[QUOTE]Originally posted by Alshrim: [QB] I disagree. People don't need hearing to communication. People live entire lifetimes communicating using a language that you simply don't understand. If you can hear and go to China (assuming of course you are english speaking primarily), and you talk to a chinese person... they can hear you - but they do not understand you .. How is this different? Deaf and mute people simply speak a different language. I bet you if you knew sign language - you wouldn't have such a strong opinion! To suggest that deaf people are less than us hearing people, I think, is unfair. Ask most deaf people - and they can tell you that they can do as many things as you or me. It's just they do it differently. Sure -- they are limited in some ways.. but their other sense are twice ours are. I bet ya their powers of observation are far better than mine... Just because someone is deaf doesn't mean they are invalids! It's not like they are freaks. And it's not like they're wishing bad things on the kid.. they are obviously fullfilled in their life - and they are both deaf. I dunno... I don't think we should feel sorry for deaf poeple. Hell -- Beethoven was deaf -- look what he accomplished!! [/QB][/QUOTE]
