    Deaf Films

    I was there for the entire 3 days. A lot of them were very good films. I especially enjoyed the one from Thailand. I love you but was probably the worst film out of all those good ones, it was shoot in 80's with all those cheesy lines and lousy actors. I admire Peter Cook's on stage performance...

    residential vs. mainstream

    :crazy: I disagree. The requirement of a good college education in a contented existence is must. Your solution is backward thinking; skilled trades are no longer in demand as it were in the pre-war period. A few demanding profession I can think of are nursing, construction, and automobile...

    Advancement in CI Technology?

    Why should scientists find cures for disabilities? Let me tell you why. It is about giving people choices. The scientists are not going to chase you down the street and drag you back to the hospital and regenerate your haircell once they find a cure. The cure is going to be available for those...

    Advancement in CI Technology?

    we got to take one step at a time. I think sensorineural hearing loss is a simpler disease in nature compared to many of the diseases you listed above. If scientists are able to regenerate haircell, it is very possible the next time they are going to do is to regenerate a large part of central...

    Work or Welfare or college?

    I'm talking about numbers here. Lets look at an example. Lets compare 100 high school graduates to 100 Harvard, Yale, and Columbia law school and b-school graduates. Do you think that the CHANCE the latter group is more happy in life than the former? I think so. *they can not afford high...

    residential vs. mainstream

    I have to disagree with you on that deaf/hoh students have to pass a test to go to mainstream schools. That is like justifying that deaf schools are easier than mainstream schools and I do not think that is the point you are attempting to make. A better solution should be a test on the...

    residential vs. mainstream

    I think there are no one-glove-fit-all cases in that you just stated. Not all the deaf kids will be better off if they went to residential schools and transfer to mainstream schools later on. Children need friends, and once they make friends in residential schools it is hard for them to let go...

    residential vs. mainstream

    A few things I am not clear about your point. 1. Are you in a specail education program? 2. Why do deaf children need special teaching methods to achieve the same in school as their hearing peers? It seems like you are saying that teachers must be trained to teach deaf kids. But in...

    Is Animal welcome to house of GOD?

    A question for you: is there a fine definition on where consciousness begins in the animal kingdom? Sure, human has consciousness and it is likely that dogs share the same attribution. Is there a relationship between being conscious and have a soul?

    Work or Welfare or college?

    There exists a variety of degrees of physical disability that limits ones performance on jobs. Doctor’s order may or may not be a true indictor on whether the person can or cannot perform certain job; it is only a health advice that should be taken seriously. But I would definitely applaud...

    Work or Welfare or college?

    I disagree. It is rarely for a hearing person to understand the deaf culture and to provide accommodations to meet the deaf employee’s needs. I believe it is the deaf people’s responsibility to educate employers in order to reduce discriminations as result of ignorance on the employer’s part. If...

    Low Expectations

    It does not surprise me that some hearing people cannot spell. Being hearing has its disadvantage in spelling because they relay on auditory sense to remember spelling whereas many deaf people remember the spelling of words base on the word structure. I both strategies has no advantage over one...

    Recent GPA?

    if you are a DORK, I guess there is no reason to doubt that you have a 4.25 GPA. But do remember, the GPA is merely a number which do not measures one's potential.
