Why are people so rude???

Why would a person ever just make fun of deaf people as a whole?  I was watching Celebrity Apprentice (yay for DVR!!!) and there was a deaf person and another person was talking about how no little kid wants to read about a person who is deaf because it is sad and it would make them feel bad.  All this to a person who has been trying to break over barriers like this for HER WHOLE FREAKIN' LIFE!!! Seriously?!? That is just ridiculous.  I just don't get how a person can get so callous and rude!  To anybody who has a handicap, which I think most of us do, by the way, the most demeaning thing to tell them is that they should just hide in the shadows because they make people feel bad.  And that person doesn't care about the person they're talking to?  That's just ridiculous.  Ridiculous.  Since when has the human race been degraded to that almost animal order of intelligence?  I'm ashamed.  But then, why should I?  I know that there are some people in the world who do things like this all the time.  I know there are some good people in the world.  But I also know there are substandard examples of humans as well.

Why is childrearing so difficult?

Why do parents want only the best for their children?  It seems to me as if parents always push their children into what the parents think is best for them.  I've have also seen the trend of children not wanting to be like their parents and resolve to be better to their children.  I think part of the reason this sometimes does not work is that all children are different and will respond to different stimuli than other children.  But this still seems interesting to me.

Where do the lies end?

or the truth start?  Do I lie to you all the time?  Could everything I say be an inaccurate mask hiding what I really mean until the mask fades away and becomes the horrible face that is underneath.  I feel like I'm so fake.  I feel like I'm just a machine or a robot, following someone else's will until I find myself enough to make my own decisions.  That or become so overwhelmed with the horrible person I am.  Really overwhelmed.  I just want to curl up and play some music or run or something.  I can't go on like this.  I need something else.  Music.  Pain.  God.  Something.  Probably God.  But all things come from God.  Because I certainly can't get it from other people...

Man is not machine...

...and never will be
following another person's track with this one
Recently, a computer competed on Jeopardy and won, making people believe that they will sometime be replaced.  This seems ridiculous to me, because computers cannot possibly do everything a person can do.  They cannot "hand-make" anything.  If something goes wrong, they have a limited capacity to fix a problem.  They cannot make their routines better.  All things that humans can do.  I don't care about how far robots get because I know they will never be able to think and reason like real humans do.  You can disagree all you want, and I may as well be wrong, but guess what--I'm still right.
