[Since communication on FR eliminates all vocal and visible physical communication, and leaves only the written word, WHL57 is on equal ground ]
Well, that’s not quite true, since as you pointed out, he/she was lucky because he/she could not ‘hear’ the “vocal” on the video.
I lost much hearing around 30 yrs of age. I doubt you have any concept of how such an ‘unseen’ disability affects ones life.
Your repeated comments would be like telling a blind person they were lucky because they could not ‘see’ a video nor read the articles.
I know you were not meaning to be unkind, but it was thoughtless. We are not ‘lucky’.
If I had to choose between being able to see my family members or being able to hear them I’d rather hear them any day of the week. I feel your pain.
I think he was trying to make light, sort of like somebody joking about another person being lucky to be blind since they have a wife who looks like crap. Maybe not such a funny joke to a person who’s really blind.

Potlatch, thanks for saying what went thru my mind when I read UCANSEE2’s comment.
UCANSEE2,
I have been deaf/hard of hearing since birth.
I see/ notice things that others don’t .... but that only goes so far.
The operative word for this handicap is ISOLATION.
(we now return to regular programming )
Pictures coming out now put the mainstream media squarely in the dunces seat....
If any more CR@p happens and people are hurt as a result of the media (and baiters) instigation, they should be held accountable and charges brought against them.
Starting with each “reporter”.
