I guess with some families there would be a lot of fallout involved and that may well be too much for the victim to bear as well

I heard that the main reason they're so pushy is that if they "witness (or cause)" a conversion to their faith, then they're gauranteed a path to heaven. The more they convert, the higher the guarantee. Having said that, I will say it is hearsay on my behalf, and I cannot vouch for the truth of...

Yeech.....Couldn't see myself kissing anything that licks its own ass..lol

Hahaha - good on you, making that fool face his arrogance and eat it as well. Some folks just aint fit to be teachers (or sometimes humans as well!).

I remember watching a documentary on a boy's prison in Russia several years ago. Makes all our prisons look like holiday camps, violence included. It was very racially structured with the Mongolian youths at the bottom of the ladder and having the least privileges. If they wanted meat...

I am moderately deaf and many people don't pick it up and are usually surprised when I tell them. They then notice that one or two words sound a bit odd. If I want to be alone, I only need to start singing.....lol. Even the cat hides hehe.

An interesting thread here. As to the people you dressed down, they were typical of many people viewing what they don't or won't understand. It crosses into all areas and even many of us here are guilty of it as well. How many of us have spotted some kid misbehaving and said "What an...

Thanks for that, folks. Another one for the filing cabinet upstairs.... I went hoh about 3 years old, possibly mumps? Only deaf one in entire family and the first we know of

I'm led to believe that a certain US Vice - President about the WW I era who had huge timber pulping interests sought to have it banned (successfully) for all sorts of reasons, except of course, that it made more econmical paper, clothing and ropes, whereas timber pulp didn't. In fact, in...

I was totally mainstreamed. Never met another deaf person until I was about 25. I was also one of the first deaf (moderate loss) kid to go through mainstream schools back in the 60's and 70's (in New Zealand). Support systems were zero. My hearing loss wasn't picked up until I was 7. My...

I've noticed in AD that a number of families have more than one deaf person to varying degrees and I was wondering if it is to do with genetic circumstances?

Perhaps you should whatch the TV interview called "The Fog of War" (on DVD too) with Robert MacNamara. He had a different viewpoint about how close we actually DID come to nuclear war.

Interesting to note how people will run a crusade if it involves animal abuse, but joke about people abuse

I must say I agree. There is a bumper sticker getting around here that says "Stop Violence against Women". I agree, but I think the last 2 words should be removed. Why only women?

I live about 80km away from the Australia Zoo. On our local radio station tonite was the host carrying on about how he had issues with the way Steve Irwin did things and he wasn't going to get into the "Glowing Eulogy crap" everyone else was doing on the radio. We were all quite annoyed at work...

I stand corrected and re educated. Thanks Dennis Suppose I'd better withdraw it, if I knew how

Auckland (my main hometown) is worth seeing, it has an abundance of things to see and do in summer, it all depends upon what u want to do. It has a harbour and is a boating mad place. I haven't lived there for 27 years, but visit from time to time. Traffic can be diabolical at times these days...

Thanks Roadrunner

If you right click on the Word file in windows explorer and select "properties" in the dialogue box, unger the General tab click on archive and de- select "read only" in the Attributes section. That should let you play with it then.

You need to realise that pre-nups aren't considered a legal contract in some countries. They weren't in Australia until a few years ago, as it was a legal thing that an individual could not sign away their rights. Also in some places it may be a difficult thing to get the courts to enforce...
