| Anytning "virtual"? Or do you just mean video chat? You apparently didn't stay off the Internet entirely. You've been here on WP, for example. Close, but no cigar. I was referring to liberal crap where "virtual" :evil: activities replaced in-person activities Democrats took away... |

| This does not even vaguely surprise me; I’ve surmised as much for about a year now. Is anyone else here old enough to remember the Satanic Panic, back in the ‘80s-early ‘90s?? It was a defining feature of my childhood, and the preachers who screamed the loudest were also the ones who couldn’t keep t... |

I’m so sorry it went this way, Bea. I have a cousin lost (not dead yet, but might as well be) to heroin and meth and poor mental health choices and a taste for abusive men. It’s a whole special kind of suckage I wouldn’t wish on anyone.

| Nice to know other people struggled with it too. I moved out at 18 (dorm for one year, then bought a crappy trailer for like $3000 or $5000 or something because I HATED shared space) and thought I was some weird incompetent perma-kid because I was TERRIFIED. Now I know that’s pretty normal, and doub... |

If I recall my history correctly, the last time open global war was declared and the U.K. and the rest of Western Europe got the living s**t bombed out of them, it was the result of years of pacification, not wanting to start a war and mess with a m... |

| Sadly, I think you’ll be disappointed. They are commonly administered because they make people quiet and docile and “no trouble” (and sometimes borderline vegetative). And sometimes (often, in the medical field), when someone with an autism diagnosis says something, it’s dismissed as defiance and co... |

That's all right LOL. I have too much to lose; I'm staying strictly legal and the world will just have to put up with my twitchy, fidgety, not-making-eye-contact, dropping-my-kid-off-at-the-party-and-leaving autistic self.
Agree with you about the drug war, though. |
