT&T, which I had to accept of course. My BB Curve works wonderfully! I will admit tho that the buttons are not that comfortable, a little slippery. It would be much...

    have VP100 and don't like it. is 200 better?

    Sorenson upgrades by State. If you are a registered user, when the time comes, you will be upgraded automatically. I was frustrated with the 100. The 200 is great, no problems. But you do have to have enough power. Either Cable or DSL. Lantana

    i love my new Blackberry Curve 8320 .

    Personally, I think AT&T overcharges the deaf. We can use only a very small part of the Curve, but still have to pay the full price. I have not installed any games or anything that costs more, but that's just me. I am very budget minded and it does not make sense to me to have games on...

    Doctor's office refused to provide interpreter!!!

    I would think that the receptionist would be the one chosen to weed people out. We would need to know the whole story before we could offer any advice. How often do you go to the doctor and demand an interpreter?? Share the details. Lantana

    The Golden Compass (Parents, Please Read This)

    I believe in the old ways of allowing your children to test the waters themselves and then make their own decisions. It hasn't been long since they outlawed Huckleberry Finn and that was a classic that I grew up on. Same with "Little Black Sambo" and many others. Children nowdays are...

    Quick Sign Language Question

    Well, they COULD be referring to knocking your head against a stone wall. It all depends on the strength of the movement and the facial expression. I would say that the way it is signed in your picture is a "repeditious sign" like doing the same thing over and over no matter how it hurts...

    Does anyone really think hybrids are worth the money?

    Hybrids Well, the typical Deaf Sheep only go for Hondas these days. I march to a diferent drummer. I make my own decisions and do not follow what the herd does. (Or whatever a group of sheep is called, I know it's not a "herd", heh,heh) Lantana
