but...
parasites usually cripple or kill their host organism.
the government our constitution designed is more like toenail fungus. unpleasant, but usually harmless
what we got now is more like HerpeGonnoSyphillAids.
lying to your gov for ssi/ssdi

I am a culturally Deaf person. A lot of people I know draw SSI/SSDI. I have also been on it myself. I started receiving it from the time I was about 4 or 5 years old. My parents are also Deaf so I got a check because they got a check. Weaned off when I was 27 (I'm 36 now). I now own my own company but I definitely do not believe that I would have been able to do it without the help of SSI. SSI does help folks but at the same time... one definitely does learn to crutch on it. In fact, I consider it a cultural killer for my community in general. I do not believe it should be removed entirely like some of you are asking but set strict limits.
For the person who said... still looking for work after those years... discrimination is at it's highest when employers themselves do not understand how to overcome the challenges that come with hiring a disabled person. Everybody always wants to say they will hire a Deaf person but the reality is... they don't when it comes down to it. It is why I started my own company and all of my employees are Deaf. Even then... I am committing a form for discrimination MYSELF because I will not hire a hearing person. It's tough finding a middle ground, really.

I wondered about that part too, also awaiting what it means exactly.
I assumed deaf just meant deaf, regardless of severity.

I'm a Deaf person. My wife is Deaf. I have one Deaf son (I have two boys but one is hearing)... in addition to our extended family.
Yes, I am culturally Deaf and it is important to understand the difference between a person with hearing loss and those who are culturally Deaf. Most deaf people are deafened later in life... for example... the elderly and those who get injured or contract a virus later in life. Fact... most deaf people don't know sign language. There are around 26 million people with hearing impairments but only about 650,000 of those are culturally Deaf like me. ASL is our language. Those who are later deafened already know how to speak or cope in the hearing world.

So you've never heard anything?
Thats a truely unimaginable prospect.
Kudos for overcoming that limitation (apologies if that's an inappropriate or insulting word).

It's okay.
Hearing is perception to me. I do not see it as if me never hearing anything. Being Deaf is about experiencing the world visually. What that means to me is... I hear just fine. I just hear with my eyes and feel (touch). I would never want to hear. I do not see anything wrong or broken with me. I'm perfectly happy and function just fine.
My not being able to hear is not the problem. Communication is. It is difficult... hence... the emergence of the Deaf culture. We primarily hang out with other Deaf people. The good thing about smoking... it's universal.

Explict drug use... I don't know about that but definitely yes to marijuana use. It's definitely better than 50% of us.

Id say probably 50% of all people under 30 either smoke or at some stage have smoked weed but gave up.

And I'm saying that more than 50% of us smoke pot on a regular basis, all age groups combined. It would be like 95% of us have tried it. The higher use that ChesusRice indicated is absolutely true. I just am not so sure it applies to other types of drugs. We certainly have our share of crackheads, methheads, and pill poppers but I don't think it is much different from hearing people.
