Wow. Just wow... :eek3: Can we get a lock on this thread or something...?

Good ideas. :D They don't go to the root of the problem (people are simply bigots, in the end)... But, it is good information to tell, regardless, in the meantime while we work on the other problem.

But we break down people who think there is something "wrong" with being deaf, several times in this thread. Hypocrisy? Edit: And everyone has hypocrisy to some extent, I'm not pointing my finger. I'm just saying that opinions are not only opinions. Re Edit: Sorry. What I am really trying to...

Then it is pointless to discuss, because the same can be said of people who think otherwise. Fact is, people here want to be right in their opinion, so what you said here is untrue.

Ahh, sorry about that, Bottesini... I misunderstood, the first time. It's not always natural. But that doesn't matter to the point you were trying to make, you had the right idea. Sorry for getting technical, before.

Exactly. So, don't fight the word, fight how it is used.

You want to get really deep? EVERYONE is normal. It is NORMAL for some people to have a condition that is NOT normal. Having quirks... again... normal! The sentiment you just posted, normal. Someone being born with green skin? NOT NORMAL. Can that person be a normal person? Yes, they...

Sorry, but natural does not mean "just happens". Maybe you meant to say something else... But, anyway, There is not a problem with the word "normal". It is a very useful word. There IS a problem with how people keep abusing it, and applying ideas to it that just do not belong there...

Say what? Do you have an imagination? Or a sense of humor, perhaps? I was making a joke using the thread title...

Heh. How do you take over the world? Here is how I would do it. First, look at the old dictators who failed. Learn from their mistakes. Take control of industry and people, via capitalism. Keep people smart enough to be unknowing slaves, yet limit their critical thinking. We want to...

In other words: Andere Menschen sind schriftlich vorurteilsfrei und das Sachverständigengutachten. Nicht persönliche Meinung.

I hate to jump back in here, as it is a bit volatile to me. But it is hard to stand by and watch. I have nothing against you personally. But you need to see what opinion actually means, and what the differing kinds are. And no, I'm not just trying to teach you something for no reason...

:laugh2:

If I make a cheesecake the size of Texas, in Texas, will it actually be bigger than Texas? Or will it be the same size as Texas because I made it in Texas? What happens if the cheesecake is half in Texas, and half in New Mexico? :hmm:

You do away with books and start keeping things on PC in 'e book' form, because you just physically can't keep enough books. (plus there's no paper to mess with or tear, they don't take room on your desk when you read, you can 'cut them up' and compare pieces to each other side by side... heh.)

1. Air 2. Water 3. Food 4. Correct body temperature (not too hot, not too cold) 5. A body that can process all of this correctly (can't breathe if my lungs don't work!) (I'm just being silly... heh :D )

Oh, I know, definitely. Can we really stop them? Not quite, we can try, but short of invasion and forcing it to stop at gunpoint, there's nothing to do there but talk to each other. In the USA though, it matters more to the citizens of the US, what propaganda is spread from here. We need to...

Ok, look. Before I start, I will say I am not taking either side. And while I feel for the person who wrote this, and their sentiments, it smells of propaganda. I do not believe the US has gone completely unaided. I think what aid there was, was simply not done as 'a big production'...

There's a good chance of that happening. I have come to a conclusion just a bit ago, that the human ability to reason outstrips it's ability to understand. We can figure out how to do so many things, but all too often we cannot agree on whether doing those things are a good idea. Natural...

I understand this view, but don't feel the same... though it does give me a useful insight on something else I was thinking about... I suppose it is.
