I know deafdyke, not all religious people are anti-gay. I was just ranting a bit myself - ah, feel much better now! But I am surprised by people that make statements against gay marriage based on their Christian beliefs. They're not all right-wing conservatives. And yes, I remember when...

----rolling eyes------ I'm sorry, but I'm just sooooo tired of people using God to promote hate and injustice in this world!!!!!!!!! When I hear this argument about the bible telling them that God says it's wrong, I just say yeah, and the bible was written by men who lived in a particular...

As I've gotten older, looks matter much less. I know I've changed, I've carried 4 children and aged, my hsbd has lost most of his hair and he's not the same as when I met him. But I love him more now than ever. While it's true that initial attraction has a lot to do w/looks, the long-term...

IMHO, Bush never did anything that wasn't stupid! But unlike some of the optimists on this list, I fear he may get re-elected. He's not just dumb, he's dangerous as hell!

Hey JAVA! You Go Girl!

whatever, agree to disagree. I think a lot of things are funny, esp. when they poke fun at people who are self-righteous. but I don't think trashing someone who's doing good things w/a pure heart is funny. that's how hate continues to perpetuate. so just call me lacking in humor, whatever...

I don't get your problem with Rosie. What's so evil about her? She has a huge heart, she's funny, she doesn't go around spreading hate against people. And she's already involved with a woman who appreciates her, so why would she give a rip about paying you or any other women to sleep with...

btw Knightwolf - no, it's not a crime at all. It's good to ask questions, otherwise you make assumptions about people that aren't true. Ask away!

Not sure what you're asking. I like most Deaf people, it's like everybody else in the world. I don't like all Deaf people. I don't like when Deaf people make attacks on all hearing people, as if we're all the same. I also don't like the attitude of some hearing people who don't try to...

Way To Go! That's GREAT NEWS! :thumb:

yep, it's a legal document and the driving force for what services your child receives. If it's not on the iep, they don't have to do it. I'm also a parent, bbnt. Sometimes, it's a really hard position to be in. We parents have a great influence in how the trend in deaf education moves, one...

Well, I respect all lines of work. What would the academicians sp? do w/o good mechanics when their car breaks down, a plumber when their toilet's overflowing, and who would deliver our mail if we were all working on our post-graduate studies. I know that when it comes to deaf education, what...

deafbrutha says: A show called CNNNN which is satire on the cable news show CNN, did a lot of vox pops [street interviews] in America, and I could not believe the ignorance and insularity of their thinking. But the irony is, swap Australia for America and you get much the same thing - .......I'm...

I think you're being generous by saying Bush did what he believed was best for the country (U.S.) I think his motives are much more devious than that. And I have to say, the more I've learned about John Howard, he seems no better, just not as powerful. I'd be interested in your view of...

Thank you, thank you for acknowledging there are involved parents. I don't know about oral vs. signing parents. I can say that I'm a hearing parent who signs w/my son. I personally agree that all deaf children should learn sign language, but even the d/Deaf adults don't agree on that, so...

[ Most students who go to top-tier schools, have strong parental involvement. Talk to some of the teachers at the deaf school. They'll tell you that most of the parents there are really uninvolved with their child's education. (actually this is true across the board for most kids with IEPs from...

You're too funny! What will you do with all the parents whose kids are in oral programs? Do a mass list call to protective services? I agree w/you for the most part, you're acknowledging that the problem is the quality of services across the continuum, not any one approach.

Gothika, I am also hearing and learning ASL. I love using songs to practice signing! I started out taking classes at a college level interpreter program to learn how to communicate with my son, who is deaf. But now that my kids are getting a little older, I'm thinking of trying to become an...

Yes, lilredridinhood, I think you're right. I was just sitting down with my cup of coffee and reading this quote on my coffee mug, and I thought, hmmm, this is about as close to my sentiments about our President as I could get, so I used it. I got the coffee mug from Mark Twain's home town in...
