misuderstood joke what I meant as joke was comparing dogs learning sign to oralism :ily:

Dog's learning sign WARNING: THIS IS A JOKE Dogs should not learn sign! They should be taught to bark normally and read lips! Dog should get a CI! Barkism is better! Now when my friends tell me they can't learn sign I'll tell them "hey, my DOG can learn sign".

Teaching a dog sign One time when I was picking out a sign dictionary, I found a someone there looking for one too. I asked the, why they where learning sign... they said "we have a deaf dog". I almost thought it was a joke, but she was serious. The dog had learned "Sit" and "stay" so...

CI compared to???? If CI only adds to your sensing skills, rather than changing them. How can anyone believe it will change Deaf culture? If someone receiving a CI, stops signing and becomes more oral. Is this the fault of the CI or the choice of the individual? It's as if you are...

Bowling leage I did have a good time meeting new people, but the league was not for casual bowlers, they are meeting once a week for many games of bowling. My ASL was, of course, much slower than anyone else's there, but I found I could communicate, but I just didn't feel I could commit the...

Maybe you could add to my list. I started a list on another site of ASL misconceptions. If you'd like to add to it the link is here. http://www.signlanguage.org/bulletin/forum/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=5&TopicID=181&PagePosition=1

people are stupid don't forget that we live in a world where some people think you must talk loudly to the blind, and that deaf people can't read. Many people make stupid assumptions, like writing a note to someone who is blind, or calling a deaf man who has asked to be woken up at a hotel...

Thanks for the info Thanks! I'm going to try to make it to bowling tomorrow! -John

I made what? I made SENSE!... OH something is terribly WRONG then :-)

I'm not sure I believe in god. .. but maybe if someone could explain who the heck Cain married.

ASL Doom Has anyone noticed the details of the hands in Doom3? Someone needs to make a SIGNED version. And subtitles in a video game is SUPER Easy.. Most adventure games used to have them for computers that didn't have sound cards. I'm sure if you write ID, they can patch it...

Tingo? My wildest guess is that TINGO is BINGO minus a B (due to looking like a 4?) Thanks for the info, but I'm very new to Austin so if you have any exact addresses or web sites, it would help. Thanks! John

So what happned to sunflower? Posted, asked for response, but doesn't seem to be here anymore!

A forum by any other name Would this really be a web forum if we DIDN'T go off topic :-) Seriously.. I think we dove into ASL while explaining why things that are "different" scare people. Some deaf people are scared of CI, and some hearies are (ridiculously) scared of ASL. Of course...

Implying? Imply? I don't think I implied anything, I was pretty straightforward. The picture was one of more money blowing up than I make in a week. I'm not sure that my way ISN'T also an artistic way of looking at it. I think what you me is you where looking that them aesthetically...

I wish I could be more impressed Seeing military waste is hard. That one "bullet" probably costs as much as a weeks wage for me. For each one they didn't fire they could feed a family for a week. (but yes.. awesome picture)

God Bless the Indians I wonder what native americans would think of this thread especially when the ARRIVING Americans killed them for not converting. BTW what's the sign for Atheist?

Intimidated parents It may be hard to explain the "intimidation" but it goes something like this. When you are young and in school, learning new thinks like ASL is fun, easy to incorporate into your life (time for learning it). Whereas with many adults, they are set in their ways and too...

Hearies are stubborn too I think the reverse situation that I've seen is parent who don't allow their kids to use ASL because it intimidates them.

A pure hearie opinion I've read about CI for a long time and there are arguments against it that I don't understand. To me, TV has done a lot to ruin the idea of reading or chatting. So in that regard I can understand how someone can feel that CI can "ruin" Deaf culture. Also, sometimes...
