agentpigeon,
just one very simple statement for you. We do not need people to try spread deaf awareness when we all have been doing that for years upon years.
I would have to agree with Berry there. You really got off easily here, but your thoughts are very muchly appericated. Your heart is in the right place but eh... you just need to THINK about how to approach the issues.. I know you think we, Deaf people, are struggling everyday and need help.
I am profound deaf and have been since birth, and I have struggled with every typical problem that crops up for the Deaf people. But I haven't asked for ANY help because I WANT to prove to them that I can do it without hiding behind protests, parades, or hearing people who think they can help me out.
I single-handedly made so many accomplishments in my home town (Elkton, Maryland for you guys who is curious) to the point where the hearing people in that town and the towns/cities around there changed their point of view on Deaf people.
Do you really want to learn all about Deaf Culture, Deaf people and everything about Deaf? get your butt out of your chair and immerse yourself in the Deaf community ^_~ its only way to really learn about Deaf community, Deaf Culture and so on forth.
