How The Deaf Community Is Dealing With Cochlear Implants

[jpcwa]

Laugh all you want, but you still have not proven my position to be false.

 

[jpcwa]

you implied it.

NO I didn't. My original position wasn't even about hearing aids.

Where's iavswn?

Someone chose the wrong screen name it appears....should have gone with "Dick Shunary" instead.

Maybe that is how he learned to spell fallacious.

 

[jpcwa]

The girl in the sound and fury movie that was implanted is no longer DEAF.

That is my original position and I specifically said, "implanted". So obviously I was not making any implications about hearing aids.

"fallacious" is accurate. I did not miss-spell the word.

Nothing like rolling into a deaf website, writing like a hearie, and defining various deaf/hearing levels to make a thread go hot in a hurry!

Ain't cut and paste wonderful? You never have to think again as long as you can cut and paste.

I know. Congrats.... I noted that you were able to spell it correctly.

Heh. Somebody's short on humor around here. Sesame Street anyone?

Funniest part is that it is kind of bringing the group together to stomp out the intruder. We are rubbing shoulders with members we rarely agree with.

Please clarify your position. Are you suggesting that a deaf person that gains benefit with a CI is no longer deaf?

Stupidity is a real motivation for coming together.

I wasn't rubbing shoulders with you...I was wiping my hand on your back.

I actually love it when that happens. Then I know we are really a hive mentality.

I called it ignorance but I am beginning to wonder if it might be stupidity.

Yep

 

[Bottesini]

I wasn't rubbing shoulders with you...I was wiping my hand on your back.

And I wasn't kicking you. I was just tripping blindly over your shin.

Know this particular poster. It isn't ignorance.

 

[jpcwa]

Please clarify your position.

I already posted my position and what I was arguing. Nevertheless, there is no point in debating you; All you have done is call me names and insult me.
