Scientific research shows that it went through significant editing. |

| Dropping bombs only creates more refugees, more problems and more anger towards the west. Not the way to go. But will show ISIS and all religious fanatics who is the boss:D We tried that strategy, it does not work. It's worked on Japanese Nazis. Irrelevant. We've spent billions bombing Syria, Iraq,... |

| these terrorist attacks never seem to stop. perhaps it is a time to go back to the drawing board and come up with a new idea to stop them from happening.

| I think it is sad and they learnt that kalashnikovs are more effective than bombs in terms of casualties (unless you have a massive payload). The power is terrorism is in panic though. Paris need to do would something about it suburbs, we all need to do tackle this murderous death cult. Personally ... |

I always thought of smartassery as a NT weapon against AS folks. Not the other way around.
NT's do it knowingly whilst AS folks do it unknowingly.
Look at this autistic kid, he comes across as a complete as*hole:

| Interesting metaphor. Does "like a raisin" mean "old and wrinkled". Or does it mean "dark" (ie racial)? Ethiopians generally are darker than Arabs on the Arabian peninsula. Of course green grapes turn into yellow raisins. Which are light colored. Maybe means old and wr... |

If you see beings interpreted as translucent, or giant and translucent, it seems like a literary device - ... |
