@ReformedTheology5 Oh and I want to “thank you” for reporting me to YouTube! You harassed me more than I did to you and yet you have the nerve to report me?! What your problem is is that you’re jealous that I have more intelligence that you ever will and it upsets you so much you go around acting like a little bitch (*gasp* oh my go I called you a bitch!!! <---sarcasm). Oh and I did read the comments that you left for me on your channel you are worthless and pathetic.
@ReformedTheology5 @ReformedTheology5 C’mon now quite telling lies (it makes Jesus cry)! You blocked me and you know it! I probably “abuse” your kind (Christians) WAY less than you morons abuse me! Who cares if I called one of your friends a bitch? I just tell it like I see it! Private things to your friend? You posted PUBLIC comments on her channel belittling me! I know you’re not my therapist; you’d make a lousy one anyhow! I do NOT need your Jebus!
@ReformedTheology5 I’ll sum it up and make it easy for you to understand: Heaven and Hell are lies! There is NO SIN ONLY human nature that was given to us by your God and Jesus!!!
@ReformedTheology5 But of course! Go right ahead! Brainwashed morons NEED to stick together with other brainwashed morons! Oh and I have friends but they aren’t as messed up or as brainwashed as you and your friends are! I’m not stalking nor am I verbally abusing you. I curse; who the fuck cares? A lot of people curse nowadays the world isn’t all sunshine and lollipops as you’d like it to be! GROW UP!!!
@Sectumsempra9833175
i will leave more beautiful comments for my sister in Christ, as angry as it makes you.
now you don’t want me to have any friends either, just because you are so hateful, all your friends are probably either phony or as messed up as you are?
i don’t know you. i never did anything to you. leave the Christians alone. we haven’t done anything to you.
why are you so obsessed with stalking and verbally abusing Christians? do we have to put up with your abusive speech? BLOCK
@Sectumsempra9833175
why are you stalking me everywhere I go? you need to get a life. ask Jesus to give you a real life. YOU HAVE NO LIFE. wish you would see that. no, i am not going to hate on my sister like you hate the whole world. you sound like the devil. Jesus said unless you repent, you will perish in ETERNAL HELL, GOD’S JUDGMENT.
do not be so haughty. the hairs on your head are numbered. stop stalking Christians and verbally abusing them. YOU LIVE A SAD LIFE. YOU HAVE NO PEACE OR JOY.
@Sectumsempra9833175
what? i never blocked you. i deleted your comment because you called a Christian a “b”. that is not necessary and my page is Christian, i kindly posted my explanation to your page.
for being such a happy and content person as you claim, you seem to be really angry at innocent people who have done you no wrong. God says there is no peace for the wicked and that they have no rest unless they cause someone to stumble. i hope you find peace, Jesus Christ, one day.
@ReformedTheology5 PS: I read the comment you left on your retarded ass bimbo’s page (ForeverPraiseJesus) and I’m a FEMALE there for I can’t be a guy! Oh, and there’s no need to feel sorry for me; I’m quite happy thank you very much! 🙂
@ReformedTheology5 Retarded ass pussy blocker! I know damn well you didn’t block me because I cursed you blocked me because you’re a close minded moron who only speaks to other close minded morons! Baptists and Mormons are probably the two WORST types of Christians! You’re a disgrace to those who are actually good, kind Christians!
@RevBruff
personally, i see it this way :).
the hearing version of the problem as an issue of “preference.” they can take a course and learn ASL, Spanish, whatever.
the Deaf version of the problem is an issue of “access,” therefore, equality or fairness.
i learned in logic class that it is a “logical fallacy” (bad logic) to compare two different issues – like asking a question in a way that makes things look or seem like they are comparable, when they are not. maybe this applies?
i agree with your point about never mix both languages. true.
by attempting to choose the “lesser of two evils” – no signing or English signing – by choosing the best evil, English signing, we create a new evil – we ruin ASL.
by attempting to preserve two languages, we lose one. we preserve one “at the expense” of the other (ASL ends up “paying for it”). the cost is too expensive. i agree we shouldn’t compromise Deaf heart and language :).
i can always count on you Toby for the right attitude about things, especially related to ASL/Deaf culture. you made great points i hadn’t thought about and will be thinking about now.
i don’t get why hearing people would be bothered by no subtitles. it makes no sense because (as you well stated) they are able to learn the language if they want to know it.
it is NOT the same for Deaf people because there is no visual access to language and they are minority. hearing people already have access.
I think that if people want captions on ASL vlogs, then they should put captions on all the other videos posted on YouTube! It shouldn’t be an option for videos on youtube to have captions/subtitles, it should be a requirement!
You can Gloss ASL but I dont think i know of one deaf person who use’s it, also in response to RevBruff, Hearing people have the ablilty to learn ASL at their own free will, deaf people cannot necessarily learn to talk or read as easily.
I did captions to one of my videos. . . it’s a short video but the process was tedious. After doing that. . . I don’t know how many I will caption. It does take a very long time!
Just to be sure, the last part of my previous comment wasn’t directed at you, but a general one to anyone who happens to read it.
Yeah, I know. I am struggling on that but the problem is it takes a very long time to complete for one vlog. I will see what I can do.
Question, deafpcatoby, if you can’t access the language on a spoken english vlog or tv, would you be upset if they didn’t caption or subtitle it? (devil’s advocate) Is it all about equality and access? Or preference?
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this or not, but the fact that ASL is not a written language means true captioning or subtitles aren’t really possible.
English can have captions because it IS a written language.
But I will add that in order to bridge the cultures, something must be done, such as intepreting or translation. If the desire is to reach only one group of people, then don’t caption it.
You are absolutely 100% right.
WELL receptive skills take time… THe idea is not to translate everything into english ITS TO LOOK AT THE SUBTITLES TO SEE THE PORTRAYED INFORMATION then go back and watch the video with ASL grammer kept in mind…. SO i completely disagree
NO toby I am hearing and I disagree because when learning ASL it is important to keep in mind the ASL grammer but it is most important to keep in mind the interpretation in your head as an interpretor you need to be able to transfer the ASL into english for hearing people so they can understand
YEAH!! i agree with you so much!! good vlog!! keep it up ok thks. i give u a 5 rate and add the favorite 🙂
You are so right, thanks for this!
Great vlog; I definitely agree. Though actually, I’m a hearing ASL student, and my receptive skills are much better than my expressive skills. When I sign, I tend to mess up sentence structure, but I can understand it if I see it.
I’m with you on the time thing alone. I’ve done captions for my spoken vids before from spoken english to written english..and that’s hard enough with all the ums and vocalizations made that convey information without words. Doing a signed version would be like what you said in reverse. i hope that made sense.
