My reading level is so low I cannot comprehend what you are saying. :roll: I'm almost done with high school and I can sit down and read just as well as any hearing person can. I can write in English very well and I have been complemented on it. I grew up in an entire deaf family except for...

How did she wind up pregnant in the first place is my main concern? I hope she truly was not raped as mentioned above. The horrors...

Shame no one has mentioned Inuyasha here. :)

I remember one time we were watching a television show and a phone is supposed to be going off, to see the error "vibrator going off" on the screen. I really wondered at the time if there was a way to get "better" closed captions.

Your hearing friend needs to grow up. That that job to probably make a living off of. I would hate to hear those kind of remarks, whether they are funny or not. Thank goodness I cannot hear a phone to hear those kind of jokes. That is very offensive.

This thread is pointless... Makes me wonder how this person will do on the grammar part "of their paper."

:giggle:

I think though how some of these children getting a swat for backtalking a teacher or cheating a test is ridiculous. I'm not in public schools but I know if this were us, we would rather get in trouble at school than at home. I asked my sister about this and she said the school district sent...

I believe the correct term is dude. I see nothing wrong with deaf communicating with customers. If people don't interact with deaf employees, how will they learn to interact with deaf people in general?

Not always true. You seem to associate that all hearing people are bad. I'm deaf - profoundly deaf since birth. I find some of the responses to this thread to be horrible. Some things have changed since the 1800s. :roll: My parents have the attitude that all hearing people are bad and etc...

Thanks everyone for your responses. My sister and parents do not get along. I do not want my sister to move away and believe that all deaf parents do this. My parents have not used us to interrupt for them, even though we cannot communicate very well ourselves. I am glad that the deaf parents...

The best is when people notice that you're deaf. I do not believe by law (unless the person chooses) that a company can make you wear a badge that says, "I'm deaf." At my work, I refuse to wear anything that says "I'm deaf." I may not speak well, but if a person slows down enough when annoyed...

I think it depends on the individual and how you identify yourself. My brother is technically HOH as he has mild hearing loss. He identifies with himself as HOH. He can hear really well with his hearing aids. My brother says he is deaf. He has not been able to hear since he was three. I say I'm...

Hello! I'm from an all deaf-family except my brother is HOH and my sister who is hearing. My parents really do not like hearing people and have always disliked them. They always get frustrated with them and often refuse to engage hearing people or acknowledge them. My dad especially dislikes...

The best thing to happen is when we go into a restaurant as a family. My sister is the only one who speaks as she is hearing. My dad can speak but refuses to. Yesterday we were in the restaurant and we were signing all out in conversations at the table. The waitress came up and took our drink...
