Can you read people's emotions?

You're not the only deaf person I know. You're definitely the dumbest.

Right. It really must hurt you knowing that I earned a degree.

For all of the hearing people -- if you watch a TV show or movie, can you notice when the lips are out of sync with the audio?

Can you understand what they are saying just from the lips? Try it sometime. No sound. Welcome to my world.

And I assure you I don't look directly at the lips when I see this.

That's because you're a hearing person who's been able to hear all your life. Do you think I could lipread with any proficiency when I was little? No. I didn't pick that up until I was 14, 15 or so. Here's a clue so you can buy yourself one. Deaf people are not naturally proficient in lipreading.

Especially subtle cues such as the mouth formation that produces specific sounds.

Now if you're good with the lips and face - go back to this test here. Not especially helpful now is it?

Right. It really must hurt you knowing that I earned a degree.

I am absolutely devastated that the prestigious University of Northern British Columbia granted a Bachelor of Arts degree to you, in all likelihood, just to hit some diversity quota.

Usually, yes. It's not that hard.

I'm not talking about your ability to lipread. I'm talking about your sociopathic tendencies and inability to comprehend human emotion.

[Sava]

Classic BK. Create a strawman to distract from the real issue.

Yeah, you are butthurt that I earned a degree.

Usually, yes. It's not that hard.

No sound whatsoever?

I'm talking about your sociopathic tendencies and inability to comprehend human emotion.

Right. "empathy" = "approves sodomy".

Aren't you getting tired of banging the same old drum, Asher?

[Asher]

If I were tired of banging the same old drum, I wouldn't be into sodomy.

[Ben Kenobi]

I do like it how our political differences are attributed to my perceived 'mental illness'. That really oozes 'tolerance' and 'open-mindedness.'

[Asher]

It has nothing to do with your political differences. You're the only person on the right-wing on this site I believe has sociopathic tendencies.

The problem is you, not your beliefs.

[Sava]

Another BK tactic. Play the victim.

"I'm being oppressed!"

Sorry BK. You are evil. We just call the other right wingers idiots. They aren't sociopaths. Well, at least not any more than most right wingers.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Nahahahahahahaha. 36. Call me "Columbo".

[Ben Kenobi]

You're the only person on the right-wing on this site I believe has sociopathic tendencies.

Which is why you're extremely qualified to diagnose these things thanks to your MD. Dr. Asher, I presume?

Edit: Fantastic x-post.

[Krill]

Wow, so this is wholly about politics then - labelling people you hate as crazy.

More delusions. You need treatment, and I'll make damned sure you get it, rather than put other people at risk due to your dangerous ideation. That you are allowed to be around children and young adults is terrifying.

In any case you've also failed to actually diagnose the one that I do have. Which renders you 'quack' status.

You're a ******. We told you already.

Mind if I ask what they think about diagnosing someone over the internet? I'm pretty sure that's against your code of conduct.

So, let's see here...nope, nothing about that. In fact I even have to act if I think someone is at risk, and you teach poeople, so actually, I'm obliged to act.

So stay the **** out of the UK unless you want mental health treatment.

I have actual treatment notes from real Psychiatrists with actual MDs that say I'm of sound mind. Let's see your MD, Krill.

You're a ******. We told you already.

Wow, I guess we'll be seeing you on House someday.

Where's your MD, Krill?

Hey, Krill's declared a Fatwa! Cool.

You're still not as educated as MrFun and he's a terrible debater.

[Ben Kenobi]

You're still not as educated as MrFun.

To my everlasting shame.
