How do you feel about the deaf culture? A lot of deaf people live in a little bubble where they never really interact with hearing people unless it is absolutely necessary. I understand that it could be difficult to interact with someone who doesn't know sign language, but they can sometimes take it very seriously...

Many will refuse to call it a disability, and will willingly forgo cochlear implants when given the opportunity, because they don't see it as a condition that needs to be "fixed". There are even disputes over whether children should be given the implants before they're old enough to decide on their own. The proponents argue that the brain's high amount of plasticity in early development will allow them to adapt better to the implants - The other side argues that it isn't something to be fixed, so they should wait until the child is old enough to decide for his or herself, even though it will mean lower compatibility with the implant due to the decreased brain plasticity.

It can even get to the point that deaf parents will wish their kid is deaf, because they have some sort of idea that being deaf gives them some amazing outlook on life that normal people don't have - They can even be downright condescending to hearing people.

I understand how important it is for everyone to have a group where they feel safe and included, but do you think that things like this actually help them? Or does it simply reinforce the stereotype that you addressed in your YouTube video?

They can't crave very much if they've just been gunned down en masse. I hate to say it, but I'm sure it'll happen sooner or later - they have a knack for pissing damned near everybody off.

I'm surprised they aren't banned in America. They're a blatant hate-group. Replace the word "fags" on their picket signs with "niggers" and they would be closed faster than a nun's legs at a bachelorette party. I'm sure that when future generations are learning about this time period in history class, they'll see pictures of the WBC protestors and think to themselves "Wow... People actually supported that?"

I do. I also dream in color though, and apparently a lot of people dream in black and white.
