I can see the difference between Deaf and Hearing World. I had the feeling that Deafies culture are more warm than Hearing culture because I know the difference between Hearing and Deaf because I living in hearing world is work, my sons´s school, hearing parents, etc. etc. etc.

Something like that:
We (deafies) kiss on each cheek 3 times when we greet each other. Hearing? No, but say "Hi or Hello or shake the hand when we greet each other.

I remember when we celebrated my hubby´s 50th birthday in the resturant. The owner and waitresses was like

when they saw us greet our deafies friends is kiss each cheek and happily chat and laugh..... Hearing? All what I saw is chat polite. The waitress said that deafies like this fanastic her very because she saw it for a first time in her life how warm deafies are and hold together.

If we want to visit my friends then make arrange thru fax or mobile phone. We (deafies) serve our friends coffee and cake, then evening snack, have them stay as long as they like until midnight or after midnight but Hearing? Hearing do is serve them coffee and piece of cake, then give them feeling that they should "go".

Hearing doesnt find Deaf jokes funny but we do. We (Deafies) doesnt find Hearing jokes but they do.

I notice that we (Deafies) are very straightforward people and more than hearing. We love to meet new people from other countries and socialize with them. We (deafies) said "Hi, are you deaf? we are deaf" when we saw deaf foreigners or strangers on the street then chat with them on the street then go to cafe.....

Exactly!

Now you see this is deaf culture and different as hearing culture.

I totally agree with you 100%

We all need to do our part to keep Deaf Culture and Heritage alive and well.

Me?... I'm starting another year as a mentor for deaf kids in a mainstream high school here. I wasn't exposed to the Deaf community and sign language until after high school. By coming to the students, I can bring to them what I searched for. I've worked with few students so far and it's been rewarding.

I also visit with my Deaf friends, participate in local Deaf Clubs and state associations, Deaf Awareness activities and live the culture/heritage thing right here at home.

It's not even work. That to me is being an advocate. ...You?

this is what some wrote
))))))deaf person tends to go inside and flip the lights on for attention.

Our Culture has doorbell light, phone light, vibration under bed for alarm, turn light on at night driving for chat, etc. Nothing to do with food.

As for hearing culture: They dont welcome anyone without phone first. They dont have many equipments like we have like: phone light, etc. They set their time limit for chat with their friends. Hearing tends to have right on time for anything. We, deafies, tend to postponing our times.

Hearing are not honest with their families/friends if they have short or long hair cut. They are polite to say nice words. We are not polite...we tell truth period! We are more of straightforward, not hearing people! (((((((

Just for clarification, I was only providing the word that vfr was looking for. I do not have enough information or experience with the deaf community to determine culture or not, and it'd be foolish of me to judge.

Right now, we are in the technology world, it may sound like myth...

I do believe in strong deaf culture. If I were hearing, I would say Myth...

The deaf have both a community and a culture. While the idea that the deaf have a culture and community is news to many hearing people, it has existed for a long time.

Decreasing number of deaf individual attends to any deaf club...

vfr · 09-07-2005, 08:44 PM

there is a man who wants to build a deaf town! normally i would say cool and move there! BUT!!!!!! he want to build it in SOUTH DAKODA!!!WTF!?!

he must be crazy! i mean the land he wants to use has no sewer line to water lines no nothing! he wants to start from scratch!! whoa! it will take a billion bucks and still be FUCKING COLD 5 MONTHS OF THE YEAR!!!

there are goast towns all across america..that cuold be used ! i mean ai ask a senator from PA if a group of deaf people wanted to move to an abandoned town would he help give the property over to them? he said FUCK YES!
there are towns that once had a big factory ..to work in and then closed..so the people moved out.. the houses are still there.. the deaf people would just need to drive out to work..at least at first untill more local shops open. but even then 1/2 the people would need work out of town.
the SD plan is not close to a major city that could handle 10 ,000 deaf people.and another 15000 close by.

i would move to a deaf town and start a motorcycle shop......just as long as it is warm 9 months of the year. like pa or south of that.
if any one here is from SD...sorry but i am not going to freeze my ass off in 15 inch snow when i could me riding my bike in MD.

Our Culture has doorbell light, phone light, vibration under bed for alarm, turn light on at night driving for chat, etc. Nothing to do with food.

Our Culture stays up late and not worry about time. We enjoys chatting forever and not worry about how late it is. We are very open minded about welcoming anyone to our home or reveal about ourselves.

As for hearing culture: They dont welcome anyone without phone first. They dont have many equipments like we have like: phone light, etc. They set their time limit for chat with their friends. Hearing tends to have right on time for anything. We, deafies, tend to postponing our times.

Hearing are not honest with their families/friends if they have short or long hair cut. They are polite to say nice words. We are not polite...we tell truth period! We are more of straightforward, not hearing people!

I could go on and on but Im sure you all know what Im trying to say.

You're kidding right?

All hearing people are always on time, devoid of spontaneity, "set time limit for chat with their friends"? LOLOL If you really believe that, it's because that is your experience with hearing people.

I have a coffee date with a coworker that's been postponed for a month now. Someone ought to tell her that she's hearing and should NOT postpone, and better be on time. (BTW, my boss would laugh her ass off if she heard that one...)

The things you mentioned are just personality differences, not cultural differences.

My friends and I have stayed up all night talking. My friend in Canada called me at 2 am last night...not unusual. When I got out with "the girls" we often shut the place down staying late.

And people drop by all the time unannounced. My soon to be MIL has a saying, "If you came to see me, come on in...if you came to see the house, call first."

Edited to add that I'm pretty offended at the idea that being Hearing = being immoral. I think I'm a VERY moral person. Morality, like the other things you mentioned, has NOTHING to do with a person's ability to hear. Good GRIEF.

Incidentally, there are EMOTICONS doing things on here that I wouldn't do. LOL
