I just see no need for me to say anything about that. While yes, I was a sysop and a zTech, but nothing more... *shrugs* I forgot alot of things Like how I found ACF, what do I do for hobbies, and so on...

More questions:


So does being deaf allow you to score more easily?

Does your older brother give you grief? (sibling rivalry style grief)


I bet being deaf would be a marriage saver!! Cuts down on nagging a lot.

*hand singles for a sammich*

*turn around and play WoW*

Score more easily?? I hvae no idea, lol

Older brother giving me grief... Not really... We're more close to each other now than we were in the past... Mostly cuz we both have moved on with our lives and are older...

I want more!!!


I know there are some people out there that's like "Eh, will he take offense if I ask this or that?"


Honestly, I don't take offense to anything becuz I will be educating you about Deaf people.

Ok here's one I really hope doesn't offend you.


If you couldn't tell already, i'm somewhat active within the Deaf community (near-fluence in ASL as well), and one thing I didn't understand (probably because i was born hearing) is that they see being Deaf as a cultural thing rather than a disability.


My question is that in response to that, I understand it would be something in which to overcome and thus become empowered, but how (in your opinion) would that be a *cultural* thing? I would think that our (American (limited)) acceptance of things would be a protagonist in the formation of a subculture (sounds bad, but its true), which would have morphed it from a disability to a greater euphemism of "hurdle to empower one's self" to a then greater euphemism of "we are a culture".. but I still (not refuse) don't see it as a seperate culture as something regional/ethical. I was hoping that you would be able to shed light on that concept. Please don't take my ignorance of it as intolerance.

I've always heard people missing one sense have extra sensory other senses to compensate.


I bet you have awesome orgasms then.

I could ask questions all day long!


Do you get handicap parking spaces?


How do you experience music?


How protective are you of your eyes?
