Does Teri recommend this kind of "burning of blogs" and did...
Deaf and Philosophy Click on the link below to judge if this is how Teri would “burn” a blog, or if this was a method Der Sankt could have used? No rules are necessary and creativity is encouraged, I suppose! This is crazy! I couldn't resist with the various blogs talking about “fire” and “burning” within the deaf b/vlogsphere. [...]

Ideas for constitutional issues for Deafs??
Deaf and Philosophy I'm a college student. In the fall, I am taking 3 “constitution” related classes in preparation for law school, which I hope to enroll in a tier 1 program. I'm attending a summer prelaw program next month and it's a very competitive program so that will be a wonderful experience for me. I'm taking a class [...]

How many Bloggers/Vloggers are going to NAD-New Orleans?
Deaf and Philosophy I was wondering what percentage of the people in the blogosphere have decided that they are going to NAD? I remember many of the bloggers went last year in Palm Springs and probably will go to New Orleans. Should someone host a Blog/Vlog only gathering at NAD which will be only the people who contribute to [...]

How do *I* decide which vlog to watch?
Deaf and Philosophy I noticed the irony in all of this. It wasn't about how anyone read vlogs, it was how you (JD/Jared) decide which VLOG to read, and then everyone attacked you for it, instead of contributing their criteria. For me, Bob's vlog...it has text so I just skip the vlog and read the text which takes me [...]

Vlog irony?
Deaf and Philosophy Vlogs are great but I wish someone would come up with a “vlog” only website meaning main entries are done in VLOG, and all comments are done in video as well. It seems ironic that we do VLOGS but all the comments are done in english. Yes, I know it may be a quick and easy [...]

To Gallaudet students..
Deaf and Philosophy If you are unable to understand your teacher's sign language, you should consider going to the ADA coordinator and say that you have no access to education in the classroom because you are not able to understand the teacher. If a professor does not sign fluently, then you should ask for an interpreter, especially if [...]

Deafs in the military? issues of benefits.
Deaf and Philosophy [link]  Shane wrote this blog. I was going to address a similar issue and thought this was the perfect time to mention it. Deaf people cannot enlist in the military because we cannot hear. What most people do not realize is, just how good the benefits are in the long run. There's the G.I. bill in [...]

Thank an educator lately? (and how oralism can be bad)
Deaf and Philosophy I hope I am not the only one, but I cannot think of whom to thank for my education from K-12, except my parents.  I grew up oral and never learned sign language until I went to college. I am classified as someone with a profound hearing loss, yet I was prodded to wear auditory aids the entire time, [...]

Jane?s obsession in destroying Deaf culture.
Deaf and Philosophy MishaZena was kind enough to post Jane's interview with ASHA.  (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) ASHA's mission statement is:  ”The mission of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association is to promote the interests of and provide the highest quality services for professionals in audiology, speech-language pathology, and speech and hearing [...]

Does radio present problems of democratic legitimacy for...
Deaf and Philosophy One of the big concepts of a democracy is participation by the people. Democracies are judged by whether they are legitimate or not. For example, the limits on presidental term (22nd amendment) violates the legitimacy of democracy, because it limits the people's choices. If the people want the same president repeatedly, the people should be allowed [...]

Sound Philosophy? Is this philosophy of sounds sound?
Deaf and Philosophy [link] There are many online dictionaries/reference sites for philosophy. A lot of them will deal with senses, but I was curious about “sounds.” www.webster.com lists 35 entries for sound and another 5 for sound.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistemology - Take notice of the part how knowledge is acquired. Are deaf people [...]

Where are the deaf militants/absolutionist??
Deaf and Philosophy  After following closely the Gallaudet crisis from afar, through blogs and vlogs, I have noticed many strange things about how people deal with things. More specifically, I refer to how Jane F. took offense to the ?not deaf enough? issue and IJK?s op-ed on ?Deaf absolutists.?  First, I will talk about Jane. If she were so [...]

Values
Deaf and Philosophy [link]  I decided to look at yahoo questions posted concerning Deaf people to talk about my first topic. This question starts with opinions about two deaf parents, then narrows specifically to the issue of a hearing child?s ability to speak. Whether the child speaks or not, [...]
