    Wrestling with Angels

    Believe it or not- or maybe it is easy to believe- this describes me, too. I think it definitely has to do with functioning more on the logic side than the emotion side of things. This has its good and bad sides. Others have noticed that I do not call people names even when I disagree with...

    Food For Thought For those who hate Obamacare so much

    Yep. I've been one of those people. Right now three of our adult children, including one of my married daughters plus her husband and both their children have no health care. And I still hate Obamacare, because I believe it is unconstitutional. My daughters also dislike ObamaCare, even...

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    Here's another thing about dealing with the general public, particularly from a position of minority. Just as it is human nature to sometimes be a jerk, it is human nature that we notice, absorb, remember, dwell on, the jerkiness more than routine civility. If I am out shopping with my...

    Food For Thought For those who hate Obamacare so much

    I hope they see that it is unconstitutional. Whether they do or do not, the Supreme Court has made unconstitutional rulings before. They aren't perfect.

    Trayvon Case Investigation

    the difference being that I am not acting like it is. I don't quote his version as thought it was a fact. It's merely evidence that there is more than one version and none of them has been proven and neither you nor I can possibly know which is which at this point. but you keep quoting...

    Trayvon Case Investigation

    that's jumping to quite a few conclusions which are not factually proven.

    How do you sign...

    :ty: This helps!! In fact, the different versions give me a glimmer, just a glimmer, a tantalizing glimmer, into the elusive mysteries of ASL grammar. Kellycat, I had a chance to ask why the last part of the verse wasn't even included. It was essentially an accident. She thought I added...

    Does being deaf/hoh make you a bad writer?

    Ouch. That was kind of unnecessary. From what I can understand, Travis is a sweetheart, a really, really, genuinely nice guy. From what I can understand, I think what Travis has to say is valuable, which is why I would really, really like to do better at understanding him better. I...

    Trayvon Case Investigation

    Of course they say that. That's posturing. It's required. It doesn't mean they are right and it doesn't mean they can prove their case in court. That's about as meaningful as his defense lawyer saying he's seen all the evidence and still believes Zimmerman is innocent. Dershowitz Blasts...

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    You have no basis for disagreement. These are not your experiences. You are not even a witness to the events. You are hearing about them third-hand and deciding you have enough evidence from your position as a reader of posts on a computer to determined that you know *more* about what another...

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    It's not his job to add something new to your thinking. Hearing people who are rude do target their rudeness toward the area that they are ignorant about, troubled about, irritated by, frustrated by, caught by surprise by - in short, the thing that is different. So of course the general...

    Annoying ignorant hearing people stories

    I understand what you are saying, and in part I agree with you. I have seen several comments about what 'hearies' think about 'deafies,' usually derogatory. As a hearing person outside of the deaf community I know that this is probably quite wrong. Most hearing people simply don't give the...

    Does being deaf/hoh make you a bad writer?

    You could be right about him picking on Travis. But I wasn't picking on Travis, and I really am uncertain sometimes what he means, and I would like to know for sure. I think it would help me with my struggle to grasp ASL grammar. I do think the problem is mostly mine and has to do with how I...

    15 People who did not know the Titanic was real

    That's a shame. The Titanic movie took a real life hero and turned him into a jerk. It was also a lie that third class passengers were barred from leaving- they were not barred, they were urged to safety but many of them ignorantly and stubbornly refused to leave their rooms because they...

    Romney Scares the Hell Out of Obama

    I've decided who I am not going to vote for, and that's either of the main two candidates.

    Does being deaf/hoh make you a bad writer?

    He's young. You did an excellent imitation of Dr. Phil, but I think Lucas might be frustrated because he really does want to know what Travis was saying.
