    Do you view being deaf as a disability or alternate way of life?

    Grummer, that is simply not true. It may be how you FEEL, but its not the way it is. American Heritage Dictionary dis·a·bil·i·ty 1. The condition of being disabled; incapacity. 2. The period of such a condition: never received a penny during her disability. has...

    Deaf Humor?

    Glad you all enjoyed the clip. My son hollers every time he watches it! LOL Unless you were on a wall of MAGNET it could never happen, but that is just too funny! I am the kind of person I can laugh at anything. So, I hope I don't offend anyone or give nightmares! LOL

    Can dogs learn ASL?

    Awwww, sorry to hear that syxp. :( But very happy to hear that I (my son) can sign to the dog. This is going to be GREAT!! I will still use voice commands (one child deaf, one hearing) Any particular dog breed that is better at learning (you know how beagles and German shepherds are...

    Sheriff Raids DMX' Home, Seizes Dogs

    OK, PLate, where the hell did you read that? PLEASE post the link!! DMX left people in charge of those dogs. Why didn't he come back to check on them? Duh! He was probably working! He left them in someone's care and that caregiver mistreated them animals. DMX loves dogs and would kill a...

    Can dogs learn ASL?

    Hey y'all, my son wants a dog. I was wondering if a dog could respond to ASL. Does it have to be a certain breed? I am a dog lover, but I grew up barking commands at them, only using my hands to tell them to come to me. I too want a dog, but I wonder how successful my son will be at...

    Wanted to vent!

    Shel and DeafSkeptic... WOW!! Look! Up in the sky! Its a bird! Its a plane! It's the SUPER-BRAINS!! :bowdown: "When I'm around some hearing I start to question my intellengce after a while." Skeptic, you need to know that you are smarter than a lot of folks simply because you...

    Do you view being deaf as a disability or alternate way of life?

    Thanks for the bump, Grummer! :) Being deaf is an inability. It is a disability when it comes to paperwork! (ex., SSI) It's a handicap when you let it stop you from living/doing. It is a head trip to call it a lifestyle. A lifestyle is a choice you make. No one chose to be deaf. Its either...

    See the Sound: Visual Phonics.

    Or when choking! It would be cool to sign the word HELP! HELP! and someone understood. How about when watching a movie? (Not in the dark) you can comment without disturbing others. When I am on the phone, I will sign with my son to answert his questions. Not being rude to neither him nor...

    Wanted to vent!

    Hmmm, good point. You WOULD have to put them in some kind of system where they can be located. And you rarely know right at birth that your child is deaf... QUESTION TO ALL WHO ARE DEAF: Would it be offensive to you if, as soon as your parents found out you couldn't hear, that they put you in...

    Wanted to vent!

    :ty: I am NATURALLY an advocate for children, so I think they should grow up with their innocence in tact and comfortable in their environments. It hurts my heart to read you all's testimonies about how no one in your families learned Sign language and that you had to go to school with...

    Wanted to vent!

    Its not really about having a spine, its more about the absence of representatives of the Deaf community. Like I said, they were not there, only the experts.:dunno2: If the feelings expressed here are how the majority of deaf people feel, then you need to be more vocal (no pun intended). Get...

    Wanted to vent!

    AllDeaf has helped, but I started getting the comfort a few years ago. Once I was exposed to the Deaf Society, I was all in. Resources are slim, though, so a site like AD is a great resource to ask questions and receive real answers. Not answers from "Experts" who have been hearing all their...

    Who likes Japanese animations?

    My son is addicted to it. He started out watching pokemon, then he has been a Yugioh fan for YEARS! (He totally lost me with Yugioh :zzz: ) Then there was DragonballZ. Now he is into Pokemon again, naruto, Inuyasha and some other stuff that comes on Cartoon Network. One question, why do...
