I don't know I don't think deaf people are that interesting. Not deaf people in general, just being deaf is not like a huge conversation piece and it doesn't make you "cool"  or whatever.

Think about it. If you're a blind or deaf person with a good quality of life who's adapted to your difference, can you see how it might be irritating to be told that you're defective and need to be fixed? This isn't to defend the awful parents from the story that got posted but try and consider the perspective here.

Lareine posted:What I don't get about the Deaf community is some of them completely denying they are missing anything at all. Trying to convince themselves and others that hearing is totally lame. It's clearly sour grapes but if that's the case, does that mean congenitally blind people go around denying that they are at a disadvantage for not having sight? Given that they were never exposed to the concept of sight, do they act like they aren't missing anything at all, that seeing is overrated anyway? Clearly you're a hearing-abled bigot who has been influenced by Big Cochlear to abuse and take advantage of poor deaf people.

Who What Now posted:We've had sign language since the 19th century, have there actually been people institutionalized and punished for being deaf within the last hundred years? I can only speak for the context I know, but in New Zealand schools for the Deaf forbade the use of sign language until as late as the 70s. I'm sure there were similar patterns elsewhere. This isn't really the thread for an ongoing discussion of Deaf history and culture though so I'll shut up.

Do (22M) good guys really finish last? (21F) by DurtyHooperquote:I've always done whatever my girlfriend needed. Whether it be physically or emotionally. Talking about problems, voicing my opinion, taking her side in battles, buying whatever she wanted etc.. well recently her tires were low and needed a ride to school. My phone was on silent and I missed her call by 4 mins... I called her back asap and she said I was useless and got extremely mad (has father neglection issues) so when he wasn't there and I wasn't there she felt alone in this cold world. We talked about it and it blew over. Yesterday I missed her call by LITERALLY 1 minute... I called back and she kept forwarding my call. She said how can she be with me when I can't answer a phone and forgot about everything I've ever done for me. She broke up with me over text, deleted me off Facebook and Snapchat. Her mother has a form of cancer (she just found out). But to break up VIA TEXT because I didn't answer the phone call seems a bit extreme. I told her she was overreacting and that's when she blew up on me. I'm not abusive, I'm the most caring boyfriend. I truly love her therefore would do ANYTHING for her..... She told me to leave her a lone but I'm not the type to quit. We have dated for over a year and would talk about our future together. well maybe reddit gives him some good advice about how to get away & stay away from the crazy lady DurtyHooper posted:She doesn't TELL me to do things and i do it. I'll do it if I know it'll make her happy. Isn't that love? Being able to go out of your way to please someone else WITHOUT it being out of the way?. Everytime she would get mad I would always like to talk about it but she's the type to be alone when she's mad and shelter herself from everyone (even her mother). DurtyHooper posted:I guess I'll take it day by day. Either calling her at night and seeing how she feels or maybe shooting a quick text to meet in person....I need to let her "be mad" that's how she is. DurtyHooper posted:Exactly! I've never tried to control her or tell her what to do. Each individual has their own preferences and tendencies. I love her for who she is, even though she's a bitch at times. It will never change the fact that our souls are in sync. I will do my best to occupy my mind and wait for the right moment to contact her. Although time is going by slowly, do you think I should Call her today or wait another day? quote:[–]_xia [score hidden] 35 minutes ago nope he's hopeless

Jesus loving christ you make one joke about forcing red hot chili peppers on recovering deaf people and GBS argues about privilege for 300 pages. Anyway that mom needs to leave her son alone, sometimes your son doesn't like you as much as you like him. I don't like my mom as much as she likes me. poo poo happens.

I missed the deaf convo, but I have a cousin who is deaf and married a deaf dude and they are both deep into the deaf community and the poo poo I see them and other deafies post is hilarious/terrible. I'm not going to necessarily blame it on them being deaf, but they also all seem to be heavily into lifted trucks with insane stereo systems just so they can feel the bass, ATVs, side by sides and letting their children do stupid poo poo like driving said lifted trucks at the age of 6. One of them shamed me in very poor grammar because I said happy birthday to my cousin and had a Fox hat on in my profile picture, he asked if I even ATV or ride in the desert and called me a poser. gently caress off, Deafy McDeafferson, I raced motocross for 10 years and my ears work, get hosed. Thank you for reading, and now content I [24 M] went on a first date that went well until I asked if I could kiss her quote:A couple nights ago I went on my only date so far this year with a girl I met at a party a few days ago.

"Try again later," is perfectly clear. It means "tonguefuck my tonsils in the men's restroom in an hour." It's like goons have never been around women before.  E: that's what I always did to my Magic 8-ball , anyways.
