It wasn't much of a secret anyways. That video was fake anyways. There's a certain body feature on Lisa (my ex-wife) that did not appear in the video. Ask PowerOn...he knows now. :-) The original purpose of posting that video was that Lisa was calling out the other girls that she was the most...

Finally - we got a very reasonable response in this thread instead of immature unfriendly debates. My ideals evolve as the time goes by as I acquire more and more information. My beliefs are never the same. Yet, most of everyone here just came here and bashed me over some certain remarks I...

Lon Chaney, Sr is not deaf. Irrelevant of this discussion. I do welcome names of any Deaf child that grew up within pro-ASL Deaf family that ended up with excellent English writing skills before the middle ages (25 to 35 average ages) while never being exposed to SEE/PSE (or any other English...

Go and see a doctor - move hands in few motions while the interpreter speaks out a lot more words. It is just a picture becoming a thousand words scenario with the interpreter carrying your voice across the bridge. Simple. Rednecks say "ya'all" instead of "All of you". Got it?

My point is for a child to begin with SEE to develop their English skills early in their childhood. ASL does not fit in the bill to teach English writing or reading. How does an English teacher (or sign language interpreter in mainstream schools) say in ASL to a child to write down, "My red...

You begun with "a bit of SEE" even when it's PSE. Proved my point.

I am just pointing out the every day occurrences. Seriously - if I was at a corporate company in a board meeting and there were two choices of which interpreters I would want: ASL or SEE. I would choose SEE because I would want to pay attention to the board members' choices of vocabularies and...

Seriously I find it funny. If a person reads the English language and it says, "Hot dog" in the book - does that mean that it is an animal that is hot? There are no clues to determine whether if it is an animal or food. No - you use the rules of English to know whether if it's a canine or...

It's not rebundant...it's understandable. You just prefer the lazy way of communication which drops your intelligence level. Simple. Try telling that to a pirate or a redneck (with heavy southern accent) that English is better than their "ASL". :p

Back to my original statement - SEE is still the best sign language a child should start with. So far, I have not heard anything or seen evidence that disagrees. :p

Frankly - I am just disappointed that the high number of Deaf people that I have met has somewhat disappointing achievements that isn't really impressive enough to change the "ideology" of Deafness.

No - You are able to obtain knowledge independently because you already was a proficient user of English when you graduated from high school. It is because you're not one of those who has went through a life of using only ASL and went through a state sponsored deaf school the entire time...

"Forward thinking" would mean that it is a brain processing of you considering all different options or solutions when you are trying to solve a problem or achieve something. You would not just stop thinking of more options if you already found a solution that would achieve what is necessary...

ugh..kevbo..you're still here? Hello again shorty! sablescort - hey you still have that car? lol ...been a while since we met...I think 6 yrs ago?

Another quick questions: Those of you who are sharing opinions about SEE - are you an actual user of SEE? Or did you experience the usage of SEE? Or are you really guessing how SEE is used and viewed upon? If you used, been exposed to, or watched someone use SEE - how much amount of time did...
