I realise that the government spends money on other things as well, but I still feel that if they spend less on me, they're spending less than they'd be spending otherwise. But I think I do understand what you're saying. If suddenly nobody needed government financial assistance any more, would...

Taking money from the government results in higher taxes. That means every time I accept financial support from the government, everybody who pays taxes is paying to support me. Giving money back to the government results in lower taxes. Why would I not want to repay my debt to society? I'm...

I don't think I'm actually letting anybody force me to conform. I guess I'm just doing it because of the economy, and I can't afford to neglect anything that might affect my chances of some day (hopefully soon) being able to make a living.

Sorry, I thought you were joking :Oops: Annie is really super common where I grew up. I have a lot of family members in my extended family whose middle names are Annie. :giggle:

I graduated with a girl named Jennifer! :rofl:

No harm done :)

That wasn't my sentiment. I was rephrasing Cheri to see if I understood correctly. For my part, this board has been very helpful to me in terms of adapting to the social changes in my life. Without the help of this board (or rather the people on it), I would not have had the will to seek the...

Let me see if I understand this correctly. You say no deaf person has ever been helped by another, so why should that ever change? :hmm: The hearing community is who I finally had to turn to, and they are helping me. They were also able to think of methods less absurd than rioting in the...

I'm working as hard as I can earning credentials and learning new skills in order to get a "real job" in the hearing world and on the hearing world's terms because there's nothing fun about getting free money, it isn't easy, and there is no pride in it. There are tremendous restrictions placed...

My doctor did tell me that I wouldn´t hear as though I had normal hearing.

Oh yeah! I was just confused with Tweety and Silvester. That was my sister's favourite cartoon when we were little :)

Oops! I see! I missed the word "toy" when I read that the first time :giggle:

I collect Hasbro's My Little Pony, though with the introduction of the G4 (2009) line, I might start collecting fakies too (especially if fakie makers start painting better eyes on their ponies) because I will not be buying G4 ponies. Wait, you have (gulp) animals on your bread box? Um...

Why do you feel lame? I watch My Little Pony, and have ever since I was 9 years old, and I'm 31 years old now. There were very very many cartoons that had little or no voice, especially the earlier cartoons! They were all about action! We don't see those kinds of cartoons often these...
