Also remember that this is about 70-90% of European Jewry, while with the other groups they did not face the same severity of potential extinction.

I honestly feel, people recommend the CI not out of audist views but sincerity. I would not be able to be where I am today if it weren't for the CI. I would not benefit from most online lectures on math if I couldn't here. Nor would I be able to be a public speaker, and having interpreters is...

hyped up!!

I have to agree with you here, but isn't society as a whole much more tolerant than that? Most deaf oralies enjoy being part of both worlds, such as GRENDELQ's daughter who does ASL and speaks, (a picture of her AND sheila022 is just dashing!!)

I mentioned somewhere else I think, because I have waardenburg syndrome, so deafness is here to stay in the genes, :D

Most European jews are quite white, albeit they may be brunette as opposed to typical Blonde. Holland does have many middle eastern jews though, because during the Spanish Inquisition many "sephardim" left Spain and Portugal (many jews went there first from spain) and finally came to Amsterdam.

The deafness actually comes from my father's side, so no European Deaf relatives, other than my folks becoming elderly.

I am sorry to hear your losses as well, my point had nothing to do with the jewish aspect, but that was why they were persecuted. The title of this thread is so silly when it discusses the "challenge ahead of us to avoid becoming hearing" and it's rather insulting when there are real problems...

that's just disgusting.

I agree, it's important not to hide it...however, I don't see it as a big deal.Just like i don't wake up every morning thinking, I'm white, I'm dutch, I must show the world... I just don't...I'm deaf, and that's about it?

Is it so important to promote deafness? Overal I feel we have it the easiest in regards to disabilities, and ASL is cool, however I know I'd get a blank stare and nothing to eat if I did that. the same is true if I spoke english in many areas here....I need to speak spanish since there are...

Huh? I mean....heck, most normal boys (all of the ones with at least one arm) watch porn without sound, :D what is music cool anyways?

I am 100% for deaf pride, and tolerance of it, and I have friends with learning disability, but as the phrase implies, it's a disability. I made that analogy that people would agree it's silly to just try emulate a certain group to show you support/appreciate them. My friends do not need to act...

Such as hot asian babe in MIT like Sheila022??? :hmm:

Errr, I love the superiority of the deaf culture? I mean...I'm deaf, my kids won't necessarily be deaf, you do realize you are losing a 5th sense, which isn't a big deal, but it's not exactly a desirable element. It would be like saying, let's all become learning disabled and economically...

As the family member of Holocaust survivors the moronism of this conspiracy thread just made my day, LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

It's very intuitive to see, for example 6^3=216 6^2=36, 6^1=6, and as you see why keep dividing by 6, 6^0=1 6^-1=1/6 6^-2=1/36 etc... also, 6^n times 6^m=6^(m+n) right? so 6^n*6^0=6^(n+0)=6^n, and this we see that 6^0 must be 1, and this argument is true all numbers (since my proof...

stsaphire got it right, :)

I sincerely think you'd benefit greatly from khan academy, which is such an amazing organization and they manually entered subtitles, so you have high quality subtitled (I prefer the youtube version of CC) Khan Academy

that's close, it's 10 in binary,
