The idea is communication, yes?????? So what's the difference if someone writes it on a board and gets a response or writes in a computer and gets a response? You don't like the analogy because it contradicts your feeling on the original position.

Thanks naisho, appreciate the welcome, I don't plan on staying though. I suppose my mistake here was posting my opinion, because if it doesn't agree with the masses, you're simply a troll. I just hope the next time someone is rude to you, you may get a taste of the same medicine you support...

By the way, try this... Go on any other forum and post that situation verbatim. I guarantee 99% of people will see the bilingual guest was rude, but people here don't see it that way.

Just for curiosities sake, how would you respond to my above example and being a waitress with the French patrons? Funny you ignored him inciting the personal attacks by asking me if I'm on medication. But that's okay I'm always wrong and you're always right... Well, at least one person...

They are completely unrelated, it's a question of manners, I don't need ASL to understand manners...rude is rude. That's like you telling me 1+1 is 2 and me disagreeing because you don't have a PhD in mathematics Right, coming from someone who supports Rush Limbaugh Your tinfoil hat is ready...

Listen...the only reason people are agreeing with you is because they think I have some sort of preconceived hatred towards the deaf community and that my argument went along the lines of "deaf people aren't smart enough to communicate so you should have interpreted for them" Change the...

oh noes i missed an apostrophe!!!!

That wasn't rude that was teaching me a life lesson I'll never forget, my apologies for trying to destroy this forum and it's culture with my irrational idea of debating on a forum Pot, meet kettle

Would you prefer I roll my eyes and snicker? Oh wait that wouldn't be rude, that'd be "teaching you an important life lesson". Right?

Are you, like, purposely ignoring what I said or are you just not intelligent enough to understand Keep telling yourself that. I suppose this is similar to Galileo being told he's stupid and silly for suggesting the Earth was round, while everyone in the Roman Catholic Church celebrated their...

I like how people's response to me is "go away", why, because of a disagreement? I can see why people agree with FJ....birds of a feather flock together

You're confusing me with someone else unfortunately, I can walk only on water :s yeah, like "why is she still talking to me?"

I was sent by God, and now I'm being nailed to a cross because I'm spreading the good word :)

LOL, ohhhh yes definitely. That 15 year old girl, who started off by writing "If you need anything let us know!" on the board is clearly a modern-day fascist with deep-rooted insecurities. When she asked whether FJ would interpret, what she was REALLY doing was showing her hatred towards the...

okay FJ you did nothing wrong, the whole reason people end up 'hating' you has nothing to do with you (because you're flawless) and everything to do with them. Good luck in life Well, I'm not angry (see how I responded to you). But it's funny, we're on a discussion board, we have...

IF ANYONE could quote me even REMOTELY implying that FJ had to interpret I will give you $100.00 That was NOT my problem with the situation, people are just hopping the bandwagon and jumping to conclusions.

I was responding to kokonut JOKINGLY Don't you get it????? I never said you had to take over...you keep trying to create this ridiculous straw-man and make it appear as if I think deaf people could not handle themselves. I said it was your childish attitude and response to the situation that...

Oh give me a break, you're being ridiculous. The employee wasn't trying to TAKE OVER, she asked if you'd interpret, it was your lame, childish attitude that you NEED to fix ASAP. Tell her "sorry, I'd love to, but the mother requested I not" - simple as that Manners 101 <- use it

Fix your attitude, you're a child in a grown woman's body. Learn how to deal with people like a normal, sane human being would. Again, it's not that you wouldn't interpret, it was your response/snickering/eye rolling that turns people off. NOOOO you were implying *I* go away and for...

oh no no no you're crazy, you see by having an English speaking person ask someone who's bilingual to help translate is a DISGRACE TO THE SPANISH COMMUNITY. It is INSULTING to think people can't communicate via other ways. The correct thing for the bilingual person to do is to ROLL their eyes...
