2. Thank you for saying that out loud! I have dialup in the

boonies an hour east of Toronto with NO high speed at home. I can't stream video and sometimes it takes forever for a page to change or go to a new site. I have high speed at my office 30 miles away. Grrrr

6. Every few months I used to put up an OP asking people to summarize
videos for us deafies and others who can't watch vids, for whatever reason. My threads would get 150-200 recs, because so many people agree with that point, but it never actually makes an impact. Most DUers still post videos with no information for those of us who can't watch them

I get it, though. As a hearing-impaired person, I am used to being left out of group conversations, even within my own family and among work colleagues, and even when I ask right then and there for people to speak up a bit and let me see their lips when they speak.

I don't bother with starting threads on the topic any more. Its too tiring and frustrating. I don't even click most vid links any more. I click only those that I really think I want to know about, and then when I don't find a sumary, I ask for one. If I am in a bad mood, though, I will sometimes unrec if there is no sumamry, but I always leave a note saying why I have unrecced if I have done so, in hopes that it might impact the poster's future behavior.

7. Oh, and notice: As I mentioned, even when I ask people in person to speak up a
bit when I can't follow what they are saying, explaining that I am severely hearing impaired, most people still don't bother to do so. And although I asked for a summary of this video for us deafies, none was forthcoming.

8. I just logged in Summary:
Faux news conservatives whine about big government taking away parents freedoms by paying $4 billion over 10 years for healthier school lunches.

3. It's hard to imagine people evil enough and moronic enough to think that those repulsive jokes took

the high road. (Six cents each for children's lunch is too much. Wow.)


Except for one lady, they were the dregs of society. Thirty years from now people will look at that clip with the same disgust as people now look at the clips of racists from the 60's and 70's. (Actually, it will be like 30 seconds for anyone that isn't morally bankrupt or cognitively disabled.)
