Wow I had no idea, I never thought to look down on someone for being deaf. Its sad to hear thats the case.

Its not you. Its people like Double Tap.

Never said that. I said that the FEAR that deaf people show, the unreasoning fear of the hearing and being "forced" into hearing is totally insane.

Sigh. You simply don't understand.. It's not really a fear. It's just fear of loss of self-identity. It's equivalent to change myself from an American to hmm a foreigner citizen.. I am darn proud to be an American and I refuse to change to maybe an Mexican citizen because it's just a loss of identity that I am so accustomed to and I don't want to leave the culture of America and live in Mexico for real. I don't want to have my life to be changed in an dramatic way thanks to a simple country move.. It's same way as change from deaf world to hearing world is a dramatic identity change. If I love deaf world then why do I want to change?? Hell no.. If I really hate USA then I would embrace the change of my identity of country citizen. But I don't. If I really love USA, why would I want to change my citizenship? No reason to.. It's not a fear.. It's called.. PRIDE!!!!!!!!!! Pride is NOT same as fear.. I'm damn proud to be a deaf person; therefore, why want I stop being a deaf person?? I show off people that I am deaf person and I'm always feel GOOD that they know that I'm deaf and I always get amazement reaction from those people so far after they knew huge success of my life. It's something freaking proud to show those people. It's a huge sense of accomplishment. Deaf culture rocks so I don't wanna leave period.. I do live in hearing world for long time (at my work place and parties etc) and I am not too crazy about hearing ways, etc so I rather stick to deaf ways and want to stay belonged to Deaf World. Did you know that if I switch to hearing person, Deaf World will start to reject me because I'm not like them anymore.. It's an identity problem.. Not a fear.. It's a pride and belong.. Again, if I really hate deaf world and being deaf, yes. I would do anything to change myself to hearing person.. Thank God .. It's not the case..

@Will...I got your point straight off the mark. Your life is full being deaf and you CHOOSE not to try anything to change it. As with any group theres good and bad, so lets not put any halos on deaf people. There just like everyone else with all that comes from being human, with all our flaws and virtues. Im hoping you can admit that you have flaws as a human, since no one on planet Earth is flawless. You dont have to HATE being deaf to want to change it. Not all deaf people are as comfortable with being deaf as you are so you make an extrema point. You pointed out that the FBI/CIA uses deaf people but totally ignored the fact that they CANNOT serve in the US armed forces because they cannot communicate they way they are required to. So be proud of being deaf as your choice but you should try to lessen your us against them feelings towards hearing people and any feelings of superiority you have associated with you deafness. You would be just as if not more successful if you were born hearing.

@Sukram ...... I'll post my challenge here since you cant delete it meatbag, LOL. You have 7 ranks on me so your not lower ranking then me. I will fight you 1 V 1 anytime you want to try me since you think you a big tough guy. I really have no idea how you got in the Dysonians whit your stats, so its not like im challenging Mojo311 or anything, but i dont pretend that my ship is the equal of his like you think your my equal. So anytime meatbag...no alerting...no traps...1 v 1...your as weak as they come in every way. I post your stats so others can see and laugh at a SO CALLED Dysonian....less then 450 NPC'S thats not the Dysonian way......Have you even provided a SINGLE BOSS....I doubt it.

Talk about living in someones shadow, without help your just a whinny little so and so.

Bold emphasis = mine.

I disagree with this point that Nocifer would be more successful at NASA if he was hearing. Him being Deaf allows him to work on projects and solve a lot of problems from a new perpsective that hearing people are normally unable to really visualize or "put shoes on" of a silent world. Deaf people can solve a lot of visual problems better than hearing people do because visual stuff is far more a necessity for Deaf people than it is for hearing people. If Nocifer was hearing, he probably wouldn't have impressed NASA and gotten his NASA job. He wouldn't have the insight to develop visual equipment and other engineering stuff for NASA. He would be in fact less successful than he is.

Other ways that a Deaf person can be more successful than hearing people is at office based workplaces. They can focus on their computer or tasks, completely ignoring office distractions like flirts, people stopping by to gossip, or stop working every time a strange or loud noise goes off. They can keep focused and work through all the distractions that would bug a hearing person. Therefore, Deaf people can be *more* productive than hearing people in this case.

Yes, there are some jobs hearing people can do better than Deaf people- jobs that require sound or needs sound to be more efficient obviously. Also, some jobs that require a lot of talking like counselors or shrinks. Obviously, a Deaf shrink might not be able to work effectively with a hearing patient who doesn't know sign, but will be much more efficient working with Deaf people or even hearing patients who DO know sign (like hearing children or family of deaf patients). On the other hand, there are jobs where Deaf people can and will be more efficient than hearing people, mainly jobs that require total focus (no distractions) or a lot of visual stimuli.

So basically, there are jobs that hearing people can do better than Deaf people, and there are jobs that Deaf people can do better than hearing people. Its silly to assume that hearing people can do ALL jobs better than Deaf people, or vice versa.

Who knows WHAT Nocifer would have done...I didnt say he would be better off at all, I said could be better off. If i had said "you would be more successful if you were a hearing person" then you would have a point, but I didnt. For all i know he could be President(Oh God President Wood lol) if he was a hearing person. Someday the country will have one but not anytime soon. You are limiting him to only NASA, as I say who know WHAT he would have done and you know what. Your not superior or inferior, deaf people are the same. Yes you have a different perspective, It not superior period. Are you saying that NASA is the only path Nocifer could take?




Are you saying that deaf people are only robots? That they have no interpersonal skills? Nocifer plays GL while working all the time, Is that being Productive or is that the same as flirting? In either case the person is not doing what they are being paid for so, so much for that point you just made about productivity. People are either driven to succeed and to not, being deaf is not part of the equation.

So you should read more carefully and not alter my posts, quote it but dont make it look like i put that last sentence as that huge and open your mind to possibilities instead of just proclaiming the Nocifer IS better off being deaf. how the hell do you know WHAT his life would be if he was born hearing. That is a narrow view of the world

Yes, his life would be different if Nocifer was born hearing. I'm not disputing that. I'm disputing whether he would he accomplishing more or less if he was hearing instead of Deaf in the exact same job position at NASA.

Nocifer wouldn't have had his insights into visual stimuli for the computer stuff he works on for NASA, or remain so hyper-focused on his projects instead of being distracted by idle office chatter and such that hearing people are privy to. He wouldn't be accomplishing as much in the same time span as he would have if he was hearing.



I did not alter your post whatsoever. I simply bolded and enlarged that sentence to make it easier for people to read and refer to. I even indicated that I was doing so.

Now for your statement. I never said that Deaf people are robots or have no interpersonal skills. Note my example of Deaf shrinks in my previous post. There are and can be Deaf lawyers, doctors, etc. who cater to Deaf people and hearing people who know ASL (usually family or good friends of deaf people). Also, a Deaf (or ASL-proficient hearing person) professional will be able to empathize more with the disability, Deaf culture + history + background, and struggles than a non-signing hearing professional would be.

And as for Nocifer playing GL, hearing people play GL at work too. However, hearing people who play GL also have these other distractions to deal with, like gossip, flirting, strange or loud noises, etc. whereas Nocifer and other Deaf players like myself don't have to deal with those other additional distractions.

Again, there are certain jobs that Deaf people can do better than hearing people, and vice-versa. I'm not saying that Deaf people are better at everything than hearing people, but some people (not you) *do* think that hearing people can do everything better than Deaf people, which is wrong.

Yeah. My alternative life path as hearing person since birth is completely unknown whether it would be better or worse.. We cannot know period.. Since I wanted to be NASA employee since 12 yrs old so I basically limited myself to NASA for anything. I was practically born to work for NASA and nothing else.. I even turned down Boeing job offer after my university graduation at 2x more pay than NASA's offer.. I didn't even care about Boeing..

I see two scenarios as hearing lifestyle but still am born to be NASA person:
Worse scenario:
I am born as hearing person. I never get unique abilities that deafness would give me on the perspective. I took world for granted and found it unchallenging. I have no obstacles to overcome so I didn't take my life seriously so I get screwed up in high school partying, etc cuz no challenge. I get bored and not learning as much as I should.. When I apply for NASA, I get rejected because I wasn't serious enough.. My life is in shambles.. Also, I might get rejected because they didn't need me cuz my skills are too common like everybody else when they really need specific skills that I didn't possess..

Best scenario:
I am born as hearing person. I never get unique abilities that deafness would give me.. But I did take my life seriously and am very motivated to become NASA person.. However, I wouldn't land on same jobs that I am on having now. I would be an astronaut already by now.. I would practically joined Airforce after high school or college then become an astronaut because my current passion is also flying and very good at it via combat simulations..

That's just two possible paths but I could see more possible paths but not gonna list.. But both paths above is nothing to be really proud of because it's not a prestige that I'm having right now as deaf person. I like to do things FIRST before anybody else.. To become an astronaut as hearing person? No big deal because they had done it already.. If I became an astronaut as DEAF person then, yes, it's something damn proud of and will shock the world easily.. I have lot of prestige opportunities right now as deaf person.. As part of the team on possible cold fusion breakthrough as deaf person is something extremely honored and proud of. It'll be my greatest sense of accomplishment and I would love to show off to the world about my disability as part of the team on technological breakthrough..

FYI, I was told by so many people that they could see me as an astronaut easily because I got all traits like them but deafness and my ultra-ego are only way that stops me from becoming one.. I don't want to become a liability to the hearing team in Space where death can happen because they don't have technology to accommodate deaf astronauts yet.. They spent $ in accommodating hearing team such as voice communication via wireless, etc. If the world is 95% deaf world then Space technology will be entirely different and will be designed for deaf astronauts first obviously.

Frankly, I am glad to forego astronaut possible path and work on cold fusion technology and other technologies where it matters MORE to the world and also enjoy being in Deaf world.. Astronaut career isn't a world-changing field. It's just a "cool" factor to it at best. I like to be there for deaf people not for hearing people because deaf people need real role models like that.. There aren't many good deaf role models in the deaf world.. Hearing world got WAY too many hearing role models and I don't want to be one of many hearing role models. It won't be as exciting as deaf role model..

Again.. I WANT prestiges.. Best chance to get prestiges is to be a deaf person PERIOD.. I like to be in uncharted waters right now for deaf community. I grew up as Star Trekkie fan and my favorite quote, "to boldly go where no man has gone before". I re-phase that quote, "to boldy go where no deaf person had gone before" is my motto and I'm currently there and breathing right now. I feel like a true Enterprise crew right now as deaf person.. I wouldn't feel that way as hearing person. Heck, in reality. We "might" be first team to give birth to Star Trek Era by introducing cold fusion energy (ONLY if we had a breakthrough) that would lead to fusion engine that is essential as first phase for starship impulse engine.. I never even thought by growing up as Star Trek Universe only to be a part of team in real life that might trigger that universe realistically.. Lol. Talking about coincidence I guess or is it destined??

To become hearing person definitely will cheapen my sense of accomplishments in a major way and I ain't going to take that route. No thank you.. Heck, you should know as gamers.. Gamers always chase sense of accomplishments. They hunger for HUGE sense of accomplishments. They wouldn't want weak series of sense of accomplishments. They want one huge huge sense of accomplishment that will outweigh so many chains of weak ones so they can have something to remember by. In EQ1 defeating sleeper for first time as first guild on server (not my guild no) gave the guild major sense of accomplishment and it's still being talked even TODAY by those players who were there.. Right now, so many games with lot of weak sense of accomplishments... Nobody talk about those accomplishments long enough and they will be long forgotten over time. I am not chasing weak accomplishments.. I am gunning for major ones.. As deaf person, I have chance for major ones. As hearing person, I hardly can see any major ones if other hearing people already had done that before..

Mark Hamill for UFC is a deaf fighter. He being there is HUGE HUGE sense of accomplishment that he has something darn proud of.. Obama as first black president is HUGE accomplishment by itself and I know that Obama is damn proud to break that ice. I bet that he would never want to be "white" person and become president the easy way because it won't give SAME sense of accomplishment that he would get as black person.. To become a first black president only makes him more proud of his race as black person. Same for me, to become first deaf person in several areas only make me even more proud of being deaf person. It strengthen my identity. Enuf said..

Nice one! Krauzen is a real class act as you can see how he posts on peoples comm. this is not my comm but a fellow legion member. Theres insults and then theres this. Is this the Dysonian code of honor, or just business as usual? Krauzen is a menace to society and Galaxy Legion. Here he is referring to his sons picture on his FB account. Submitted for your disapproval.

LOL, its funny how you try to act like the victim, above is the other side of the comm from hercieve to show the other side of the story.

You forgot to mention that you and you legion *mainly hercive* has constantly been leaving discriminating and racist comments on me and my legion mates ship's comm for the last month degrading me what i do in real life, as well as my legion leader because of his disability, and if you want my personal opinion, i think that anyone who talks trash of the United States Military shouldn't deserve to be called an American. However, even though they do it, its their RIGHT as an American to say their opinions and thoughts about us, and i stand ready to put myself in harms way to defend that RIGHT.
Overall, I am ashamed of myself, not for what i said to Hercieve, but the fact that i had to stoop down to their level to show them how it feels to be discriminated in real life, over some game.

Wow Bender...you just shoot off the mouth as soon as ya can....even you said some things that are not exactly cool...your girl in PM told me and a few others some problems you had just to miniplate and use us for info....point is.. i understand your a lil unbalanced with all the pills your prescribed...but thats just a excuse to abuse people....and callin me a cho mo for bien a man and babysitting MY kids ....are you freakin serious? And then sayin Im a multi account...Sleepercell...amanda My Girlfriend...plz....I m so tired of our accusations and anger...even your old legion mates left you for your hipocrosy and ignorance...Angela ..you GF..or wife has told alot of people of your CHARACTER....showin PICS and sayin some things ...but the bottomline..THIS IS A GAME...And we are all tired of you ....So plz....be a MAN stop the BS..I KNOW MATT in RL...I am impressed with his HONOR and CHARACTER....I am even consider him as a family friend.....dont ascew the facts .....your insults have been ignored to long...You have no respect..or humility....see you in battle!!!!!

Wow. That is some high quality trash talk. I love it. There should be some sort of reward system in place for good trash talk.

Seriously, you can't get mad about someone calling your baby ugly. Most babies are hideous, but everyone lies to each other. Are we really going to judge Krauzen negatively for HONESTY?

That remark in red from Hercive is just one that has been copied and pasted. I've seen a lot more than that and slamming our military that are fighting and dying everyday for us to have a better life here at home and for all of our freedom. This isn't Vietnam and our soldiers aren't the bad guys here. They're out there fighting the damn idiots that bombed the Twin Towers who want to rewind the clock 2 thousand years.

They're brainwashed fanatics and they'll do whatever it takes to compete their mission.

Now Hercive sounds like one of those idiots if he's slamming our guys and Matt. If he has a problem with Matt then he needs to leave the Military out of it but as a Veteran I say shut your Damn mouth Hercive and pick another topic !

/popcorn...


And we all know Bush wanted 9-11......

you seen worse huh, what from your own comm posts? post it dont just lie and make things up. Ive seen your posts and there really bad and usually homophobic. So let him insult the guy himself and not his child, anyone who defends what was posted is the lowest of the low in my opinion.

Whoa now Blitz! there were no bad soldiers in vietnam, remember they were almost all recruited, and had to go. My father was a vietnam vet, shot twice and returned for two tours. they did what they had to, and our government made them do alot of bad #&$# over there. Just think if our country had been behind those troops in vietnam like they are now for iraq and afganistan, we prob could have won vietnam to.

Oh and i honestly believe that you should be able to set up who you want to post on your comm, such as GL friends and legion mates, and then block everything else
