Anonymous about ACTA for Deaf People (ASL video)

Deaf Issues,Deaf movies,Deaf Rights,World video,World`s Sign Languages 24 January 2012 | 0 Comments

Hello everyone,

here is very important thing.

At the moment, the almost entire world lives about ACTA, SOPA and PIPA. But ACTA is the most noticeable thing we’re seeing around.

If some countries pass this pact – your Internet will be very restricted. Your Internet supplier will be have right to keep under surveillance everything what you do in your laptop/PC/mobile phone. Total control !!

The Anonymous Man is telling very interesting stuffs, about Illuminati and New World Order.

Say NO to ACTA. Say NO to CONTROL YOURSELF.

You have right to think what you want. You have right to life like you want.

Just YOU, not your government.

Deaf people in American history

Deaf Issues 21 January 2012 | 0 Comments

I think that you know some American website about deaf people. And I found something on one of them and I think this is worth of see.

Not every country in the world has so rich history about deaf people to boast as America (especially North America).

On this site http://deafpeople.com/history/index.html you will see some famous deaf people.They were good in so many fields – sports,  teaching, politics, even they were so desperate to realize their dreams…

We need to follow theirs example and don’t be afraid of what we would like to do in our life.

Take your life and start to realize your dreams!

Deaf woman hesistates between Islamic and Catholic religion

Deaf people know each other all over the world – we are so different !! Mix of cultures and religious.

What if you fall in love with someone who isn’t in the same faith like yours? What if you are Catholic and your boyfriend is Muslim? And you do love him so much? Are you eager and ready to convert from your religion to his?

Why not think about it and find out what other people do in this case?

This story I attached below is about deaf English woman, who met Muslim boyfriend. But she is atheist and she wanna try which religion is good for her.

Video has two parts.

Deaf and dumb polish girl happy married Pakistani man

Pakistani newspapers widely wrote about deaf wedding. Polish girl married Pakistani 24 years old men, but why everywhere this polish woman is called also dumb? Seriously? She is deaf not dumb!!!

Anyway, my congratulation to Hamna and Jibran!

Wedding was held in Hyderabad on 31st December, 2011 which was attended by close relatives, friends and large number of media. The couple met on the internet two years ago and liked each other and decided to marry.

The polish girl converted her religion into Islam before marriage and her name was changed from Anna to Hamna.
While talking to media through mediator the couple said that they are very happy and this day is very big for their life.

Gay, lesbian, bi or trans? Do you accept them?

Deaf Issues,Deaf movies,Health,World video 3 January 2012 | 0 Comments

Gay, lesbian, bi or trans? Do you accept them?

Strange people are around us. You don’t know what are they like. Blind? Gay? Deaf? Divorced? With a cancer? But you can be sure of one thing – they all need to love and be loved. Doesn’t matter who they love and by who…

Sexism is very similar to rape culture, is base of it.

This video starts with common myths and stereotypes about homosexuality and homophobia. And they mention that also deaf people have rights to love in their way.

Very educative…

Deaf in the military??? Seriously?

Deaf in the military??? Seriously?

Deaf people can do everything, you all know that, right?

Keith Nolan has found his life way to serve in American Navy Army. But, in the past, there were too many obstacles  like “You cannot join us, because you are DEAF”. He didn’t give up. Right now, he is Cadet Private and he’s waiting to pass 3rd level (medicine exam). He needs your help to change of Army policy that would get other deaf people join to Army.

During lecture he’s telling about other deaf soldiers, especially Deaf Israeli Soldiers – there are many of them !!! Anywhere in the world, just in Israel !!

You simply must watch it !

Deaf Space – what is this?

Hello there,

one of my friend sent me something interesting. Something new in our Deaf Culture. Something called “Deaf Space”.

This video was recorded in Spring 2010, but seriously, I never seen this concept.

Because, how come they put Architecture inside Deaf Culture?? What does it to have with Deaf people?

Oh, there are some phrases like Visual Language (round tables, group meets in circle, etc), which are very useful for hearing people, too!

Really?

Watch this video and find out how change of architecure could help in our everyday communication.

Books about Deafness

Deaf Issues 6 December 2011 | 0 Comments

We all see, that there is rising number of deaf students in Universities.  They learn for themselves, also they spread for another people the knowing about Deaf Culture and sign language.

In turn, hearing people, especially who want to be intepreters or just want to know deaf people better, they start to read any books about Deaf Culture or learn any sign languages.

Also you can to get those books, and know yourself better, improve your sign language or just understand other deaf people who were bringing up in different community (hearing/deaf family, public/special schools).

I recommend these online bookstores:

- http://www.forestbooks.com/ – here mostly books and CD are from UK, but they deliver for all world, for me – the biggest and the best bookstore about deaf in all varietes

- http://www.deaflibrary.org/ – the biggest deaf library

You could find everything you need to find.

Deaf is dating with…?

Deaf Issues 6 December 2011 | 0 Comments

Everybody wants to love and be loved.

Deaf people have the same feelings like hearing people. They love each other, they married, they love their children, they cheat, they love again, again and again… But it’s so hard sometimes – to find somebody who we’ll love, isn’t?

I don’t like to wait for my Love of My Life like a princess in high tower, I would go for my happiness ahead! And why not to try on Internet? Because the Internet is the best way to meet deaf people all over the world. Why not try to find someone to love, not for just friendship? :)

There are many websites which want to help deaf people to find someone. My favourite is http://www.deafspot.net/deafdate/index.html

Why? I liked their “Online Dating Safety” – dating with head and a little seducing. And, the most important, they tell you what to do and what NOT to do when you meet someone new on Internet.

What’s the harm of try this website? Maybe you’ll find someone?

Good luck!

Deaf people have AIDS, too…

Deaf Issues 6 December 2011 | 0 Comments

1st December every year is World AIDS/HIV Day.

I hope, most of you know what is this and how to get this virus? And I think you all have awareness that AIDS doesn’t classify someone like a leprous. Myths about AIDS are sorrowful and unjustified.

Nowadays, AIDS is curable. You can live with it, lead quite normal life, even have children.

And, yeah, deaf people have got  AIDS/HIV, too… But you all know, how fast gossips spread around deaf society. Especially local deaf society. I’m not surprised that you prefer keep secret.

But someone think about you and finally, you could contact with them – they will help you, for sure!

Otherwise, you could end up like that “Names” list…

Cochlear Implant – the whole truth

Cochlear Implant (CI),Deaf Issues 28 November 2011 | 2 Comments

Cochlear Implant – the whole truth

Today – something controversially.

Do you have a deaf children? And you don’t want to teach him a sign language, because you think that sign language is poor and primitive? Have you got any expectations that your child would be a good lawyer or ballet dancer? Why not to put inside small skull of your child the latest technological beauty? And it would help him to lead normal life, as you wish?

Almost everybody thinks that Cochlear Implant is technological miracle.  Mass production of  CI-people, especially CI-children, is publicize by every mass media on entire world. Hearing people believe them, even YOU.

But the truth is different !

Read this smallweb page how CI really works.

http://www.listen-up.org/ci/ci-myths.htm

And, think milion times before you will decide implant to your beloved child. Your responsibility is not equivalent to his real needs.

 

 Life of your child is not your life. Let him to decide on his own.

And another controversially video (they have experimented on cats and mouses !!!!):
