do you think its ok for a deaf person to have a LTCF?

[TXDMERC73]

i am profound deaf since i was 5 from meninghitis , i have a LTCF , some people think i shouldnt have a LTCF cuz i am deaf. i had the same problem when i first got my drivers license when i was 17 i am 35 now. so what does anyone think of this discrimination?

[LittleRedToyota]

deaf people absolutely should be able to have an LTCF...and a DL.

[Virtualmatt]

No, because deaf people obviously aren't really alive and thus have no life to protect.

I could understand the concern about a drivers license (not hearing a horn or ambulance) but I can't think of a single reason why a deaf person shouldn't be allowed to have a LTCF to protect themselves. Being deaf doesn't make you immune from crime does it?

Does being deaf make you immune to opportunistic thugs?


I didn't think so. Of course you should have an LTCF.

i'm a big jerk


With that said, what does being deaf have to do with protecting yourself?

No, but they'll definitely save money on EarPro.

Many types of deafness are not immune to tinnitis. While not able to hear in the normal sense, their ears may still transmit the ringing caused by damage from repeated, excessively loud noises.

which, i imagine would be 100 times worse than it is for a non-deaf person since the deaf person could not hear white noise to help drown it out....

man, that would suck.

Are you sure you are 35? Also, are you considered blind, deaf, and dumb? because you type like a 16 year old.

No need to put a guy down for his internet spelling.



And yes you should have a LTCF.

Thats like saying people who are born with flat feet can not enjoy and practice freedom of speech. One has NOTHING to do with the other.
