This is the best CI blog I have ever read, and explains the situation clearly, and simply. They are just deaf people OK ?

Hey, thanks for the vlog. :)
I would love to meet with you! You seem cool.
I want to let u know that Deaf people do not judge you, or hate you. They really dont. They only hate the thing, CI. That is all... not the person. Please do keep that in your mind.
They know how threating CI is to the community because why do you need ASL if you have CI? Sign language is enough for you but not ASL. That can cause a new dying colony.
Yet, we do understand you wanting CI and all.. no problem... We will just not get CI and we will stick to it.
But hey, I admire you and think you are cool.
I am Deaf and proud of it! I would love to listen to some music but its alright,... Theres much to life than just music and talking to Mcdonald workers.

Thanks again,
Ali

This is one of the most heartfelt, honest and direct vlogs I've ever seen about the CI issue. You made your points well and expressed yourself very clearly. Others have made the same points, but you did it best.

Perfect Vlog!!! Funny thing to see that deafies complain hearing people are rude by ignoring them and by letting them out of the world. But deafies are not better either. They ignore and look down on people with CI and not many of them even welcome deafblind people. :o
