    So, uhh, I'm teaching myself ASL...

    Oh just to add, another thing I just realized I'm having trouble with is when I watch an example video, like a story, even though I'd recognize all the signs (done individually) I get COMPLETELY lost when watching Bill sign a story, like in this video Practice makes perfect though, and my speed...

    So, uhh, I'm teaching myself ASL...

    Ontario :D Well so far I'm on Lesson 3 (I basically started 2 days ago) and I'm slowly but surely getting use to it. What I've realized is I'm not really having trouble remembering the signs, just how to phrase them. For instance, the way to say "How many children do you have?" is by signing...

    Judge rules California's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional

    Well, no, that isn't the "issue" here...my point was whether someone is born gay, straight, or bisexual is irrelevant and shouldn't be used as a means to prove something moral or immoral. I'm glad you brought that up, considering it was the Roman Catholic church that belittled Galileo for no...

    Where did AIDS come from?

    AIDS is a human disease but that doesn't mean the catalyst into which it became a human disease didn't exist (albeit in another form) in other animals, like chimpanzees, who share 98% of our DNA Did you know that 2/3rds of HIV infections worldwide are attributed to heterosexual sex, 5-10% to...

    Show your support for "I Do" Gay Marriage.

    I'm actually curious as to WHY people wouldn't support gay marriage. It's funny (well actually, sad) how on the news you constantly hear the "we're protecting marriage!!!" argument when, in reality, the origins of marriage are unknown. In other words, it goes so far back that it PREDATES...

    Judge rules California's ban on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional

    Here are two "logical and acceptable" questions I have for you... 1) Is being born with a particular trait equivalent to being moral & ethical? In other words, if someone is born a cleptomaniac (that is, with an innate urge and desire to steal), does that make it right? & 2) There is no proof...

    Making small talk with hearing strangers

    I am hearing, and I also happen to be gay and will apply the same logic here to all your statements: "being Deaf is great", "parents shouldn't be sad for their deaf children", "I would never become hearing" into "being gay is great", "parents shouldn't be sad for their gay children", "I would...

    So, uhh, I'm teaching myself ASL...

    You can read my intro thread here The site I'm using as of now is this one by Dr. Bill Vicars and so far I'm having a ton of fun learning. Like I mentioned in my intro, I'm not an ASL student so it's not like I'm learning it because I have to, but rather because I want to.

    So what makes this intro different than ALL the rest???

    nothing :( BUT!!! I just wanted to introduce myself and say :wave: Just some background, I'm a college kid who is hearing...but I'm also -not- an ASL student. I just decided, at least as of now, to teach myself ASL because...well, I think it's a beautiful language to learn and thought I...
