Ben Kenobi vs Michael the Great

[MichaeltheGreat]

No, all the teachers in the world should grovel at your feet in one giant pity-party so you finally shut the **** up with your Jim Crow comparisons, etc.

[Kidlicious]

So just because it's hard means that the teachers should accept piss poor results?

How do you think your strategy of simply being an ass is going to prove your point?

[Ben Kenobi]

How do you think your strategy of simply being an ass is going to prove your point?

Is it more difficult to teach deaf children how to read? Yes.

Does the increase in difficulty justify the tremendous gap in actual results? No.

Ergo - the system they are using to teach deaf children isn't working.

Your counter argument

"You're an ass."

Indeed, but that does nothing to counter my point.

[MichaeltheGreat]

At least you admit it. The first step to any cure.

[Kidlicious]

Ergo - the system they are using to teach deaf children isn't working.

Oh, and you know because you teach deaf children or have advanced training/education. Oh wait, you don't. You're just an *******.

[Alexander's Horse]

One thing I know is deaf people can be very stubborn...I mention no names *cough* ben *cough*

I have some high frequency deafness from aircraft noise, explosions and gunfire, also that deafness common to older men where its hard to hear when there is a lot of background noise, like in a restaurant or when their wife is talking to them *runs*

"You're an ass."

Kidicious's assessment of Ben

Indeed, but that does nothing to counter my point.

So this is the completion of the first step of your twelve step programme.

Next would be explaining why having mentioned child abuse/rape in connection with being taught at a school for the deaf run by Roman Catholics, you would yourself in later life convert to Roman Catholicism, especially given the publicity concerning institutionalized child abuse in the Church and repeated cover ups by the Church hierarchy.


I'm sensing unresolved issues. Do you long to wear gaudy clothes, fancy dress, or do you have a penchant for setting handbags on fire ?

Why did I convert? For the hot Catholic chicks.

[Ben Kenobi]

Actually I have advanced training and education, including counselling along with my history degree. I'll be trying to pick up more as I go along here.

[Ben Kenobi]

Everyone in my family is stubborn.

[Alexander's Horse]

all deaf are they?

[Ben Kenobi]

Me and my brother yes. My father was too.

[molly bloom]

Why did I convert? For the hot Catholic chicks.

I believe many are freely available to all comers, regardless of religious persuasion.

But then I grew up knowing R.C. girls who went to convent schools....

Are you a pilot too?

[Nikolai]

You don't believe him? Jeez, you guys really are stupid some times.
