Actually, I think he was being sarcastic. I can understand where he is coming from cuz there r times I feel like making sarcastic and stupid comments. Many of us grew up listening to people say Deaf can't this or that or it is better to be hearing. It makes us feel inferior or that people see us as inferior. Using the example of Miss Deaf was a low blow cuz what really happened was more of lack of common sense more than cuz of her deafness. Even hearing people get killed walking on train tracks but I people will still think that her deafness killed her so I am not even gonna bother arguing about it. It gets tiresome listening to people associate deafness to bad things. Maybe that's why many of us react negatively to CIs or the oral views cuz they symbolize deafness as a bad thing..who knows?
