I fail to see your point. Yes, a lot of communities have extreme segments. So? I never suggested otherwise. And whether I 'get' why they hold such views or not doesn't really change anything. To borrow your...Rather excessive Jihadist comparison...I understand the reasoning of suicide bombers just ...

The relevant quote is during the visit to Shizune's house. In the last conversation between Hisao and Jigoro, Jigoro says "She stopped talking to me for twelve years". Since Shizune is 18, that implies a period of 6 years when she was talking. I think the most reasonable time slicing is that she lo...

@Liminaut:   That is a pretty reasonable list, yes (apart from the age six thing which I’m unsure of). The typo is a common one, I see it a lot.   @Mirage_GSM:   That’s right. The people who are Deaf that I know who use spoken language vary greatly from person to person in terms of how clear their s...

Technically, they're being taught using the vibrations created by vocalization. They can perceive those just fine, provided they've not lost their sense of touch. I had ear infections throughout my early childhood which affected my hearing. They also affected my speech because I couldn't hear and c...

If someone is dead but has no vocal problems it is possible to teach them to speak. It involves placing hands on throats to feel the sound.

What you see of her outside her route is mostly her in 'serious business' mode.

No, it's just that they both really love those things and find great joy in doing them, so if they got some whacked out fantasy kitchen, it would maybe involve those things that make them happy. Believe me, I like Emi as a lot more than a runner. She worries about her health though, so if she could...

I mean, might as well do something creative with the concept. Go ahead, go nuts. Give Emi a kitchen spread out around a 400m track so she can run while she cooks and burn off calories ahead of time, give Rin one made of canvas that she could paint on, anything. Sky's the limit. So from a game where...

Because that ASL joke never gets old. :roll:   BSL is British Sign Language, and is in a separate language family from ASL and JSL which are in their own (having evolved on their own, separately) I dunno about JSL, but I've been half-heartedly studying BSL. Apparently the most important things Deaf ...

Not a good habit for an interpreter.

You're still thinking in the mindset of it being you as you are right now, not the person living in the actual situation who has had their spirit so thoroughly crushed that they are terrified of being punished and will obey out of fear. Maybe they tried it once and suffered a terrible punishment? Ma...

Perhaps, then again I can't speak from experience here. My family was (thankfully) not religious at all. However, even if they were religious, I'm known by everyone in my family (including extended!) to have the absolute worst temper and very strong will. Once I was to set myself into doing somethi...

And I'm with Stein here. If my parents were like that, it'd be easy enough to detach because they're clearly not worth it. In fact, one was like that and she straightened up once I put my foot down. :lol: http://www.alternet.org/belief/escape-christian-fundamentalism-kids-who-flee-abusive-isolated-...

It's not so much that as asking the right people on the Internet.

So either answer violence with violence, or legally sever all ties with them and live until adulthood in foster care?

You make it sound so easy, so cut and dried and free of emotion.
