There are members in this forum who have CIs and are incredibly involved in Deaf culture. The one I think of off the top of my head (a personal friend of mine) has a deaf mother, uses ASL daily, attends monthly Deaf socials (we're going to one this weekend!) and has held a position in a Deaf...

BoT= Board of Trustees.

What the heck is that supposed to mean?

And, once again, I point out that Gallaudet students rallied behind Jordan in 1988. A born hearing, late-deafened president was good enough in 1988, but not in 2006?

And so what if there is? You all need to realize that now, more than ever, the Deaf community needs to unite and begin accepting people from diverse backgrounds. To imply that those with implants, those raised orally, or those who attended mainstream schools are not equally capable of...

I personally don't care if she's deaf, Deaf or hard of hearing. Shouldn't we be more focused on the fact that there is a signing person as president again? Some of you are complaining that she didn't learn to sign until her 20s and was raised orally. Point? In 1988 Gallaudet students...

BINGO! People complain that CIs are going to wipe out the Deaf community, but I disagree. I think that the lack of acceptance that you mentioned is going to be what ultimately drives people out of the Deaf community. How can you (all-inclusive) expect people with CIs to learn sign and want to...

Wait a minute... Is Bren Stern Ron Stern's son?

Is anyone here going to AHIHA in Chicago from June 10-18?

Um... No. An atheist is not only someone who does not believe in G-d, but completely denies the possibility that a higher power exists. Therefore, none of the above mentioned groups would be considered atheists. Not believing in Jesus as your savior does not make you an atheist, it makes you...

A lot of people keep saying, "Having a CI doesn't make you hearing," especially when someone like Cloggy mentions that his daughter can hear with her CI. You are all right: Having a CI does NOT make you hearing. However, saying you can "hear" is also not the same as saying you are "hearing."...

I was going to comment with this book title! I just finished reading it, and was astounded by the amount of information Michael Chorost managed to pack into 200 pages. Great book.

I just finished Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made me More Human by Michael Chorost. I'm working on The Working Poor by David Shipler and Wanderlust: A History of Walking by Rebecca Solnit.

Depends where in Wyoming you live, I'm sure. Here in Laramie to get high speed internet, cable and phone in one package costs something like $120 a month (not exact on that, so don't quote me).

Cloggy, Your daughter is adorable! While I have mixed feelings regarding implanting children, it seems as though you and you wife made a wise decision in your situation. I'm think it's great that she's getting so much benefit from the CIs, but that you're using sign as well. :)

There aren't actually any plans for a second movie as of yet. I've actually spoken with Josh Aronson, the director. While he expressed an interest in doing a follow-up film, there hasn't really been any serious discussion on the matter. Based on the article, I don't think the family would...

Your messiah, perhaps, not ours. Jews then and Jews now did NOT believe Jesus was the messiah. There's also been significant amounts of evidence brought forth stating that Jews were not the only ones involved in the killing of Jesus. In fact, a lot of research points to Pontius Pilate as the...

I always find it ironic when a minority chooses to be prejudice against other minorities. If I started in on a bunch of anti-Deaf remarks, it wouldn't be tolerated. However, for you to say Jews are controlling the media and trying to take over the world is perfectly acceptable. Interesting.
