Sound and Fury was a great documentary.

I assume you don't know anything about deaf people..

You think they can't live as good/easily than us because "they can't hear a fire alarm, screeching car, crying baby"?

Inform you first, then talk because maybe they are deaf but there's still a lot of things they can "hear", feel, and see (and better than hearing people).

I have been raised by deaf parents and I assure I NEVER have been in danger because of that

They brought me very much from their culture, making who I am today.

@noulmiit: thanks. No I am not a Coda, just educated. I do not hold Audist views.

Waouw, that was powerful! :)

Thank you! You said all I wanted to say, and better!

Are u a CODA?

...never in your care. My hope would be that every Deaf child gets ASL

From day one and exposed to Deaf adults and Deaf culture immediately. That is their only hope to become successful, independent, confident adults.

[ericas46]

...Deaf culture through Deaf schools, etc. are exceedingly better in reading and writing English and are linguistically superior in both languages: ASL and English. They are truly bilingual and are socially appropriate, and become analytical thinking adults, equal to hearing peers. Your audist views are despicable and archaic. You view deafness as something missing, yet those who were born Deaf never heard, so they aren't "missing" what they never had. I, too pray a Deaf child is never in your

...their Deaf child so desperately needs from 0-5 to acquire a native fluency in ANY language. CI's do not provide spoken language naturally and therefore denying ASL to a Deaf child is neglect at best and child abuse at worst. CI or not, ASL is not only necessary but essential for the child's emotional, social, and cognitive development. Studies have shown that Deaf children who have Deaf parents or are from 5% of the hearing parents who sign to them from day one and expose them to Deaf cultur

[ericas46]

@goodgirlkay, CI's are not a cure for deafness! How dare hearing parents force a natural, God-created Deaf child to be "fixed" with a hunk of metal in their head and make the child do all the work of years and years of auditory training and speech training in the hopes that the 50/50 chance that child may function as a "hearing" person. And all this because the 90% of hearing parents with Deaf children are too lazy to do the work of learning the very beautiful sign language that their Deaf chil

@goodgirlkay They are not however mentally or emotionally any less than everyone else. They are perfectly able to decide for themselves whether or not this is what's best for them. Believe it or not, CI's are major surgery with risks and is considered an elective surgery. I feel it's immoral to force a child to go through a serious elective surgery without their input even though they can function just fine without their hearing.

@rbsadler You can use all the pc terms you want, but the basic reality is that deaf people cannot hear sound, that is by definition a disability. They cannot hear the sound of a fire alarm, they cannot hear the sound of a screeching car, or a crying baby. I don't mean to be mean, but they are not physically equal to hearing persons. They are at a disadvantage. I think it is completely immoral, bordering on evil, to deny a child the ability to hear, so that you can pat yourself on the back.
