Deaf Passengers / Inflight movies for a long haul flight
I am deaf and travel all over the world. Everytime I boarded the plane for a long haul flight. The inflight movies never have closed captioned for the deaf. Hearing people enjoy their inflight movies, why can't deaf people engjoy the inflight movies with closed captioned?

Thats a good question. I guess it's something to write about to the airlines. Just a question, if you are deaf, how are you able to type?

I never watch the in-flight movies; I bring my laptop and a handful of DVDs to watch. Very frequently, the passengers sitting next to me starts watching the movie, too. If I notice this, I turn on the captions in their native language which is always greately appreciated. My laptop doesn't have a second heasdet port so this is the only alternative for sharing the movie. Have you considered bringing your own DVD player & movies?

No of course not. I don't understand why people are mocking me. If your deaf, then you can't talk. If you can't talk, then how do you learn grammer? It's a very simple question, and it wasn't meant to offend, or hurt anyone.
Maybe I'm missing something?

We are living in an age where almost all children with any kind of handicap are taught to read and write, don't you remember last year the students of the largest US college for the deaf were picketing to remove the hearing Dean for one who was deaf.

No I dont remember that event. But how are the deaf able to learn to read and write? It's not like they can sound out letters. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I'm just curious as to how they do it.
