One more thing...
If you deaf people want to get some respect from hearing people... You deaf people have to work on your apperances seriously... I noticed that made huge difference... For example, few years ago, I only wore blue jean with baggy t-shirt with baggy jacket. It was for my own comfortable level... No one pay me respects but only deaf people because they just accept each other for who they are... I decided to change the way I dress... I bought clothes from ExpressMen, GAP, Banana Republic, D&G, Abercrombie & Fitch, American Eagle, Nordstroms and Macys... I got alot of respects from hearing people. Also some of you deaf people need to stop saying "DEAF POWER!" that turned so many hearing people off. Try to be level with hearing people just get them to respect you deaf people. Also work hard to prove them wrong and prove yourself that you can do it! It is alot of work but worth it.

I agree with Metroguy, because I was raised in the hearing world. I noticed that a deaf kid did not say "thank you " to the bus driver, and deaf people NEED TO change their attitudes towards hearing people. I feel totally mortified because deaf people have bad attitudes and because of that, hearing world does not want to be with us.
A question for you: DO YOU WANT TO BE AROUND WITH RUDE PEOPLE OF ANY KIND? I don't want to be around them especially those who are demanding, grumpy, or even culturally separated!
We, deaf people need to change our ways, and change them NOW!
