Well, those chicken****s stole natives' homelands, hunted Blacks for slavery, and treated women like sexual objects or animals... right under the USA flag.
Do you realize that Northern States did have slaves, don't you know?
Deaf Thoughts Police is not recommended if you're conservative or Republican because if you join there, you will be mauled down by "tolerant" liberals. It's not worthy to go there.
I think this forum is only one I known of.
There are few Deaf sites: Deaf News, Deaf Video something, and few others I forget. But I don't visit them very much.
Yep. Even few Deaf friends of mine were being bitched by other hearing parents for using ASL and not choosing CI. Don't you notice how often it is?
Pathetic.
I would love to have kids someday but I'm not sure how I can handle audism and CPS. Keri's story did scare me little. :(
You guys. That's not what I mean. :|
I had some experiences and my previous jobs were not that dangerous. I can't see how being a hotel cleaner, for explain, can have high risks?? Cooking food or washing dishes shouldn't that difficult task.
I'm pretty sure that some employees do have...
I mostly write on a paper to communicate with hearing people. A notebook or whatever it is. I sometimes sign a few basic and visible words if it is just few things I want or need.

True. Yet, the majority doesn't think it would matter.
Again, is medical community's goal is to improve people's lives, right? That explains why the majority would choose spoken over signed if hearing loss treatment is available for their children... Older Deaf generations will die out, so it...
Somehow I doubt that ASL and Deaf Culture would stay survive, but we'll see...
EDIT: And I don't have much faith in both, considering how medical technology is evolving for its own improvement.
Well, most people speak English... I doubt they have patience enough to learn an another language because it's 'too much efforts.' They prefer what they already speak their primary language.
EDIT: They also look for easy ways, too.
My point is that Deaf Culture won't survive for long enough time if the goal is to reduce the number of deaf and hard of hearing people by adanced treatments, which is about five to ten years from now. I'd not surprise if there is possible to create a cure in near future...
Yes, I'm pessimistic...
You should be aware that the medical community wants to get ruin of all disabilities, including the deafness. Trust me. They will try to reduce the need of ASL.
Most hospitals still refer to oralism or speech tools more frequent than they would refer to ASL...
