all very fine in the defense of science. still, i'd like to see some links or references to those studies.

i never claimed he would win. i'm merely spreading the word of ron paul and out to correct any misconceptions anyone has of him. if you can't contribute anything substantial, then stop posting in this thread. you're just wasting bandwidth.

links please? i wouldn't dismiss my observations just yet. i've been observing deaf students' use of english (around high school 'til college) for so many years. i see the same pattern. most of them just suck in english. no "studies" will change my mind on this. but i'm not dismissing that...

higher literacy rates in english in what area? compared to what/who? where are the studies that say this? then again, i'm afraid it might be biased. i say this because literally all deaf kids with deaf parents i've met plainly sucked in english. maybe i have a high standard of expectations...

proves there's good in muslims. just depends where you go.

it's easy to do anything really. how about backing your comments up with something substantive? nice try but no dice. btw denis, i don't mean to make you cry or anything but you're pretty cheap yourself. ;D

what a joke. you're using the same old rehashed arguments those conspiracists are using. those arguments have been proven wrong and refuted time and time again. however a lot of people agree that the official report from the government was inaccurate and opinions have claimed that the...

what's the point of this thread? i have several hard drive brands. pretty pointless, imo.

to those that deny he'd get the nod...

well, you're pretty much describing all candidates. candidates have to play the game in order to win. then they can set their real plans into action. however, when it comes to ron paul, just take a look at his track record. his words has stayed consistent to his record. anything he has said in...

oh man. i messed up. i wanted to refer to the book 1984, but i put down 1982. -_- well, if you get the reference, then yay. ;D no, i don't have a position in eugenics so you won't have much from me. but for those that cry "this is immoral!" should realize that with technology advancing, we...

hmm, my experience is with deaf students who go directly to deaf schools since childhood, not those who were mainstreamed and then enrolled into a deaf school. a few years ago, i saw that many deaf schools' curriculum were subpar compared to my high school's curriculum. i do not know if it has...

um, duh? we knew that since 1982, or is this news? while technology will continue to advance, our morals will decline as well. pick your battles, people.

and that was an epic fail. the one-size-fits-all approach does not work.

disclaimer: i am a grammar nazi. eight grade level is terrible. there is no reason for anyone to not reach past 12th grade when they're of college age. while deaf people may read enough, they don't write or communicate in pure english enough. they rely on asl as their preferred crutch and...

i keep asking because i want to know the reason. WHY are languages NOT INVENTED? even though they are NATURAL, WHY are they NOT INVENTED? thanks. :)

what's exactly circular in my reasoning? aren't languages invented all the time? don't infants invent sounds?

very true. thanks for your contribution, barbaro!

according to that criteria, lolcats seem to be fitting of a language. we speak lolcats all teh time.

well you're knowledgeable in the field of linguistics so i was hoping you'd correct my logic here. i mean, if everything's invented and evolved, then pretty much everything is a language in its own. right? right? of course not. ;D
