Does every topic have to turn into a topic on education??? :giggle: just joking.. For the defense of hearing people.. most hearing people have very little interaction with deafies.. I would take a guess that the average heariqueng person can count on one hand the number of times they have...

not that I condone the use of the word "fag" .. but I think that after raising in excess of $1.3 billion dollars for the MDA .. I think he deserves just a BIT of slack.. anyone else agree with that? disagree?

I really do not want to get into a debate over the validity of Forex other than to say its a zero-sum game.. the world bank sets pricing to keep trade on an even keel.. but you can go on and on about problems with currency in general.. in my opinion.. its just too many variables .. stocks can be...

Its a shame true role models like Steve Irwin do not get thrust into the spotlight by the same margin that some socially, and morally inept sports athletes do.. I do miss that show.. The funniest one I saw was where he was off on the side of a highway next to a metal railing picking up black...

Good Luck! I started last week.. hopefully you will be able to get back into the school mentality fairly quick!.. I am still doing 5+ hour study nights just to catch up on what was being taught that day.. (10 years since going to school last)

FOREX - blah.. to many variables.. to much mis-information.. to many scams.. Short-Term investments - stocks (high risk), short term CD's & Bonds (low risk) Long-Term Investments - Mutual funds (practically no risk) when I say practically no risk.. depending on the legnth of time you...

Please.. Enlighten me on this.. I'm at a loss Pek1, good post..

So, you are saying that oralists as a majority are, as you so eloquently put it "Iran Contra moderate" or are you just lumping ALL oralists in this catagory just for the sake of bashing oralism? I think you hit the nail on the head.. There ARE extreme Deafies.. just as there are extreme...

Hello Pot, meet Kettle!

Jillo, I was just responding to her post in the first part of my post I was talking about the population at large. Not just deaf persons. The statement was a generalized statement. Using ASL as a "language" verses Tagalog as a "language" I did this to point at the reasoning behind...

Well Shel90, the fact is, most people in the U.S. DO NOT know sign language..They know English. If someone wants to raise a child with only the understanding of ASL, and no oral language skill, far be it from me to say if it is right or wrong. But, why would someone intentionally ignore the...

?? I find that statement almost insulting..

Huh?

Things like this happen all the time.. do not feel that people are singling you out because you are deaf.. there are alot of rude people in the world... everyone need to just accept that fact.. you can either ignore them.. be polite to them.. or act like them..

Oralism does have its advantages.. I can talk while eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.. although I would get jelly.. or peanut butter.. or maybe even both all over my mouth if I cued too.. hmm.. its almost as if they both have their disadvantages.. Maybe the US should change the...

I do not know if this has been mentioned before, but there are a lot of things you can do to your laptop to increase the battery life on it. I have a Sony VAIO SZ series which at the moment gets about 5+ hours on battery if managed properly. The best way to accomplish more savings is by...

What fight is that?

While I have seen and been in situations like you all have mentioned in this thread.. I think that more times than not I have been in situations where people are polite rather than rude.. You would be surprised how many hearing people have never been in social contact with a deaf person...

I have not done much translating of songs.. but why use SINCE in place of "Thus far"? Original Lyric T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far... and Grace will lead us home. The writer is telling the listener that Grace has kept them safe thus (or SO) far, and Grace will lead them...
