You're babbling about non-issue things. And yes the 2% has just as much rights as you do. Just because you are in the majority does not make you superior. We are talking about equal rights. So yes, suck it up and be quiet

I don't care about majority or minority. I think people should be excepted and loved for who they are. Why would you have a problem with that

Similar percent? Maths not your strong point?

"About 2 to 4 of every 1,000 people in the United States are "functionally deaf," though more than half became deaf relatively late in life; fewer than 1 out of every 1,000 people in the United States became deaf before 18 years of age."

How many deaf people are there in the United States

Cause Me and my brother and two sisters and my grand daughter are all left handed and we are not given any special consideration at all. Not complaining as I am in const and get used to power tools with the blades on the wrong side next to your body,saftey switches rightys use their thumbs on while I have to invert the joint on my index knuckle to operate. try that with a 3 hp beam saw with a 12 inch blade. just saying thats the way things are so live with it and quite complaining,the world can never be perfect for everybody ever ever never. so quit trying already

If your lucky, you can take a p*** out behind the trees. Your lunch is shaved ham on bread with potato chips eaten with dirty hands...OH HEAVENS!! You get the idea..... And don't go off crying to anyone about it. You'll be the laughing stock of the help!

I see you really unnerstand them damn gays. Candy asses.



Pay no attention to Lance Corporal James Wharton. He's a member of the most elite kill team in England, and served as an openly gay soldier in Iraq.

Sorry, Wikipedia is not a 'credible source'.

Got something else?
