Long, long ago, in a planet far, far away, people cared for one another. Then, something terrible developed . . . money, real estate, and polititions. This created the need for war, national defense and that favorite phrase used by "leaders" everywhere, Self Sacrifice. (That's you and me folks) YOU have been volunteered to sacrifice your ability to "carry on" in a world that once opperated on love and justice. If President Bush's twin daughters were born deaf, removing CC from DVD's would not even be "on the table." Those who love power, lust after money and control of other human beings care not one wit about the bottom layers of the pyramid that suports military budgets that steal medicine from the old and infirm. Take away, chip by chip (so as to not be noticed)all things helpful to those in need. Better to first totally destroy some other nation and then spend "into the ground" billions upon billions to re-build a foreign land by taking benefits from the poor of the "mother" country. Let us pray that we do not begin to call the USA "Der Fatherland"

I definetely agree with putting closed captions on all dvds, it is unfair for us, deaf people to be unable to enjoy to watch the films w/o cc. How can hearing people hear and enjoy the films but us the deaf people?! I am a movie buff and always watch them w/ cc on dvds...pls DON'T forget us deaf people...let us all enjoy the entertainment for once of all! Treat us equal like hearing people, do not put us deaf people away from enjoying our movie time!

we vote in america why take our freedom away that we need to be able to understand and communicate and read the cc? however people and producer do not really understand the deaf culuture how will they feel if the deaf culture took over the america and hearing people can't do anything feel limit. we are all equal no matter who we are the hearing people should realized that it is over in the pass and be fair to counutiue with the cc. the bottom line is i support the cc for anything we need to be able to see and understand what is happening. without cc how can the h____ we understand what is going on? let the freedom speak loud to the american people and polican too that we are all equal. we are not dumb we are a lot smarter than they are. let kick some ass and counutie to have cc on dvd and tv.

Each time I go to Hollywood Video desparelty look for cc on the rented dvd movies. When I want this specific movie on dvd, there is no cc feature. It upsets me and I do not want to rent it. I drop it right away and left for home in low self esteem. How can hearing people enjoy while we are NOT? I prefer CC rather than subtitle. Reason why CC is preferable is because they can quote who says or will say phone riniging in background. CC provides more specific information rather than subtitle. Pls comfort deaf community and ensure thier needs will be meet with no problem. I truly believe that you find your heart to share our struggle and put yourself in our shoe. Pls show your "Scout's Honor" that it will be a promise that cc will always be in ALL DVD! Supopse if you become senior citizen, I guarantee you will understand us better so pls do not let it be too late!! Your time to this matter is truly appreciated! Thanks

I agree that DVD or Videotape require to have the closed caption because deaf could not hear the volume and it is good for the kids who are hard of hearing or deaf to learn the English language. It will be challenge for them to learn the English language, it is part of our deaf culture.

All of sudden, why do you stop producing CC/text/subtitles on DVDs? Are you desperate to save money to use other funds instead of spending on CC/Text/Subtitling on DVDs? HUH?! Come on, it is not just for deaf, it can used for (hearing or hard of hearing) senior citizens! Think of other needed people!!

I think so the deaf people need to read grammar english and reading, too. If the hearing people can see the deaf people don't understand what did DVD movie say anything to them. It is not impossible for where is the education for the deaf people need captioned closed with dvd. It is not fair to the deaf people are paying more money and waste to watch without the Captioned Closed with DVD. Where is the Captioned Closed company respect the deaf people.
