Excellent topic -- enabling often goes hand in hand with co-dependency. Read the other thread for more info. on that...

Hey Steel, get that woman to show you her O face. :lick:

I wonder if motivation, attitude, and perseverance were factors. I was the only hoh person in any of my schools so I can't really comment on the success or lack thereof when it comes to other oralized folks.

I'm not afraid of death itself, it's a part of life. What I am afraid of is the loss of control and/or suffering that often precedes death.

Why should they? The powers that be should only care about how U.S. personnel conduct themselves. Obviously we don't need to worry about how prisoners conduct themselves, they're prisoners, that's how they behave. In any case, I prefer the word "detainee" because that's a more fitting...

A few points I'd like to make... - The fraternity that this kid died in was unauthorized. As in, not legally sanctioned and recognized by the university. Universities usually make fraternal organizations adhere to some sort of established standard of conduct before allowing a fraternity or...

He (ravensteve) can't take a thread off-topic if we ignore his posts. I think that'll be my policy from now on based on the crackpot posts I've seen. If your child has a temper tantrum, kicking and screaming, the last thing you do is give them attention until their behavior improves, is that...

Steve, care to answer my question?

:wtf:

You may be right about that. Personally, I've never wanted to try functioning without amplification. I've done so well and come so far that trying to function without amplification would lower my quality of life immensely. I doubt it too. Health care is a racket, and a necessary one...

I am sad to see Justic O'Connor go. :( I'd like to see someone similar to O'Connor replace her. She hated being labeled but I would definitely call her a conservative moderate. She bucked the trend ... She was the 1st woman appointed to SCOTUS, she was the most pragmatic of the 9 judges...

Riddle me this, steve... What does being liberal/conservative have to do with denouncing retaliation by guards on prisoners?

7-11s in Michigan do not sell gas, but 7-11s in Utah do. I think it has to do with distribution networks more than anything.

I learned to read people's feelings through facial expression and body language. At first I had a very difficult time but I persisted and learned to the point that it became a "gut instinct." I only developed it through practice practice practice! People who can hear fine have difficulty...

Brian, I really like your thoughts on this! Well said!

Why do you get nervous when people talk to you? Everyone has a different reason. You didn't mention if you have HAs or CIs. Do you?

I assure you I'm not shy about putting my opinion out there. Yikes. It seems like you think there's some sort of widespread health care conspiracy?

What is an "AG Bell type?" I received assistance from AG Bell but to call myself an overachiever would be a slap in the face of true overachievers. I can't help but feel like you are stereotyping a bit.

Banjo, what is a "Deaf Militant?!" I admit my ignorance there. Jeff, great article and I share the same views as many others in this thread.
