I am glad there are some people who can think much further here like BigSpike. I see nothing wrong with Bush. If there's something definitely wrong with it maybe it could be that it's your own problem with religion. Bush doesn't have the problem. He's not teaching religion at all. There's...

No controversy, but I always like to share that for me, I wouldn't care to have a skill in ASL unless it was a part of my life. The thing is that, for me, there's no one who uses ASL, and I am not very interesting in keeping up the skill just because I don't find it useful anywhere in my life...

Even if it is on a leash, the kiddo could have just kept getting in the monkey's space. It wouldn't matter either way. I think the Grandmother needs to get a life, and take responsibility for little stupid actions in life. Some people just won't take responsibility.

I would say grocery stores, big chain stores like Wal-Mart, Targe, Bigg's, fast food chains are places that hire easier than any other places. If you don't mind cleaning, then you could try hotels. The best way is to apply to a couple of those places. Wait and see if you hear back. If not...

How so? I believe he focuses on other issues more than religion. Bush mentions HIS OWN religion words once in a while, but it's not enough to mundane his speeches to the rest of the world. I am sorry, but I don't see it that way at all. I think some just give it too much importance...

I just heard a story in the News about a boy who was attacked by a pitbull. He provoked it. I don't know anymore, but anyway...I wouldn't care if people talked about pitbull. I voted, "yes." You know...it might be best to call it Animal Rights to cover a wider range of discussions? I...

Well, you had it easier than some of us! Thanks for your words. : D

I have talked to a CI guy before who used TC and his parents were using less signs overtime. I asked how he felt, and he doesn't care. I think there are variety of opinions. Some kids manage fine without it and some do not. There are some parents who are lazy and don't even want to try...

I think that the President talks about his own religion for himself. He is religious himself. Who can accommodate everyone? There's never going to be a President where he'll agree with everyone. When I hear him mention religion, I am not bothered. I let him say it for himself because he is...

Hi john, I understand where you are coming from. It is a hard decision, but it is not black and white about the problem in the Deaf Community. I believe they are only excuses as they are endless. They are just scared of the unknown. We know that the CI works most of the time and in its own...

Hey thank you for sharing DeafScuba98. I know I read yours VamPyrox. *wink* I did go to college because my mother could not stand the thought of taking a year off. What happens? I am failing some classes because it was only mom's choice. I know that college gives people a better chance of...

Okay, by now, probably my whole family knows that I have dropped college. I say it because somehow it's going to come out anyway. I did it for a reason. I wanted to get out, work, and find out who I am before I go back again. It's only been 2 months since I have been out of college. My...

I know, but 90 percent of the parents are the ones who raise deaf children. I wouldn't listen to Deaf Militants. I don't find them right in their mind. I have no doubt that many oral considered failures did not receive enough therapies. I don't think that oralism is flawed at all. It's...

I did not say that CI people perform like a mild hearing loss person. I am saying that their hearing level will go up to mild, but if the CI is a failure or they can "only" hear environmental sounds, then it means that they just cannot decipher speech sounds in order to make it useful or...

Well, you have to think about it. Should they not get married? I think it's best they marry someone with none or mild ones to be able to best make decisions and things like that. It's not "you're stupid, and I am smart attitude." It's just teamwork to work things out. Someone sort of...

Yes, but like I said before, the store has those PlayBoy Magazines and guns elsewhere. They are not just anywhere. Why don't we have Playboy in the aisle by the cash register? Why not have guns in the grocery stores? Why not have guns lying around the house? There's a reason. I say that...

deafdyke, 99 percent of those people do hear through the speech range. Their hearing is up to mild. The problem is that they cannot decode speech sounds into speech. Also, if you do very well with hearing aids...no, you cannot get a CI and that depends on the percentage criteria in CI...

I believe that not all Deaf agree to oralism. I do believe that sign language can be a "crutch" to oralism in some children. I did not learn sign language, but I was put in a deaf school where the kids were not ahead that much in oralism. I began to mimick their 'noises.' That said, I am...

Hi guys, thank you! I will try to think of your advices next time. Also, I think that johnesco makes sense. Thanks for your insights. I will think of it : D

I guess I am looking for something to start minimally, rather than going into years of schooling before teaching anything, you know? I guess, it looks like a Bachelor's degree is the maximum needed and maybe a certification. I would not know about special education yet. I'll explore more...
