    Were Adam and Eve the first people?

    There isn't any need to be derisive towards somebody's beliefs. The fully honest Christian readily admits that there is ultimately no proof by scientific standards and that he or she can't answer all questions, that in the end it's a matter of experience and belief. For me I find too much...

    Double Standards? Oralism And Asl?

    I'm surprised Braille would be seen as "unfashionable". The only thing I would imagine somebody might find difficult would be the extra weight of books because of the heaviness of the paper, but it seems to me that aside from that, Braille could be very convenient. I mean, you can't listen...

    Accent reduction course

    I hate the accent stereotypes, but sadly they are VERY pervasive. I have the ability to switch mine from New Jersey to Midwest to Alabama at will, and as sad as this is to admit, unless I interview for a company that has a lot of pride in the region, I'm going to keep my Southern accent very...

    Stereotypes of the deaf and hard of hearing

    No...THAT would go for little boys with ADHD. My dad got dragged to an audiologist when he was little because he wouldn't answer his mother when she called him. The doctor diagnosed him with "selective hearing". ;) And good point on the "louder isn't better" thing. I only found that out at...

    ABC Cards are part of deaf culture!

    That's rather rude, for them to set out to deceive people that way. That's how I see it, and sad to say, this kind of thing can turn people off from helping out people who are REALLY in need. I don't care for it one bit.

    Blind out of touch with Brialle

    I know somebody who uses that JAWS software you're talking about...it seems to be very versatile. I'm going to have to ask him, next time we talk, what his opinion of this article is. I'm not sure if he reads Braille or not, but either way I imagine there are ways for people to educate...

    Were Adam and Eve the first people?

    I imagine that other people not mentioned in the Bible were brought to consciousness so that they could be consenting mates. That is, others would've been born to pre-humans who had our kind of minds and souls. I think that's a perfectly feasible solution and there's no reason why God couldn't...

    Death Of A Marriage

    If either the man OR the woman wants everything his or her way, the marriage is doomed to fail. NO imbalance is tolerable, despite what you may think. I can tell you that a housewife definitely does NOT "watch TV all day" as you put it. My mother was a stay-at-home mom, and you should be...

    Cons hate liberals

    The problem with netrox' question is that it broadbrushes conservatives just as much as he accuses conservatives of broadbrushing liberals; to assume that all conservatives are hateful people is hypocritical. So is assuming that conservatives don't look at a candidate's platform issue-by-issue...

    Stereotypes of the deaf and hard of hearing

    LOL, well, it's not TREMENDOUSLY loud. I have been pretty careful...especially now that I have a new car where I don't have to turn it up so far to overcome the road noise! :) And Interpretrator--good point about the interpreter's demeanor! I think that people assume from watching the news...

    Were Adam and Eve the first people?

    Even if God created us through evolution, it seems there would've had to be a first man and a first woman to be given the kind of souls and knowledge of God that we associate with our kind of humanity. It doesn't seem unreasonable that their stories would be passed down, and that we would...

    Death Of A Marriage

    So equality in marriage somehow leads automatically to its dissolution? Nice try. For your information, I know several Christian families where there is no oppression of women where the marriages are EXTREMELY stable...all the MORE so because issues are actually talked about and debated openly...

    Accent reduction course

    If someone WANTS to take the class then I think it can be a good idea. When I was in college for Spanish, those who wanted the full degree had to go through a phonetics course that was geared towards helping us to reduce our accents. While I was one of the students who had less of a problem, I...

    Stereotypes of the deaf and hard of hearing

    Ya know, I've often wanted to throw this fact at certain family members of mine who think I can't POSSIBLY be aware of an emergency vehicle when my radio is on loud (I am hearing, but rarely is the music ever off!). That's what mirrors are for. ;)

    Deaf-blind priest arrives for charity date

    15 languages--is this a world record? I've never heard of ANYBODY who spoke that many, not even the previous Pope!

    Interpreting the early signs of RSI

    I noticed the pairing of interpreters at a graduation ceremony I went to, and I was wondering about this. What a timely article. ;)

    University Panel Backs Firing Ward Churchill

    Very good! This guy was shady all around; the plagiarism was just the tiniest symptoms of worse problems.

    For Skilling and Lay, no posh prisons

    If the children are proven innocent--even if they ARE adults--they should not be punished. If they were knowingly involved, then I say the same as I did about spouses in the same situation. But taking revenge on people who were NOT involved is out of line no matter how much you want vengeance.

    Bible Belt = more divorces

    Right, while I DO believe strongly that there are fakers (more than we'd like to admit), I think there are a lot of other people who are very good--like I said, I've observed one such Christian couple up very close and I know they have a marriage built on equality, and built to last.
