OK tell me what is hearing culture, bet you can't figure that out, like what is White culture in the same sense that, "it's not there" but it is, only difference is, its not written much about it

I don't think there's a hearing culture, it's not something that distinguishes it from another ie northern culture, southern culture, spanish, italian etc etc etc, "hearing" isn't a part of it, the lack of ability to hear is what distinguishes Deaf culture, the need for another language, and in my opinion within another culture, a subculture. For the most part members of Deaf Culture share most of the traditions rituals etc etc of the culture of their area, deaf people aren't an island. Hearing is kind of a given, not something hearies think about. hey don't think about their hearing anymore than you think about your sight, your smell, your sense of touch. whatever.
 
explain the feitshism with wierd sounds, like music and explain the weird visual of paints, abstract, or expressionalist to blind people.......(sighted culture)

That's part of culture, that's the norm, we are not the norm that's why we'd have our own culture, our deafness is what separates us even from the people that we would normally be fully apart of their culture. They don't make music, thinking, I'm going to making this music because I can hear....their hearing isn't something they think about, it's just something they do naturally. I dont' know how else to explain it, other than their hearing doesn't distinguish them from other cultures, our hearing does, it's the thing that separates us.

There's no such thing as "lack of intelligence," as everyone is intelligent at something, and the curve for measuring such a thing isn't absolute. So seeing as giving helpful comments is not your strong suit, you can leave.

Dismissed.

Attacking one of Alldeaf's favorite members and treating her rudely is NOT winning you any points. We get too many people asking us to do their work for them, and you're just an arrogant one who thinks by insulting us all, you will intimidate us into answering you seriously.

Shoo.

Oh, please.

I'm never rude for the sake of being rude. People are rude, I'm rude back, and the finger gets pointed. "oooh she's so arrogant y is she randomly attacking people?" Context, man.

All you had to say was that this wasn't the forum or thread for this, and I would've easily understood. No one's being forced to answer, and I wouldn't be annoyed if people weren't immediately rude and dismissive. And if you were writing the essay FOR me, I could understand getting so annoyed. But in no shape or form am I asking anyone to actually do that. I also already said that I'll keep searching elsewhere.

Case closed.
 
As for everyone else, thank you so much for answering honestly. You don't have to at all, and I appreciate it.

Did I also say the "Dismissed" and "Case closed" really ticks me off?

Take it from OUR perspective- we are begged, asked, and bribed to do work for others EVERYDAY. If you had taken the time to introduce yourself, settle in, gain some friends, THEN ask nicely, I would have no doubt that we would help you. Instead, you created an account with the purpose of homework help, (And yes, thinking of ideas for you IS homework help.) sauntered in with "Hi, I'm new. Do something for me." We get this A LOT!!!!! We're rude right off the bat because you just posted once and expected us to give you homework help. When you start crying and saying "But, but I wasn't rude in the first place!"
You are wrong.
You walked in, telling us to do something for you WITHOUT a nice "Please", or "Thank you for any help".

Here's an idea for you-
Listen to Grummer, or do a study on why HOH redheads rip apart stupid hearing people, with the aid of others.

Don't make assumptions that I plan on fleeing after my assignment is finished. I didn't have any expectations aside from people not being rude. Not crying, just being honest. For the record, many people seemed surprised that I was "rude," back, and some tried to pull the victim card.

How about no.

I apologize for not saying please or thank you, but that hardly warrants sarcasm. Notice that SOME PEOPLE were actually polite and answered honestly, regardless of not having to.

What's their excuse?

Are they just overly-nice, or is everyone else just rude?

Again, all that had to be said was that you guys get this a lot, and this isn't the forum for it. But I already stated before that NO ONE WAS BEING FORCED TO ANSWER. I also already stated that I'd look elsewhere. So really, you're elongating a conversation that was already in its essence over.

There isn't just ONE person in the wrong here.
