I guess so! Learn something new everyday! Haha!!

LOL actually I'm in my teens!! I guess in Minnesota it's more common! I'm actually surprised you guys haven't heard the term before. Don't know about other places, but around here it's considered "more polite" I guess you could say "Dontcha know?" xD

A black person

lol!! I consider myself very much not a racist. My friends come from all different ethnic groups. I just see people from both sides of it. Some hate colored people even if they are the nicest people in the world, where others wouldn't even consider not liking a colored person if they were...

Anyone ever think that we go too far the other direction on racism? On one side we have people who truly are racist and hate Obama for the sole reason that he is black. On the other side we have people who like Obama just because he is black (I know plenty of people who have this belief). I...

I use linux for my home servers and programming, but being a teenage kid, I am forced to use windows 7 for games. I'll admit I haven't tried WINE in awhile, but last time I did it was not a pretty experience xD In my opinion, they all have specific uses and some may work for some people...

I always wanted to hear about someone who raided deaf. Although not being able to hear vent, I almost think that they would fare better because I personally find vent very distracting. That sounds like a horrible guild, but I cannot say that this is uncommon. People like to pick on other...

I found this video very interesting as I have only heard the hearing perspective of it before. I know that deaf people are very proud of their deafness, but why can't a child have an opportunity in both worlds? I personally believe that if you do have a deaf child, you should put them in an...

I apologize, I did not realize the the debate of religion was discouraged here. I did not mean to offend anyone, I was just surprised that no one else had commented on their non-beliefs to the subject. Yes, that is what I meant by "non-religious." Thanks guys! Again, didn't mean to offend...

No.... Am I the only one who is non-religious here? :shock:

Haha, I so wish that I could live somewhere different. Last week it was upper 60's and this week we get an inch of snow!! Why can't the winter be done already?!

I am! though about 50 miles in the other direction from the TC as you xD

Usually around 6-7. I do have some friends though that eat closer to 9:30-10 and think I'm crazy for eating so early!

Couldn't agree more! I can see why they want to keep Spanish because we have plenty of Spanish speaking people around the United States. German on the otherhand.... There are probably as many (if not less) German speaking people as there are deaf people in the US. I'm actually doing that...

Hello! I just wanted to get some opinions on this. I go to a fairly small school in Minnesota (about 80 kids per grade) and we have three 2nd language classes, ASL, German, and Spanish. I'm not sure what the sudden change was, but over the past 2 years there has been an explosion of interest...

In small town Minnesota we have an ASL class and it is actually the most popular 2nd language class of them all (with Spanish and German as it's competition). It is by far my favorite class aswell as other peoples! I do think that we need to get it into mainstream high schools as it is fun and...

Just wanted to update that your suggestions are awesome! What I did is, I read alot, and so about every ten minutes I would fingerspell a paragraph. It was slow going at first (I made myself take it slow), but now after just 5 days of practicing, I'm tons better!! Quick question if I may, we...

One more question if I could. :) I understand in ASL that you always put the "wh" word at the end, so like "Where are you going?" would be "You going where?". My question is, can you do this with non-question sentences? Such as: "I know very little sign language" "Sign language I know very...

Lol, not that I'm aware of, but now I'm beginning to think that I just need to stretch my hand muscles a little bit xD After about a half hour of practicing, my fingers have loosened up and seem to be fingerspelling now without the cramping. Thanks for all the help! It's very much appreciated...
