    God doesn't exist.

    Well, first, that's not true. Second, you do know there no way for me to give you a transfusion, or you me, if you're type A and I'm type B. But humans still can give humans blood transfusions if they ARE the right type, and humans can give chimps transfustions if it's the right type. And they...

    God doesn't exist.

    Great Ape Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia From a biological point of view, Dr. Pedro A. Ynterian from the International GAP Project wrote "Between the two of us we could even have a 0.5% difference in our DNA. The difference between a Chimpanzee and us is only 1.23%. Human blood...

    I wasn't offering the link as proof, but as an interesting related story. But, if you need, here: The Sun Online - News: Chimp bids for human rights Better? :) Here's some science on it: Blackwell Synergy - Transfusion, Volume 29 Issue 6 Page 486 - July 1989 (Article Abstract)

    Um... I hate to tell you this, but chimpanzees and bonobos differ from humans by only 1% of DNA and could accept a blood transfusion or a kidney. BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Chimps genetically close to humans

    Mission Accomplished

    Richard, the truth is that politicans on both sides are shady. They're in power for their own power, not for us. For every Republican that's corrupt is a Democrat that is equally corrupt.

    Captions on HD TVs

    Componant and HDMI are the same data, but HDMI is digital and can provide the audio data as well. You can get 1080i on componant. As well, shows are just in HD. If it's 720p or 1080i depends on the broadcast station. Fox and ABC I think broadcast in 720p and CBS and NBC broadcast in 1080i if...

    God doesn't exist.

    I think you mean lemmings. They follow one another. Lemurs just... look for fruit in the trees and such. :) I've always thought that many people believe in gods through a combination of cultural tradition and intellectual inertia. You're challenging something which many people feel very...

    HDTV ATSC than DVR / Setup-box smooth CC

    I threatened to return it if they didn't fix it, and they did. So I tested it a long time. When they finally fixed it, I bought another. I like the HD-DVR a lot.

    How to sign "made me"

    Two different concepts if someone made you do something that's "she force me." If a movie CAUSED you to be upset, you might sign "movie cause me upset." Make would only be the sign I'd use in PSE or when being lazy. (So, often.) ;) Generally, if really trying not to be PSE, I end up...

    Deaf258, what's with the cat in your avitar? Is that a deaf cat with a test CI? (One of my cats is all white--and deaf.)

    I am proud of myself.

    Interesting. I'm not shocked. I think the same is done with the recent upsurge in gastric bypass for overweight people.

    Have Things Gotten Better or Worse?

    I'm a hearing person and *I'm* happier using sign language. In a loud place, or across a room, it's excellent. My brother and I were each driving our own cars and he was in front and I told him things at stop lights.

    HDTV ATSC than DVR / Setup-box smooth CC

    That doesn't matter. Most High-Def decoders, if they're DVRs or not, can't pass CC coding on HDMI or Componant connections, so the decoder for ATSC has to decode captioning and render it on the screen as it would a menu. Some boxes do this well, some don't. The DirecTV HR-20 does this very...

    Deaf/Hearing Party

    Hearing people smell like cheese. :( Just kidding. I'm hearing. :) Seriously: I pity the 'terp who has to 'terp a party. Whom would he/she interpret for and when? My suggestion: invite enough people who both hear and sign to help those who don't do one or the other. :) My brother...

    How do you sign "just"?

    Cool. I'm on Liberty. ;)

    How do you sign "just"?

    I guess the same sign, for "only." But you're attempting to translate English into ASL and it doesn't work word-for-word. I would make "just--go" (a frustrating comand to go) with a frustrated expression and then this sign: http://commtechlab.msu.edu/SITES/ASLWEB/G/W1460.htm

    Who is single here?

    It was a joke. :) In honesty, I find sex without love physically enjoyable for the moment, but emotionally sad in the long term, and I avoid it.

    How many times...?

    Earth was here more than 4 billion years ago, even. ;) It was mostly molten until about 3.8 billion years ago, however. Ouch.

    Who is single here?

    I seem to be a bye-sexual. I ask women to sleep with me and they say: "BYE!" :D
