in that case, might i suggest a .45 caliber Glock G30



perfect for concealed carry, easily fits in a purse undetected.

What really disturbs me is just because someone is deaf doesn't mean a person needs to raise her/his voice louder to expect a deaf person to hear.

Back in the old days someone I once knew asked me "If I talk loud can they hear me?" and I said "no, If a deaf person doesn’t understand you while talking slowly then get a paper and pen" ..

Freckles- I'm sorry you had such a bad day, dont let these kind of people bother you. I guess their parents didn't teach them any manners..

i was once frisked anad had my car searched by two detectives as they told me there was a rumour that I had a Glock , unreal. I had no idea where that shit came from.But yup they're good handguns to have. Firearms are extremely dangerous for anyone to think about those have to think real long ans hard. One fuck up with those can change your course of life drastically.

anyway being deaf does surely sux, I am a grad student, its so hard with out a much needed interaction, hearing students have it all for granted, and no I'm not doing deaf studies as I think it's too narrow minded. Try explaining deafness as a disability these days to what is now dominated by a poliically correct dogma saying 'deaf are not dumb' but need sign language yet, the pubilc reacts and gives us the total opposite !! they THNKS we ARE dumb and they by well and large still havent got a clue about the problems of being d/Deaf. I know what ? i reckon we ought to rage agains the 'supercrip' mentality I mean deaf people DO NOT need to get over our 'handicapps' the bloody hearing should start stop being selfish, the list can go on and on like i dont wanna repeat what you all would say, but yep Id say this once, EVEN the so -called 'understanding' hearing freinds ASSUMED they KNOW more about my understanding of deaf problems, they ALWAYS talk about how other deaf people have done well!! this sort of bullshit has to go...
...being deaf does suck...just because we cant hear - it doesnt mean we dont know... that's the nutshell of hearie's inability to listen !!!

Yea, I hate it when hearing people assume that they know what it is like to be deaf and compare me to other deaf people who have done better. Excuse me!!! Geez!

Shel and Grummer hit the button on that - it is indeed very annoying when hearing people, even those with good intentions, to get on my soapbox and start preaching about what's the best deal for deaf people. I'm like, excuse me...get off my soapbox! You don't know what it is like being deaf and being stuck in a society that remains to be oppressive and restrictive.

I agree with Cowpuppy. You should file a complaint against the lady for her unprofessionalism and lack of people skills.

The soapbox preaching, that is one of my pet peeves also.

I guess sometimes being " hearing " sucks. They don't even know how to say " I love you " in hand signing like deaf people do. Pssh -- Oh, oh only interpreters can do better with their certification/or license.

I then demanded for papers and pen again realizing I had left them in another building. rolling her eyes, found a paper and pen, mumbled "gee she's so stupid..." thinking I couldn't read her lips (filled with manures). I kept my cool, wrote down explaining, she totally snatched the paper. while I know people could be just nasty as can be, I stood there dumbfounded. then she did it again. so third time I had the paper, I landed the pen down on paper, pushed it over to middle of the counter and left it there so she'd not do it again. she started yelling at me, GIVE ME THE PEN! I shook my head, no, YOU pick it up, you grabbed twice and that wasn't very nice. she chuckled (or scoffed) and looked around at her co-workers then gave me a stare - give...me...the...pen now (with it right under her fingers!)

gee, so dramatic... ugh. it sucks being deaf. really sucks that I'm about to shoot my head off. (at least the icon does it for me because I don't).

thanks for listening to my vent.
Forgive me for butting in, but that is just "INEXCUSABLE" and you need to let her supervisor know before she does it to someone else. She won't lose her job this time, but maybe her supervisor will let her know better.

I am sorry that she did that. If you acted like that at your job, you would be fired. I am not hateful or vendictive, and I don't want you to do anything but forgive her, but still, if you say nothing, she will continue to wound innocent people with her nasty attitude. The next Deaf person that she does that to might not be as nice and lose their temper, so you might be doing her a favor by saying something to her now, via a note, or going to her boss.

Court house ethics require confidentiality and professionalism. Your taxes pay her wages. You don't have to be mean, and you need to forgive her for your own sanity, but you still don't have to let it go un-noticed. You noticed it. It hurt you,. You have a right to let her know. Good luck. I will shut up now.

in politics, theres no room for forgiveness, just plain hard truth and truth be won. dont give them an inch. in other words dont be so naive, i mean how you can go saying I love you when you know it' so shitty in being deaf in the hearing dominated society?
Deaf politics is extremely limited, it done us hardly any favours except giving a means to enact interpreters as a viable professional careers, limited room for sign language tutors, and teacher's aides (even teachers) and schools for the deafs receiveing an 'appropriate' policy facelift which it meant to quieten us down.

indeed it sux to be deaf, hearing people once again says 'you have all this now' its not so bad, pure bollocks

*chuckles*.. bottesini, I'll live with it.

dreamchaser, thanks for 'butting' in, interesting reply. curious, have you read my post #11? and of course I would forgive if she understood what she did. as william blake says, it is easier to forgive an emeny than to forgive a friend. right now she's my emeny until fate says so.

athina, sorry if my riflings have offended you. I never though
