I think that guy's rhetoric is funny. Why? Because WhoTF cares about him. Looks like the only way he can get attention is buy trying to be funny by being offensive.
He's nobody, an attention whore.
Awww, shit, look, little deaf girl. I didn't mean that. The original post was kind of a joke. Deaf people are like any other group of people, some are assholes - actually - a lot are assholes. Look, kid, this is one of the hardest lessons of adulthood, but, you'll find in your life, that not only are most people assholes, but that everyone, with very few exceptions, behaves like an asshole from time to time. Eventually you have to readjust that hypocrite meter that's so crucial early on. Don't get me wrong, it's an excellent compass, when the world is flat. Later though when you take flight, li'l birdy, it'll just keep you ditching in the ocean. It's still useful for direction finding, but, you just add a lot more dimensions. Anyway, some of us, like myself, are assholes constantly. I'm also fucking retarded. Check the googlism, that's me. I'm fucking retarded. And I'm an asshole. The point is, there's people like me all over the world, who I can fairly say, on a daily basis, attempts to be as deliberately hurtful to as many people as I can, because, I'm too old to cut myself and... I need to feel something... and then there's you, you sound like you're on your way to making yourself into a good, decent human being. You care about things. You work to build your community. You're engaged. That's awesome. It sounds like once you're out in the world on your own, you've got the self-confidence and the wherewithal to strike out and be the most important thing any human being was ever to any other human being: useful and engaged, more so than 99 percent of people who have perfect health, perfect bodies, all 8 senses, and spend them in front of a WII all day long, or pursuing some nest egg by adding up number columns for some organization they couldn't give a shit about. You don't need to accept shit. Hearing, not hearing, you can be a legless, armless, crotchless, eyeless blob and be more intrinsically "worthy" with the kind of attitude and care for who you are and who the people around you are. Life is this amazing gift that has neither a giver, a purpose, or an intended receiver, we simply are here, we weren't before, and one day we'll be gone, for this, brief decaying second on this mote of dust in this strange, eons old, universe-wide reality, you should have no qualms about being the way you are. You get to be here. That's amazing? You get to swim in this warmish vat of air and look at the stars, and feel someone holding your hand, and run balls out, and bleed all over the place, and kiss some ugly people, and sleep with some attractive people, and grow fat, and grow skinny, and get drunk, and worry, and laugh, and cavort, and pet a goat, and taste sea-water, and lick things... god, licking things. There's so much to do, have you ever watched a cinder shoot upward from a fire? That's us. We're all, or, we can be, a bright flash, something brilliant. But we have to do it now, and there's never any putting off until tomorrow. Because there is no tomorrow. Sure there's "tomorrow" but in the scheme of things, in this impermanent, elusive now that we reside in, this eternal sliding moment we inhabit, there's only the now, and the promise of a little more before we grow weak and die.
Li'l deaf girl. What I'm saying is, be passionate, have no regrets, do everything that you want to do, not as a li'l deaf girl, but as a kick-ass human who knows what she wants and will work to take it. So, for God's sake take your passion and use it as fuel, burn as bright as you fucking can, and whatsoever you do, don't waste your time arguing with assholes on the internet.
When I read this blog I was so ticked off. But I read some of the responses below his post and this is his response to a Deaf girl's comment. I think it kind of explains why he is a jerk, although it doesn't make it right.
Or perhaps he needs my size 9 boot up his ass.
Wow It is so sad to read such a negative comment, a lot of hate, perhaps he needs God in his life.
woww...that really pisses me off. If i was hearing I wouldn't think it was fair. And I wouldn't go along with that crap. And i'm not going to. It makes me sad that they don't know how much we've been through with our deaf journey. But the main thing is they're gonna turn deaf when they're elderly. And i'm not going to make fun of that, but i pity them. Sooner or later Karma will get back at them..
I have a selective group of deafies as friends. But I don't hang out with them as much; my main group of friends are hearies. It does NOT mean that I "automatically" hate them, however.
That's the reason why I have 2 separate Facebook accounts, one for deaf and one for hearing - so I can make sure that the 2 groups do not mix.
By the way, I agree with Vampy abt the deafies manipulating the hearies. It's sad, really.
I don't really understand why anybody would hate deaf people, they are the same as hearing people
it is because they are trying to direct thier real anger toward someone else because they can't realize they are just angry at themselves.
