true.. you did not.. but when you simply state "hearing people" it is much like saying "I hate Florida" that would assume I hate everything located inside of Florida as well.. but.. in reality.. I just hate the tourist seasons.. and traffic.. ohh and straight roads! I think literacy rates...

Ok.. Ill admit it.. I have the occasional pack a day ... But it's not like I'm training for the olympics! I did give up drinking beer though.. WAY to many calories! but the whiskey's really putting a hurting on me! seriously though.. I have thought about quitting.. but I realized.. I enjoy...

well web, it may not be that simple.. not to mention how long it will take to perfect such a technique.. there is the issue that pre-lingual deafened individuals have with CI.. that is the "atrophy" of the auditory nerve and hearing/speech center of the brain, depending on severity of hearing...

Dubba, only vetoed them due to the ethical concerns with using human embryos for harvesting stem cells. There are other methods to harvesting stem cells though at the moment embryos are the most effective. Just because a democrat may or may not show up in the white house does not mean that...

I don't know.. who ARE they attempting to serve? Does it matter? If a neighbor shows up at your house..and offers you some cheese that he bought as a gift for you while he was in France.. But he did not realize you were lactose intolarent.. would you refuse the gift and tell him that he hurt...

I would like to keep as on topic as possible.. If you can answer the questions make a few comments that would be great.. I would like to compile the responses and try to come up with an understanding of what peoples views and thoughts are about these subjects. 1.) What do you think, if any...

Sounds like a horrible program ran by obtuse individuals.. but I do not believe that perticular program is any indication of such a broad and encompassing statement as Jillio said. There are good leaders..and bad.. And as I have stated before.. if you have a good idea for whatever may be.. I...

You think that? honestly? Please provide me with some information to back up the assumption that "hearing professionals" do not listen to deaf individuals, if possible please use some of the ideas you originally stated. (so you don't have to scroll back) Did you consult the deaf...

What ABOUT what the deaf think they need? Are you saying that only deaf individuals can contribute to the "Deaf community"? If a person regardless of there hearing status.. colour.. race..or whatever, has something positive "even in their mind" to contribute.. shouldn't we at least take the time...

Hello swiss bank account!!

I think the professor may have been referring to a class to teach people about the nuances of phonetics.. I do not think you would have been graded on your speaking ability.. Otherwise that school would have the ACLU on them so fast it would make their head spin.. SJCsue, .. if you want to go...

Its not radiation like you would like (xray emissions, nuclear waste and such) They are using the word radiation as emission of light in the infrared portion of the spectrum.. much like what you would see on thermographic imaging.. or what is used with remote controls..

I had one of those odd moments when I went to a doc in the box after a wreck on my bike.. one of the questions said..and I quote! "do you sleep with more then two pillows"? ???
