Why do deaf people ignore others?

Deaf people are no different than other people, except for the fact they can't hear. They don't ignore others on purpose anymore than anyone else. They are deaf and don't always know when they are being spoken to.

Likewise, plenty of deaf folks believe that hearing people are ignoring them. A lot of people feel uncomfortable around deaf people since they cannot speak their language. The hearing people get in their groups and get to talking, and forget about those who cannot hear them. That is why there is even a bit of a deaf supremacy attitude in some deaf circles, because they feel excluded by those who can hear. Some take that attitude to a militant extreme, like the couple who wanted genetic engineering done to ensure they had a deaf child, and the deaf folks who consider people with cochlear implants to be sellouts.

Why do deaf people sign if they can speak vocally?

Being able to speak vocally works OK when a deaf person is speaking TO a hearing person but when both people are deaf neither can hear what the other person is saying. Signing therefore enables communication between deaf people and would be a better way for a hearing person to say something TO a deaf person. If you can hear why don't you learn how to sign!
