Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up. :)

Yeah. They should record things and have them about 10 seconds behind or something. Plenty of time for subbing.

If there was a Theistic (like, the Christian God, or the Hindu form of Brahman (not Brahma)) form of Buddhism, I would be a Buddhist again quicker than lightening.

As the name says, do you think (non-Christians) think that Jesus could have been influenced by the Essenes and Buddhism? There is evidence that in Jesus' time, Buddhist preachers were in and around Israel and Canaan. Do some research into it, you might come up with some interesting theories.

Yes, the oldest religion still practiced is Hinduism, or, arguably "Shamanism"/Animism.

Does anyone want to see a place where we can make friends, like, advertising for penpals, langauge-learning friends, MSN friends, etc? I think it would be a good idea.

I don't have one. I'll probably end up with standard beige when the time finally comes to me getting one. I want to know, though; how do you get the different colours? Can you buy little 'coats' for them? :D

Does anyone else here hate live TV with a passion because the subs are always so delayed? I get bored of live TV really quickly, including the news.

I said I don't believe in Hell, not that I don't believe in Heaven. :) There are several different words for 'Hell' in the NT, usually Gehenna, which was a rubbish dump.

I don't think we should be learning other languages, only looking at languages which have had successful reforms, especially Germanic languages (English is a Germanic language) since they are closer to us and drawing from their successes. What has made the spelling reform successful?

We were having a conversation in sign language, and when they saw us, they tutted at us. Because, of course, only Deaf people sign, so they weren't expecting one of us to be able to hear the tut.

Hi there, I'm from England, too. There are a few websites on the net to learn American Sign Language. I take it you already know BSL because your name says 'Deaf'. :) Personally I want to learn both ASL and BSL, although I know more BSL at the moment, I do think ASL is going to become very...

Someone tutted at me and my wife last week for signing to each other. Ignorant pigs.

Whilst I do prefer proper English spelling to "skwl" and "skool" and stuff, I do think English is in dire need of a spelling reform, but not an extreme one where we make the language 100% phonetic or something, because basically, that won't work. Instead we should be attempting to follow the...

Congrats!!! :)

Could I be called a 'Deaf wannabe'? I'm hard of hearing but my ears constantly hurt from various sounds which I can hear. It's something I've had to put up with since childhood: constant ear pain. When I was younger I was sensitive to sounds because they would cause a lot of pain. Now I...

I'm not scared or alarmed about something I believe is only metaphor. :)

I don't have a problem with Christianity, but it's just not for me, I'm too...different, you know? I can't be a Christian and be happy within it because I hold different views.

Most parts. The Torah especially, and I Hell. I don't believe in Hell.

How many people are unhappy with the religion they are (or were) part of, and are searching for one? I used to be Christian, but I no longer am because my beliefs are so different to it. I hold Jesus in high regards and still believe in God, but I don't agree with most parts of Christianity...
