| Is it Autism Spectrum Disorder or Autism Spectrum Disorders . They seem to use it in a confusing interchangeable way. Language Majors help me out here... isn't it weird that an acronym (ASD) can mean singular or plural? But to OP, you or anyone can call yourselve's whatever you like. I believe its a... |

| Obama's excellent adventure. It's Arab Spring and the French, yes the French, have already started military action to support the ouster of the Gadhafi government (dictatorship). Not to be shamed by inaction, Obama authorizes America's universal response to everything, airstrikes. Things got ugly fa... |

| I agree with his first two comments (if they are his). Partially agree on the third. I think some birthers were racist, but some where just anti-muslim which is being against a certain religion, not racist. I also think some were neither and just believed the DNC was trying to pull a fast one. There... |

| One of them is a former Senator and Secretary of State. She is supremely qualified. You might not like her politics but she's just as qualified as Obama, McCain, or Romney. She was elected to the Senate in a state where she never lived. A little fishy huh? Essentially a DNC manipulation/appointment... |

Laying aside he is using the most pathetic crybaby defense I ever heard, he has valid concerns about his place in the USAs fine correctional system. He certainly is at risk an... |

| I have to answer in the past tense, but yes I absolutely did desire a partner. For me it was like the missing piece to make up for my lack of social needs. Or put another way it was the one social need I had and desired. And finding a partner met the need and still does. |

| Who do you mean by 'people'? People here, somewhere else, in general? If you are talking about here, I'd say its false statement/assumption. People are endlessly giving full and thoughtful responses to questions. As good as I have seen anywhere and better then any NT site I've been on. Now sometimes... |
