Yes, but this is true of any culture, really. Native Americans complain about the same thing. Any culture that it's considered "cool" to be a part of, people start claiming they are a part of it based on blood quantum, when 9 times out of 10 they couldn't be any further from whatever they are...

I am currently living with my ex. We have an agreement - no dates at the house, ever. I own this house and he is living with me to help pay the bills. It is kind of awkward, but neither of us can afford to live on our own. So. Anyway it sucks to not be able to bring dates to my own house but it...

Welcome to Alldeaf, by the way. :)

I am somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 Irish. My grandma was an Irish orphan that came over here on a boat. My grandpa, who she married, was either 1/2 Irish or full Irish, I can't really remember which.

Hi, welcome. Are you deaf, too?

Welcome! I use ASL signs in English word order too. A lot of people call it PSE.

Welcome :)

Welcome :)

Welcome to alldeaf! Seems you are on the right track :) Thank you for being so accepting of your son's deafness. He will thank you in the long run too!

This looks pretty interesting. It'd be really cool if it could be expanded to subtitle movies that are currently in the theaters, too. I gotta admit though, reading subtitles on an external device in front of the movie or tv show is kind of annoying. But better than nothing I guess. There are...

I don't think there IS a device you can use once you've been implanted. If I understand it correctly, getting a CI pretty much ruins your ear for anything but another CI. Yes, CI's sound different, but with the right mapping you hear more with the CI than with a hearing aid, even if it's...

That was a pleasant surprise. I saw it mentioned during the birthday special, but I thought it was a joke, then I saw it came on for real, I was SO happy. It is the funniest show I've seen in a very long time. LOVED it.

I'm watching the Betty White 90th Birthday Special on NBC right now. So awesome! I'm not one of those people that is crazy about celebrities or anything. I keep it real, I realize I've never met them and don't know them in person or anything. But Betty White is still my hero, for a lot of...

True. Very wise words. :)

I am vegan and on food stamps. I also have to avoid gluten and soy. I manage it, by eating a lot of potatoes and rice and beans, with a little bit of whole veggies and other healthier food items. Not exactly as healthy as mostly whole veggies and such as it should be, but I do still consider...

That WOULD explain a lot. I didn't really think about that. I don't mind hearing people becoming interested in deaf issues and culture, for the record. What bothers me is when it's a fad - in other words, they only become interested in it for a time then move on without investing anything...
