I did get lots of responses, but none has been answered when I asked those following questions from one of my posts. "What do you think micro-aggression looks like? How can people who commit micro-aggressions be so unaware of their actions? Even if they represent unintentional slights and...

I would like to be a reaper. :)

So true.... I'm not upset, but I am bothered by it.

Is it true that all deaf and hard of hearing people incapable of speaking? What about those who have learned how to speak well? Are they "inability to speak" just because they are "deaf?" Is "Dumb" considered the right word for them?

I gave up wearing CI when i was 13 years old. :)

I was doing a research on "Deaf and Dumb" and found an organization that advertises "Glasgow Society for the Education of Deaf and Dumb." Don't you guys think that is pretty offensive? Glasgow Society for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb

Oh Wow! I would advise you to tell your dad to speak with a lawyer. I have been told that all buildings are required by law to have flashing fire alarms. It doesn't matter what room you are staying in. http://www.ehow.com/list_6523471_code-fire-alarm-strobe-placement.html

I learned how to sign BSL from friends who I met on Deaf4life. I'm profoundly deaf and sign fluently in ASL. I went to the University of East Anglia as part of study abroad program. I took a BSL class as one of my elective classes. Also I met deaf people who live there. There is cultural...
