Comments on: Missing a Sense Does Not Equate Loss of Common Sense http://www.deafdc.com/blog/guest-blogger/2008-10-08/missing-a-sense-%e2%89%a0-loss-of-common-sense/ Sun, 05 Jul 2009 03:51:14 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Sharvedh Kanaye http://www.deafdc.com/blog/guest-blogger/2008-10-08/missing-a-sense-%e2%89%a0-loss-of-common-sense/#comment-102076 Sharvedh Kanaye Sat, 11 Oct 2008 07:03:32 +0000 http://www.deafdc.com/blog/guest-blogger/2008-10-08/missing-a-sense-%e2%89%a0-loss-of-common-sense/#comment-102076 I think it is also common with the result of the world (I am now in Durban, South Africa and we also have the same problem). Deaf people always get side tracked by blind people partly given by the fact that Blind People can audibly talk. I recalled being engaged in classroom discussion with my Swedish classmates at Gallaudet. During one of the university courses in Sweden, there were a big debate and it was said that if hearing people in Sweden have a choice – they rather prefer to be blind than to be deaf stressing the importance of hearing and talking. I thought this was very interesting. I think it is also common with the result of the world (I am now in Durban, South Africa and we also have the same problem).

I wrote FIRST about this protest on my blog - NAD V. NFB protest few days ago before yours! This kind of protest will create piqueness among the general public to make them want to see the movie what the fuss is all about. I will see "Blindness" out of curiousity. I always hate blind people anyway because of their tax-free income and other past spoiled incentives at my former WVSD&B. The WVSDB faculty and state government always fawned over blind students and generally ignored deaf students most of the time. When I became the SBG president at WVSD. I forced the Lions Club to pay for the deaf students' ski execursion trip to be fair what the Lions Club always treat blind people much better than deaf students. The state of WV spent a lot of $$ on blind students' dormitory settings and other things like $300 artifical Easter egg with beeping sounds, etc. I never forgot about many WVSB students felt sorry for us, deaf students because we, deaf students could not possibly hear music. H*ll with blind people!

No blog is ever complete without its detractors. Adding captions is beneficial for *everybody* in the stadium, and well worth the risk of whatever stigma (if any) created through the lawsuit. That's just the way I see it. Now, I'd actually feel hurt if you rallied against the 49ers. Certainly, Paotie! No blog is ever complete without its detractors.

A master of being a victim.

“I am a victim because I am deaf and lack common sense.”

Poor Mr. Feldman.

He's been wanting captions at Qwest field for a long time. Hearing people will benefit from the captions, not just the deaf/Deaf. I don't get why they made such a fuss about it. If they would have simply complied with the law, then they wouldn't have been sued. More of us should sue more often. My hearing husband was pretty happy about the Redskins lawsuit.

I contacted Paul Schwartzman about the article he wrote (that I responded to in "Walls"). He got back to me about the blog, and I have to tell you I felt a sense of real accomplishment when he did. I think it's important to let the Washington Post writers see these reactions, not only regarding their own articles but to a variety of deafness-related articles that have been showing up in the Post as of late... because collectively I think these articles are starting to say something about the newspaper itself.
