  • JD, I viewed your vlog after directed from DeafRead and DVTV mentioned this as well.

    U know. Some people LIKE to continue to dissect the word "audism" beyond the simplication.  Some people like to expand the horizon more to garner more knowledge that was hidden in the crannies and nookies of audism. Some people may be satisified with just the simple definition you gave but for some, they wanted to dig more.

    I understand your frustration that the topic have carried around for so long.

  • Frustration? Not at all. I simply share my knowledge with you all. If you or others want to dissect the meaning of that word, suit yourself. I ain't gunna jump into that argument because it's pointless, imo.

  • Sure, I agree, JD. Some people just want to dig deeper and some just stay at the surface and jump to the next.

    How about "deafness", LOL, just poke it at you for fun, smile.

  • Heh. =)

  • Wow, glad to catch this! You went right in the bat. Great vlog!

    There has been more discussions about audism taking place lately. It involves any persons who practice audism by viewing that speaking and hearing are superior than those who use signs. Let it be that audism is published in the dictionary in 2010 and that there will be Deaf blog aggregators recognize audism like racism and sexism in the guidelines!

  • Amen! I am with you all the way, Barb!

  • Super ASL I love it!

  • I absolutely LOVED this... uh-mazing! You had me cracking up laughing a few times!! Keep 'em coming!!

  • I was just really distracted through the whole video because your shirt reminds me of the movie "The Punisher" haha. But onto the topic, I stand by with what you said!

  • I think this is great~ Some people just need the simplified version! You did a great job with this. You should do a one man show; You have good stage presence. =oD

  • OK..I am hearing. I am taking an ASL class right now and Audism is a hot topic. I am HONORED to have a deaf instructor and from where I sit, the deaf community ROCKS and I am an idiot! Superior my butt !!!!

  • I second that! I'm proud 200% purest deaf with ASL!!!

  • JD, thanks for the smile! Enjoyed your video very much. ;-)

  • @jdavis34 You are so amazing signing so clear and cheer us all up. Very lovely. You need go to an auditorium and explain to hearing people doesn't understand us deaf and require us wear the cochlear implants that I'm against. I'm very much glad that I'm born deaf easy ignore hearing people's complain our way. I tell the hearing person, 'Talk to God for your permission. I rather not. That's my normal life the way I'm born from.' right?

  • I FULLY agree with YOU!!!!!

  • zillion% agree with you, JD.
