| Well, I'm still alive, so I guess I just somehow learned to live with it along the way at some point? I mean, people are born with Asperger, so even if we don't know we have it, we still start learning how to live with it from the very beginning. It's not like learning to live with a physical disabi... |

| Are you able to travel on your own? As in, can you navigate in airports, get to your hotel and get around in your destination on your own? (Use of google maps and other helpful things is allowed.) If the answer is no, then there's no excuses here and it's just a fact that you can't travel on your o... |

| Most children of immigrants assimilate well into the culture of their adopted country. Sometimes, the parents do, too. Especially when they come to the country very young, or are born in the adopted country, they learn to speak the new language thoroughly, frequently without an “accent.” They usual... |

^ Aah oops, I reread what I wrote and realized what it sounded like. 
I meant it as a comment to the Emperor's New Clothes -part. As in, the other group being the ones that think traveling makes them look good, so they do it for that even if they don't really enjoy it. |

| Unless some Islamic religious extremists throw large coups all over Europe and take over, no. The 50s are just too soon. Might happen further in the future, though. |

Guess their skin is too white to those people's liking. :roll: I have to point out that this statement is not accurat... |

| For those who think abortion is to be allowed if it puts a woman's life at a way higher risk than a pregnancy normally would but not otherwise: what about an unwanted pregnancy's effects on the woman's mental health? What if, being denied abortion, the woman gets suicidal? If there's a reason to dou... |

| I'm beginning to hate being white too. And British. In the UK it's actually racist to be patriotic. It's become such a multicultural country now, that the NHS is overwhelmed and the Brits feel like we're pushed to the side. But if we say anything, we're being racist. Kinda like that in Finland too,... |

| ... What about a situation where the woman who gets pregnant IS the rapist? Has anyone here thought of that? I mean, it's far rarer for the rapist to be the one to get pregnant than it is for the victim, but I've heard of a case like that, so... If a woman has sex with a man without his consent, ... |
