    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    I don't understand what you mean by not deaf. As I understand it, anyone with hearing loss is deaf(see below). If you mean you still have hearing or still can wear an aid, that does not preclude you from being deaf. You would be not deaf if you had full hearing. Definition of deaf: deaf...

    I think what DeafNerdMommy meant was you need communication with the hearing world.

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    I don't know if it is a difference between a deaf and a Deaf population. That's my question. The video seems to indicate it's a percentage of the Deaf Community. It doesn't say it's a percentage of deaf as a whole. I know a lot of deaf do not have high paying jobs, but I do not know the...

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    Considering that work does not cover hearing aid cost, I don't see the cost difference. In fact, I would think it cost more for an interpreter. And, in both cases I'm guessing there are tax write offs.

    Deaf Unemployment Rate @ 72.5%...!!!

    Close, but there is interaction between deaf and Deaf through ASL. Not everyone who knows ASL considers themselves Deaf. I'm guessing the difference also depends on location.

    Of course they are, their goal is not only to communicate with other deaf people but there rest of the world as well. I don't like the commercialism either, but I don't see any other way to do it. They get laws changed which impacts things such a CC, a benefit to anyone with hearing loss. They...

    Confederate Flag

    The article states the remoal of the monuments is not a solution for social problems. I agree with that statement. However, I also agree you can't move to unity with the existing situation. How do you achieve unity and preserve these monuments?

    Walk4Hearing

    That's incorrect. They are not anti ASL. In fact, many members know ASL. They do not discourage ASL classes. On the other hand, ASL is not a requirement and is not considered a total solution. They realize that the rest of the world doesn't use ASL. So, to bridge that gap they work on...

    What is the best home router on the market?

    You need at least a DOCSIS 3.0 modem and at least a wired/wireless N router. You want Gigabyte speeds even if your carrier doesn't support them yet. There are later standards, but for now you are still good with these. Personally, I'd make sure you router has USB and perhaps storage(if you...

    Update: Billionaire Is “Optimistic” About Buying Island for Refugees

    You're right. People need to solve their own problems. I don't think giving someone an island is going to achieve that goal.

    Update: Billionaire Is “Optimistic” About Buying Island for Refugees

    I don't understand why we are not training and arming all able bodied refugee men so they can take their country back. It seems logical that these people, given the right equipment, would fight harder than the people we are currently training.

    Processed meat causes cancer, says WHO

    My question is: What in the process is causing cancer? Is it something they feed the livestock? Is it in the production process? Are organic meats also carcinogenic?

    Kentucky clerk refused have same sex marriages license!

    There is no problem as long at the person doesn't get paid. In fact, there are plenty of people not doing things and not getting paid. I see no reason, no reason whatsoever, to break with this trend.
