My opinion is that all deaf schools need to be more focused on english. It is more about the teaching of deaf culture. Meaning the teaching of ASL. I mean ASL is good, but in a way, I'd say when the kid is young, use SEE with them so they can learn english, and as they get older, teach them ASL...

I second that oceanbreeze.

Fascinating. New sign languages are developing really fast, but that's good. That's great.

There are 2 ways of looking at deafness. A person can either be "deaf" or "Deaf." If a person has a hearing loss but doesn't partake in the culture at all, then the person is deaf. But if another person is Hard of Hearing or even hearing pathologically but uses ASL and partakes in the culture...

I don't think this is Bush's place to judge, it is Gods. Bush should not bann gay marriage because he is not God. He should treat all people as people and not subhuman. That is what bush is treating the gays and lesbians.

Well, my parents don't approve of my boyfriend. Let's put it this way, me and my boyfriend are in love, both of us have very strong feelings for each other. My mom and dad don't think he has strong feelings for me. They think I should date other guys and cheat on him. I think that is selfish and...

It is up to God to what he want to do with the child, if he want to make the child deaf, then it will be deaf, if he want to make child hearing, then it will be hearing. It is not up to the parents to make the child deaf, THAT IS WRONG, and SELFISH. Plus, the kid will be in an environment that I...

I am stright but I respect homosexuals. I have a good friend who is lesbian and I respect her for who she is.

I know ASL

For home I'd use TTY or internet relay. TTY for local calls and there is this service called Nextalk which I use for my long distance calling. I also use internet relay.

Sorry, i just found out about it I guess. i really never used ip-relay up until now. So, I'm sorry.

It depends. you could come up with your own sign name. Or it could be given to you by someone who is deaf. It doesn't matter to me. What you do is that you sign the first letter of your name and think of something unique about yourself. Like say, you are a musician, and your name began with an...

Hey I just found out about this new service to the deaf and hard of hearing community. If you sign up for the website and download the software, you can call a TTY in any location in the U.S, for FREE! Ain't that awesome. If you have a friend or someone who uses a TTY and getting sick of paying...

Very interesting story Richard. They think that ASL will be universal. PPPFFTTTT.

I agree with what reba said. Some deaf people prefer ASL. Some, like you, prefer SEE. It just depends on the individual.

:pissed: I think this is sick. Why did the state of florida have to ban gay adoptions? Just one more loving family the child was taken away from, this is stupid. People these days are so discriminatetory. But why? Why do people have to hate? Say a child is living with biological parents and they...

I agree with you Richard, that ie would be nice if the NAD captioned their videos, it would be a good example. But yet, captioning has still ways to go, even on t.v not all shows are captioned.

If I was an adult which I am going to be in half a year, I am 17 and a half. You guys say in order for your kids to have cell phone/pager they need to work for it. Well, I would understand if you have only a part time job like Dominicks or something like that, but if you are full time and get...

Awww. (Blow nose). That is so sweet. I'm sure your brother is lucky to have a sister like you. You are a sweetie.
