You find it amusing. I find it sad. Would you find it amusing Jewish interns helped the Nazis in concentration camps?

I support Audism Free America; AFA! :)

I am sure many of you guys supports too but sadly, I know some deaf people actually against it. So sad.

Look at the above of my avatar. :deal: So are you attending AFA Rally in DC on July 21-23? I am going.
 
Throwing the label" audist" around is NOT the same situation as being forced to "work in Nazi concentration camp"-at least to me. The same as when Cochlear Implants were " instruments of genocide to the deaf community"_ Harlan Lane

what an idiot, you can be physically deaf, but have a hearing attitude, therefore rightly so be tagged as an audist. This is because a 'deaf person' (NOT a capital "D" Deaf) have internalised the hearing ideology.
So, dont ever say 'DEAF PERSON" all in capitals, since clearly you have demonstrated NO understanding of the differences between deaf and Deaf.
What's so funny about it? the above expression you made is one seriously fucked up shit

No shit. My Deaf brother is one of them!!! Ugh. I cannot believe at his soooo PATHETIC jokes that he made from last week he said to me: "Yes, I support Nazi. *raising arm straight in the air* hahaha. That's why I shaved my head like skinhead. "I wish that I joined Nazi military long time ago. haha but oh well."


It shows how much he hates himself for being Deaf or what. So much for being two-faced at the deaf community for years.

Man, his offensive talk shit really hits the fan at this time. He needs uber-serious psych help for real. He doesn't deserve to be member worker under Z-VRS team. Yeah, not to mention he was kicked out from Z-VRS team in NYC/Long Island region recently. Fk him in hell.

I watched one woman, her vlog about how she against AFA. So I made a hitler video to mock her and she complained that I were cyberbulling her and speech hate toward Aduism. Parody has do nothing with this expect mock.

I find that audists are terribly defensive.

I find it pretty odd that I met a hearing ASL grad school student whose co-hosting for Dave and Buster's deaf social event once every month, he criticizes anyone who attempts to pull audist remarks on other deaf people at the event. Whoa!! He seems so strongly supporting deaf people. How 258!
 
I just now read this entire thread - really deserves a prize-winning double-facepalm.

I'm sorry to say this, but ... do the deafies even realize how loud they actually are, from a hearing person's point of view? They (deafies) need to realize that they are actually speaking OF (not for) themselves.

Exactly like how one episode of an old NBC sitcom "Friends" where Phoebe falls asleep in the coffeehouse, then wakes up and explains to her group of friends why she zonked out - she stayed up all night trying to fall asleep but couldn't only because of her deaf neighbors having loud sex (okay, they are old neighbors who are late-deafened, but still you get my point) ... IIRC, what Phoebe said was this exact quote:

"... they are old, and deaf. They kept reassuring each other they had a great time - you have no idea how LOUD they were!"

And, speaking of my own experiences at college, I once had a suitemate (he's very cute, btw) who has had a deaf roommate before he met me - he told me that deafie was definitely NOT quiet at all (and I'm glad I never met that deafie at all). I was like "aha, figures - why should I be surprised?" He laughed - and we got along well.

The point behind those 2 points stated above is, there has to be some audists around, in the sociological view (I took 3 sociology classes at college). Without diversity, this country wouldn't have existed, or better yet the entire world!

So, please rethink, or if possible, drop the whole "Audism-Free America" thing. No wonder why hearies say that deafies "have a chip on their shoulders," and sorry, oppression doesn't really count as a good counter-answer ... think about it. What is the closest sociological group? La familia (the family) - it always start with your family from birth to death, even if it's just one deafie in a whole family of hearies. Each family has its own values, norms, folkways, and mores.

Just ... *taps on side of forehead* think about it. Please.

Yeah, it is really sad when someone has such resentment against who and what they are that they fill themselves with hatred like that. But, by the same token, when they start to spread that hatred all over others, it becomes offensive and oppressive, and they have to be set straight. Audism and hatred is not to be tolerated, no matter who it comes from.

Looks like you didn't learn much from those 3 sociology courses you had in college. Perhaps you should have added a few more, taken a couple of anthropology courses, and then studied some deaf history and applied a little fluid thought in connecting the dots across disciplines.:cool2:

Swimming deaf? Do you ever swim hearing?

We all do things deaf, I sleep deaf, I cook deaf, I go to the bathroom deaf, I read deaf, i get groceries deaf, ad nauseam...why? Because I'm deaf, just like you.

So, it's rather redundant to say swimming deaf when everything you do is done deaf. I am starting to think maybe you need to stop taking "Hearing Helps" classes and start looking into "Therapy Helps" classes.

I cannot decide if I found his statement amusing or sad. Maybe a bit of both?
