I wish there were subtitles. I'm interested in what he has to say, but I don't understand sign language ...

By God, this language is so very beautiful.

Wow, this was stereotyping hearing people.

Recently I went to the movie "The Hammer" and was astounded. All of the hearing people sat up in the front (they knew asl) so as not to be distracted by the signing going on behind them. It was my first Deaf Event so I sat in the back and every few seconds I would turn my head to see what the movement was off to my side. With the hearing community, yes, I think that we have a very strict attention system and can only focus on one thing at a time, especially when it involves hearing AND seeing.

Ha! So true. I do get nervous when I see deaf people chatting away while driving. I had a deaf guy in front of me swerving all around. Scary! But yea - this made me giggle.

I really hate it when I see comments about ASL videos not having closed captioning/subtitles - if you are that serious about learning about Deaf culture, you'll learn ASL - its the largest part of the culture.

@blkbltXemo I completely agree with you. In fact, I hate the label but it's one that is considered politically acceptable as if the word deaf is a nasty word.
