I'm not sure we're talking about the same things.

Ok, only because it's not been brought up a few times, but I have to mention the page on 9/11 that's on that site. The World Trade Center Demolition and the So-Called War on Terrorism Obviously this is way more "conspiracy-theory"-ish than I would like, but it does actually cover a lot of...

Yeah, but at the same time, the girl in the first story is... 24-25? And the second one is 21. Still just makes me want to smack them upside the head. ;)

I have to say, it amazes me sometimes how dumb people can be. I mean, I've only dated girls since I was 16, but if I was dating a guy, I know I would take every precaution not to get pregnant. I went to a really good undergraduate school, with some really smart girls, and it's amazing how many...

All the professors that I know of at my school are deaf, except for one CODA, I think. My gf's professor is also deaf. And as for deaf events, go go go! I went to my first event my first month of ASL 1, and I'm so glad I did. You learn so much more just throwing yourself in there. There's...

I'm living in Boston now, and haven't seen anyone sign MA that way yet. I see "MA" a lot, and some do "mass" same way you can sign "conn" for CT. I feel like that version would get me confused with the signs for italy and japan... But I'm still learning, so I could also be wrong. :)

I'll agree with you that newspapers make mistakes. Everyone does. But the examples you are giving are not examples of journalists being biased. And even though that does happen too, I think that the last sentence of your post is the most important. There are standards that journalists are held...

One of the things that I didn't see clearly stated in the article (to be fair, I only skimmed over it), is if he was living in the US illegally or not. It said he was a Mexican national, so does that mean he was an illegal immigrant? Personally, I think that foreigners or immigrants, people who...

Yup, but it's a great quote. ;)

Thanks for the link, Hear Again. I haven't met any deafblind people yet, but I feel a little more prepared now, if I do. :)

I don't know if this counts as a "mistake", but for some reason I suck as fingerspelling my gf's name. She doesn't have a sign name yet, and my friends keep laughing at me because every time I try to mention her in a sentence they always have to stop me and figure out what I'm talking about...

:laugh2: Holy crap! My courses are in the 600's and 700's. How long have I been in school???? :shock:

See, I think this is what it really comes down to. Bloggers offer commentaries. They have to get the news somewhere to begin with, and that usually means a newspaper or news show of some kind. The thing is, newspapers are supposed to present the news impartially (and obviously some of them...

I think it depends on each person, but no matter who you are, when you know, you'll know. You won't need someone else to tell you, and I don't think there's a list of things that every single person can say "Yup, got all those, must be love." All I can say is that, to me, if you have to ask...

Since everyone seems to have already said "be yourself", I'll add a few more. I think the most helpful would be to ask your bf about his relationship with his parents, and go off that. I have a really hard time with my gf's parents because she has such a different relationship with them than I...

It's interesting, because this is exactly why I don't like statistics. The numbers might not lie, but numbers by themselves have no meaning. If you just put: 50. It doesn't mean anything. Even: 50%. Of what? Take the first statement, 50% of californians polled disapproved..... It's technically...

I like to quote the musical "Jekyll and Hyde" on situations like these. "There are preachers who kill, There are killers who preach, There are teachers who lie, There are liars who teach." As far as I'm concerned, newspapers are more reliable. Granted, there are some journalists and some...

So did my mom, the result was my brother. :laugh2: It's probably a lot funnier if you know my mom. She was like, the perfect child, until she had to show up one day, 19 and pregnant. (They were engaged, but it still makes me laugh that at one time my mom was an unwed, pregnant teenager). :giggle:

I hope you don't think I was mocking, it really was just a joke. I would never try to make any claims about how "healthy" virginity vs. sexual activity is, there are just too many factors. I do think that abstinence only education is an awful idea. It almost never works, and usually just creates...

I hope my kids aren't virgins forever. :shock: I wouldn't wish that on anyone. ;) :giggle:
