Well of course you are, Bott!
Told you so! Now confirmed.
Well of course you are, Bott!
Somebody told her that deaf peeps get into the movies for half price.
The title of this thread keeps making me think it says I want to be dead.
If you still want to be deaf, just get a cochlear implant. For an extra $1000, they will install a “backwards” switch that will suck the sound out of your head and transmit it back where it came from. Very useful at times. My wife leaves hers on all the time when I’m talking to her.
why you, a healthy person, want to be a deaf?.
She wants to be culturally Deaf.
Besides, I am a healthy as a deaf person.
That make a lot of sense as hearing people love to be in the Deaf Culture and loving the ASL. I wish the AGB (Alexander Graham Bell) groups and Audists would do the same like her. There is nothing wrong with being deaf. And the problem is they have never experience what is like to be deaf. So what the beef? Lipreading is sooo hard and speech can be suck, too. If she want to be in our Deaf Culture, then that is fine with me. She is welcome to ours. Eh, guys?
DId you ever think, more people say, "I want to be dead!" in the heat of the moment than " I want to be deaf!" ?
Sure it's ok with me, but I think we scared her away. She didn't expect us to make jokes.
