Where or how did you come to this conclusion? Did you visit every Deaf person since the dawn of the CI and ask them to fill out a survey or something? Yes I am sure there are many Deaf who don't like the CI but I don't think it's the "vast vast majority" either. I may ask my two friends who worked or is working at Gallaudet what they've seen there over the years regarding reactions and the use on campus (one just retired after working there for 26 years).
make sure you ask your friend the proper question.
i never stated like or not, i is very specific in my statement.
where did i come to the conclusion the vast majority (note. that does NOT mean every..)of Deaf do not see or hold CI as a miracle of biblical proportions?
mmmmmm....
well im Deaf and i live with Deaf, and am active in my Deaf community, and i have never seen the vast majority of us hold the view CI is a miracle of biblical proportions.
actually its been the opposite views ive encountered by the vast majority of Deaf whom i ve known and met and who's works and publications i've read (im interested if you have any works from Deaf (and i mean Deaf),who view and hold CI as a miracle of biblical proportions, cite them im interested)
national body and organizations are active in this topic..
dont hold the view that CI is a miracle of biblical proportions.
im Deaf and lived with Deaf in other countries, and the majority view i have encountered has NOT been the view that ci are a miracle of biblical proportions.
ive read the statements of NAD, know the history of those statements, (you can check them out on the website)
NAD never nor now does hold CI as miracle of biblical proportions for us...
the world federation of the Deaf does NOT hold and view CI as a miracle of biblical proportions..
(can you show me one national body of Deaf (that means Deaf)that does hold and view CI as a miracle of biblical proportions?, im curious)
ive studied and read the development and history of CI and our culture's resistance and opposition to it (why would we be opposed if we held it to be a miracle of biblical proportions? that's a logical question...)
and i also cited more then few of the works here for all to read, you too.
i know the huge controversial 60 minutes caused when they aired catliens "miracle"....(i was in Deaf school at the time, you don't have to believe or take my signs for it, but the entire school and the Deaf admin did not believe or hold the same ideas that CI was a miracle of biblical proportions)..
when i was at gally i cant tell you if i ever came across one Deaf who told me he or she believed they thought CI was a miracle of biblical proportions...(thats not to state their was none, i never stated all remember|)
and i guess if we all thought it was a miracle of biblical proportions, then why was it so so controversial? (you can answer that for me)
i know our history,
mmm.....
i know many who have received CI that don't think that CI is a miracle of biblical proportions
i know many who have refused CI like myself who don't believe CI is a miracle of biblical proportions
such an odd question coming from someone Deaf..i admit...
mmm
i guess ill ask you
do you think the vast majority of Deaf view and hold CI as a miracle of biblical proportions?
i never stated every, i stated a vast majority, the vast majority of us do not see CI as a marcile of biblical proportions...
now if im wrong..
pls deaf ducky
pls by all means
school me here...
thank you
