When people, both deaf and hearing, bemoaned, whined, criticized and questioned the athletic skills between the deaf athletes and the athletes who can hear, they often amuse or astound me with their arguments. They often argued and proved with the records that hearing athletes fared much better than deaf athletes.
I will not deny that they are right. In fact, they are so right. Yes, many hearing athletes are better or a notch above deaf athletes. There. I said it. It is no secret. Heckle at us if you must, McCock.
But did anyone wonder why it happened like that? Did you wonder why they are better than deaf athletes?
There are several factors.
1. Most deaf children came from hearing families who does not give a fuck about what their deaf children are doing. Not all but many are. They did not play with their deaf kids, they did not take him to little league games, they did not talk about it.
2. Many deaf schools used to be very competitive with powerful teams until early 1980s because many deaf children were forced to stay in the dorms, thus was forced to play sports, work out and so on. They often encouraged, pressured then if it failed, forced you to play one sport.
But as state governments started to cut the deaf schools' budget, they had to close the weight room, the funds to send kids to football, basketball, baseball camps during the summertimes -- the athletic skills of deaf persons dropped tremendously b ehind hearing athletes who had the full support and attention of their parents, school and so on.
3. As it is evident that more and more deaf children are shuffled amongst the hearing children at the public schools, most hearing coaches does not want nor have the time to deal with the communication barrier -- the majority of deaf students do not play much. They are simply benchwarmers and "yes coach-men".
Many parents (mostly deaf and few hearing ones) objected to this move, some fought for years, some gave up. Some succeeded, most failed.
The result is that you see the gap between them and us.
Was it our fault? No, McCock.
It was theirs.
Stop cutting our budget, stop ignoring us, stop putting us in the corner -- then we will compete evenly. If not, the gap will grow.
That is what has been happening for more than 40 years.

If Not PBS, Then Who Will?
When I was sick with colds, sore throat and aches, I already mentioned earlier that I tend to tune in to PBS channel because it is easy on my mind.
People, for years, has been complaining about the way PBS operated itself. The Republicans worked hard to reduce the federal monies for PBS, the conservatives continued to whine about tax being used for PBS. The Christians whined that it is too neutral for their taste.
Now FagPatriot mentioned that George Will, a columnist, wrote an article indicating that we have no need for PBS.
I grinned. Then rolled my eyes. Then sighed. Then stared at CBS' Collegiate Basketball game on TV.
PBS is a private, non-profit media enterprise owned and operated by 349 public television stations that has NOTHING to do with ABC, CBS, FOX, CNN, NBC et al. PBS's aim is to be indpendent, neutral, educational and unbiased for *all* viewers. It cannot survive without some help from the government.
If the government wanted ONE media to be neutral for all the times while other stations can merge, bought or owned by who's who -- PBS is the one.
When PBS hosted a program that might depict a gay person, so what? When PBS hosted a program that depicted Chinese living in Seattle, so what?
Some X-ians whined that they are not being neutral, they have their own X-ian channel. Use it.
I stopped reading George Will's column because I did not care much for it -- I already interned at PBS and saw the works within. All I can say is that the experiences I had with them was incredible in comparison with the private, for-profit TV stations.
I saw the PBS' advertisement few days when I was in bed, the children was watching the puppet show. The guy who controls the puppets attempted to force two puppets to fight each other. But suddenly, two puppets decided to cut the strings, to reject the puppetmaster and be independent on their own. They can decide for themselves without any interference.
That is what PBS is all about.
That is why many X-ians, Conservatives and Republicans feared the PBS. So they try to find ways to kill PBS so that they can control the viewers, voters and the rest.
Shame, though.
But it is not illegal.

When It Comes to Islam, Be Skeptical
In this decade of American History, I had to be skeptical when it comes to the accusations of Islamic terrorists. I noticed that it is easy to write off on a certain group with the accusations after 9/11 occurred.
It was not a while ago when McCock, Kurzetard and PrecinctChair as well as some conservatives decidedly accused the Islamic community in Jersey City for killing the Coptic Christian family.
It turned out that it was not case of terrorism, it was other Christians upstairs who robbed and slayed the whole family. They announced on the local news yesterday but you will not see in the national newspapers that the Muslims has nothing to do with it.
Did you know that in South America, many countries has t-shirts and billboards that viewed Osama bin Laden as a hero -- South America is predominantly Catholic! Think about it. It's not religion -- it is how we deal with the rest of the world.
Many people in the world considered Osama bin Laden as "David" and us as "Goliath" -- and you know how it ended with the mythical story.

Ridor's Bitch Session II
Dear Student,
I'm sick of your whiny gimme-gimme ass. You are the most ignorant, arrogant and manipulative hearie student I've ever had. Apparently you thought you'd just miss classes, saunter in class late nearly every week, miss appointments, don't complete homework, and receive an "A". You thought learning ASL would be a lark. Now you're crying because you didn't foresee the loop-a-loop? I mean, ASL is a LANGUAGE and and it's hard work to learn! What did you think it was, monkey language? You never gave it more attention than a few lame-ass halfhearted attempts at throwing your hands around in approximately the correct configuration. I could barely tolerate you sitting there with your surpy-sweet smile and bullshit about how cool sign language and how wowowow awesome beautiful it is. And I fucking saw through everything you did, even the emails you sent me where you would threaten me then try to flatter me. Who the fuck do you think you are? You can't sign, period. You don't pass Go. You don't collect $200. Enjoy the "F" and get the fuck out of my face.
Sincerely,
ASL Professor
Ridor Responds: 15 to 30 words. Strong words but too long.
DH, it's better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you're a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Terese should have stayed a lesbian then she would not be pregnant with that loosers baby and now married and professing undying love...
It's not bitchin' but want to say that Manny has a great ass, not to mention a gorgeous face. Wouldn't I love to kiss those lips and squeeze that ass.
Roaches, roaches, roaches fuckin' everywhere in my office. Exterminators are coming tonight, so hopefully roaches goes bye bye. Don't want stow-aways visitors at my home!
What's the deal with people complaining about the snow? Snow is gorgeous. If you want to complain about snow, then fuckin' move to fucking florida. No snow there.
Anthony Mowl, you're too young and inexperienced to be an editor. Maybe the brethen will help you wake up. Hope so. Good luck.
"According to the rumors, they said that I think I am the center of the universe. But it is not true. In fact, I am the Universe!" -Ridor [Taken from your blog, well you are AS BIG as the Universe for SURE!!!!]

Hey Junction Man and your slacker friends ---when are you all going to get off your lazy asses and be productive? Well, for starters, you could at least graduate. There's more to life than disc golf and getting high.
See? I was right about Ben Lewis and Rico -- it won't last long! Back to the hunting game.

Bow Before Your God, Ridor The Terrible!
I'm back. For the last two days, I had been bedridden with colds, sore throat and all that stuff you heard from different sources. I'm rejuvenated. Back to normal. Told Beth that the little lump on my left shoulder seems to be growing. Perhaps, I'll be the Hunchback of New York in a short time.
A conservative friend of mine IMmed me today with this article and said I should check this out -- he nailed on how I looked at things. Perhaps, you guys should read and think about it a little more and ... thank Osama Bin Laden.
Like it or not, Osama did things that pulled us into the fray. Too bad, Bush does not look at it as a bait -- he looks at it as a crusade of "freedom", "terrorism", "liberty" and "anti-gay".
North Dallas Thirty wrote an entry to celebrate Texas' 169 years of "independence". How silly is that? I personally think Texas is not worthy enough to be part of the United States. Its people are greedy, they required more space, more things, more food, more oil, more of anything else, really!
They claimed that they honored Erastus Smith, a deaf person who helped Sam Houston to beat Santa Ana by blowing up the bridge, which trapped Santa Ana as well as spying for Sam Houston. They honored Erastus Smith by naming a county "Deaf Smith" in the far corner of Texas Panhandle, away from the normal folks to find out who he is! It is away from a major highway, away from bigger cities -- the county is simply sitting on a desolate area that has no purpose of attracting people to find out who he is.
It is like, "Yes, we honored him for doing this. That's why we gave him a county. Far over there, no -- far away on ur left side ... that dusty room where nobody ever entered the room!"
Gee, thanks, hearie Texans for such being assholes to Erastus Smith -- get this, you would NOT have Texas if not for Deaf Smith. Stephen F. Austin was mere a wuss politician, Sam Houston depended heavily on Erastus Smith! And where did you put Erastus Smith? In the fucking corner where nobody visited!
Update! I just wanted to make sure that there is a major highway going through Deaf Smith because I drove through one -- twice. Interstate 40 rolled into Deaf Smith County from Oldham County for less than 1/4 of a mile before entering New Mexico. You could take a pic of "Deaf Smith County" board and still see a board few hundreds of feet away welcoming you into New Mexico. It sucked.
Gee, thanks a lot, you Texan fags!

Sometimes I Do Not Like Gays
A Roehmosexual, FagPatriot, heckled at NGLTF about Topeka's repeal of ban on gay rights in a red state. But FagPatriot did not mention that NGLTF was the driving force behind the Topeka's repeal. They went out to Topeka and pushed for it. What about FagPatriot? Driving around in a blue state in Los Angeles. Go figure.
A jilted lover burns his partner's car and house because his partner loved his Volkswagen more than him in Bath, Pennsylvania.
A gay student was bashed by six caucasian men in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and meanwhile, the fraternity at UNC, Alpha Iota Omega, has only 3 members and they are suing the University for trying to force all organizations not to discriminate against anyone based on race, creed and orientation. Only 3? Desperate for attention?
I'm gonna watch Six Feet Under or Oz tonight On Demand.
It s fun watching hearing people getting killed these days. You do not see a deaf person dropping dead on television these days. Hundreds of hearies die on TV and movies. The TV must be so anti-hearie.
Hahahahaha

Weird Names
Last night, it snowed heavy. But it does not stop me from going to The Cock Bar. I had a good time chatting with people -- it's not crowded like normal but it is much fun that way.
I saw Richie, Patrick, Corey, JonJon and few others.
Corey asked me if I heard about Fred Durst and I nodded. He smiled like Hell and said, "You have it?" I nodded and will send it to him.
Suddenly, one drunkard guy came to me and wrote that his name is 74168. I was baffled and asked him to tell me his name once again. He was annoyed and said, "I am 74168."
Then he became out of control to a point where I asked Corey to do something. He got booted out.
74168? Yeah, my ass is my real name.
Later, I met another guy named Jessiah. I was perplexed with the name. He said his mother mixed "Jesus" and "Messiah" into one. Oh, lord. Somebody whack me already. He asked me to dance, I declined. He wrote a note to DJ JonJon to play a song, DJ JonJon tried to speak to him directly, Jessiah refused and insisted to write down -- he is hearing! It was dumbass thing to observe.
He then pulled me to dance with him which I said OK for his sake -- when the dance was done, Jessiah slapped me. He said I can dance very well and that I tried to lie my way out, that's why he slapped me. Then kissed me.
Whatever. I just grinned and he asked me to get in touch with him. Maybe. I will.
I don't know.
Then a guy tapped me on my shoulder and tried to speak to me. I didn't understand him, it was too dark -- he then wrote on a napkin, "I am an actor."
Why tell me? I wrote back, "So?"
He said he wanted to tell me that he acted in several productions. I'm like, okay, what should I say this time? Weird. Later, he finally chatted with me about few things which was very nice.
Then I met a caucasian guy from NYU. He was cute, adorable, and easy on my eyes. Very hugable.
Then he told me that he was born in Honolulu, Hawai'i, and that his name is Uriel.
Yeah, he emailed me this afternoon.
But what's up with these odd names last night?
