Wow! A deaf person saying what my wife and I have been thinking for over 10 years!!!! Its very tough to go and interpret for people that I KNOW are just using their deafness to get away with bad behavior! I understand the difference between the deaf and hearing cultures, but that does not mean its ok to be a complete jerk to everyone just because you are deaf.
