I don't get offend easily and often laugh at very improper jokes. But I will ignore the question if I feel it is a attempt to offend me.

Exactly, don't feed internet trolls.

With how many people keep asking me about my first language and have told them that my first language is sign language a few times. I have finally decided I'm going to let it out... Yes I'm a deaf guy. So go ahead and ask whatever you want to.

I am deaf in one ear from an explosion while I served in the Marine Corps. My question is,do you feel it has sharpened you other senses being hearing impaired?

Why are there so many blind and amputee wrestlers but so few deaf ones? You ever troll people that are talking to you? Can you speak well? Relatively speaking of course, very few people speak impeccably.

It pretty much boil down to social skill. Many deaf people have incredibly poor English Mine isn't great, but most deaf people English is really bad. Here's a few samples of a post from a deaf person who is on my friend list on FB:
-I love the muppet movie no cc cody school I will buy movie sooon
-Casper is a very adorable, cute, special and deaf dog. He looks like from Disney's Bolt movie. ^_^
-Today I was returned to the church in Henderson since Easter Day 2012!! My friends was happy to see me!! Smile! God bless me! God is good!

Also many deaf people doesn't have parents that can communicate with them so their develop in language start when they are around 5 or 6 and in school. So they doesn't really socialize with hearing kids but rather with other deaf kids. Now after doing this for years, they become so comfortable in deaf community that they never try to venture out. By the time they hit high school age, they often are clueless about socializing with hearing people and extremely awkward when it come to that. So needless to say they aren't too eager to join sport and play with other hearing students.

Do I ever troll person that talk to me? Sometime... I would just nods and pretend to understand them then walk away. More of a defense mechanic than a attempt to piss osmeone off.
 
Can you detect accents when lip-reading?

If you could pick a sound to be the one sound you could here just once very clearly. What do you think it would be?

That may be a weird question, and you may not know because not hearing them you have no idea. But maybe a persons voice or something.

I don't know, it was the best question I could think of.

Tough question to answer. Honestly probably anything with water running or the beach since I love being in the water and find the way water feel when it flow to be incredibly peaceful and nice.

Oh yes! People say my laugh sound really strange. Some people seems to love it some hate it. As for noise during sex time, I've never been told anything beside that I'm a bit louder than most, but I have been told that my voice is rather deep so... That may be why.

Thanks for your service. As for the question, yes I believe it do. I believe it make my vision much more sensitive to movement and colors as I can notice small change in those that most cannot. Also I can pick up vibrate much more easier. Sometime it get really annoying, especially if no body can hear or feel whatever I'm picking up.
