That post wasn't necessary.

It comes with age, starting around 19 people start losing the higher range, so I'm the only person in my family who hears the tv and computer buzzing and lights, ha ha. 22,000Hz is dog whistle range... which hurts, LOL

We disagree on at least 97% of things, the only thing we agree on is Music, ha ha. We're different religions, and from different backgrounds, and none of our disagreements hurts our friendships.

Cool! Thanks for the link! It'll distract me for my homework for a while that I don't want to do, HAH! yeah, we're pretty much given up, we'll make a few remarks here and there about it, but its our daily banter that we always have, we're just both staying with our side of the argument.

Yeah, he still says that he thinks ASL is only used as communication but we're done debating about it, I made one final stand on culture and Deaf culture, and that was that. Surprisingly he has two deaf aunts that I guess weren't important enough to mention until we were done, ha ha I really...

Don't worry, its fine, I just don't want anyone getting in trouble because of me, or what I would like to learn.

Is it so terrible to ask help from the people that would know best? Please stop, I don't want this to get out of hand, if you don't agree with the people posting and you are adamant enough about your feelings then send it to them privately, or on your own board, don't try and start things with...

Well, now we're going off on linguistics and Anthropology of anything, its almost stopped being about Deaf and ASL and has just turned into who can give the most proof and the better definition of culture, ha ha Please don't start arguing on here guys, thats not what I wanted, I wanted opinions...

He said that just because I had a website that explained Deaf Culture doesn't mean it is a culture... I'm seriously about it drop this with him, he's starting to get a little rude with it.

The problem isn't what defines Deaf Culture, but that Deaf Culture exists at all, for him, anyway.

He knows about those, and I've also told him that ASL is used in Canada and Mexico and a lot of Asian and African countries, but he skipped over that part, :giggle: Well, I just sent my message about the Deaf Culture, so he hasn't answered yet. And I'm not sure what edition he's using, I'm...

He's not an idiot, he's very VERY smart, and its a good debate, its not like we're yelling and being rude to each other, its just a debate, when we're around each other, we don't even talk about it unless something comes about. I was just looking for perspective from people who have been...

Well that was my mom, I'm not angry with him, I just want him to see my side, the correct side... and I always love a good debate.

I've used that one time with my boyfriend, but it was on a much smaller scale. He was always telling me I was 'wimping out' because I chose to take ASl as a foreign language and one day, he was invited with me to my friends birthday party, with about 20 other people. My friend, her mom...

I've sent him many links, and professional opinions on the matter but none of it works. His only leg to stand on is Black's Law, its a dictionary used by lawyers, and according to him it says that ASL is just a branch of English and I've sent him so many links and even printed it out and he's...

It depends on the hertz, really. I know that anything past 16,000Hz and to 22,000Hz (which most people can't hear but lucky me, I can) hurts really bad. And some low pitches, like the really really low ones are annoying.

Deaf Culture. My friend is a very logical person, in debate and always has to be right. We're both hearing but I don't really know how that matters here. We've had this on-going debate over if ASL is a real language and if there is such a thing as 'Deaf Culture' I have many supportive...

My friend's mom is an interpreter and gave me a few classes when I was about 11 or so, and I have a deaf friend, and then I found out they gave it as a foreign language credit at school and I've been taking classes for almost one and half years.

Wow... I don't know if I could answer that question very well, ha ha. I'm hearing and I have above average hearing. I don't think I've ever really disliked it, but since I can hear very well there are lots of sounds that I don't like, like the buzzing that TVs or computers give out, and...

I would just hate having to remember them all, ha ha!
