| This might be plausable except for the fact that the term "autistics should" isn't what was searched, it was "autistic people should", and that is a common term that people use. There's no way to know if what you're suggesting could be the case, but it sure as h**l didn't happen until people starte... |

| I put "almost never" because, even though I haven't had any special interests that have caused me trouble in several years (mostly because my attachment to them isn't extreme now), I did when I was younger. My most significant issues now have to do more with executive functioning problems. While I s... |

| The fact that Boxxy is faking is irrelevant. What upsets me is that these kids would be scared of someone who naturally acted that way - even though someone like that (probably would be ADHD) would be weird but not dangerous. Eh, they're teenagers. They say some bizarre things. I don't think anyone... |

| I don't know that I disapprove of it being taken down, but that's mostly because I feel like Google needs to work on auto-complete to avoid "oddball" search phrases in general. No matter what you type, once you get past three words, you start picking up bizarre search suggestions that probably feed ... |

| I feel like it really depends on when he was assassinated, who did the assassinating, and who took his place. You could end up without a Cold War, you could end up with a Russian leader willing to make enormous concessions to the Germans in exchange for peace, and you could end up with a madman who ... |

| Kings and Chronicles, too, are a bit skip-able from that standpoint). Really? You didn't like the stuff about Saul, David and Solomon? This also seems to be the part of the Bible where we start to get somewhat-verifiable history. Saul, David, and Solomon are kind of interesting, but they get the ro... |

| Failing to complete high school is never a good decision. Trust me on that. I know people who have gone down that road, some of them very intelligent and very talented, who ended up unable to find meaningful employment. I'm sure that your skill level is very high, but at the same time, people make h... |

| Again, like I said, there are some good stories in the Bible, but it was not compiled as, or meant to be, an "entertaining" storybook. The poster I was quoting was objecting to the Bible being poorly written (not the same thing as having uninteresting stories from a conceptual point of view); I arg... |

| It's a pretty good list, but I think it might be a better idea to assign point values to these rather than just to count them up and see how many fall on each side. If a child that young is reasoning abstractly, there's a pretty good chance that they're at least above average intellectually. On the ... |

| From what I saw, it was okay but not great (granted, I ended up starting in the middle of Exodus). The portrayal of the pharaoh as overweight rather than a sleek, healthy god-king was pretty realistic, given that what we know about Egyptian kings suggests that they were a bit on the hefty side. Othe... |

| Most movies based off of the Bible are dull and uninteresting because they're produced by religious studios with an extremely small budget. Yes, you can make a good movie on a small budget, but you have to really know what you're doing, you have to know your limits, and everyone involved has to be t... |

These all kind of bleed together, though, because I... |
