Of course there are tons of things to do besides speak- but it seems that society as a whole expects verbal communication, and when they don't get that (especially in school as a child), things (seem to) get tougher socially and academically or economically. (and if you would like even more...

It tickles/warm- tingly. nothing to worry about- If you are allergic to lots of things you might ask them to give a syringe full first then wait to make sure you don't react- but reaction to the dye is very rare.

Some deaf children are failing because they have to pretend to not be deaf- this is the issue. Again, it's the only condition where 'normal' is to pretend to be without the condition... *Smh* No one would expect a blind person to read a ink-printed book... why are deaf -expected- to carry on...

Well many many hearing kids aren't at grade level either... ;)

Ok, true for Oppression - conceded, It doesn't have to be willing or known...just exist. I disagree with discriminate- w/o an initial impression (wrong impression) of the group the individual is from there is not discrimination. I can say NO to going out with a (something descriptor)...

One cannot discriminate w/o prejudice... Yes one can have both or just prejudice, but discrimination is acting on prejudice- ;)

Well yes and no- they are interrelated. To get anywhere we need your definitions of these words... As in my opinion and others' opinions, audism has all three traits. Prejudice- an uninformed opinion about a group based on one's personal but incomplete experiences either taught...

I enjoyed 'And the Band Played On', and ... rats what was the name of the other book... Well Kyo Freeman taught the class, he was awesome.

But I don't think anyone is arguing that point, that's why specific definitions were brought up. Nobody is going to argue that oppression is a device of the more powerful. (although an armed minority can oppress an unarmed majority) It would be like only looking at one definition of...

The problem is there are two (at least) views of audism 1) The hearing having a negative opinion of the deaf, based on ignorance and social pressure. 1a) a person who has a negative opinion about a group they are not a part of and cannot understand 1b) a person who can not tell one person...

Double standards ... um... bite. I know I missed... well a bunch... and not all of these are -technically- double standards... just flawed standards... Sex- Men should have lots of sex, women should stay 'pure'... Experimentation between men is wrong, but women is sexy... Sexually...

Lace itches horribly unless its that really nice stuff It tends to frey and look ugly if a person is not super careful with it. It stains easily It gives stupid patters for sunburns (not that I allow myself to burn anymore) Did I mention how itchy it is? It make me look like...

I'm a donor on my DL. They may only find a few useable things tho- *shrug*

I might be a great thief, and nobody can tell- it's still illegal... I might be great at (any illegal activity that does not cause direct harm to another person) and it's STILL illegal. I might choose to drive at 5 MPH over the speed limit, and otherwise follow all traffic laws... it's...

I specifically said I understand science progresses... (said so in the post you snipped) what isn't clear is why you choose those 'examples' it would have been far easier to take a drug that is now pulled off the market for side-effects or causing dependency... or harming fetus... or -whatever-...

1) I was/am a tom boy, all the neighborhood kids that were worth a darn were boys... I played with them whatever they were playing, had a huge collection of Micro Machines and Hot Wheels... Usually I stripped my dolls and used them in the tub... I played Sports: football, soccer, karate...

Missed out on term limits, either unlimit the Pres and put the same - rule on the Pres or establish Term limits for both the House and Senate

True and guides are not required to sit for much of anything, allowed to lie down if the handler stopped for more then 3 minutes... but CGC requires 'sit for pets'... she's a greyhound... really?!?!

I have timer that turn on and off lights, it is not set by a 'clock' it is set by increments of 15 minutes as a timer... (not very accurate that one, precise but not accurate) The time that the clock says is irrelevant to if a plant blooms... Chickens lay an egg about every 9-12 daylight...

True, but if that person never took the first hit- they never would have gotten addicted... the first hit was criminal, the others unfortunate and also criminal (I think caffeine addiction hurts too- ;) ever talked to a non-caffeinated person that's used to a heavy dose :shutter )
