| If its from a mobile no its defiantly a scam call. Why would an organisation that would normally use a call centre with a landline, be calling from a mobile? would never happen so just hang up & block the number. |

| It’s a silly idea designed to appeal to an older generation unable to come to terms with fact society has changed. National Service existed as part of a wider culture of nationalism, less individualism and choices of early mid 20th century. All these factors are gone and unlikely to come back. Also ... |

| I tried to get legal advice by emailing online, but they are often first page results and not local to my area. They only answer the initial email or phone up. I’m housebound so unless my sister is willing to take me to a solicitor’s? I only have a few hundred pounds a month spare, is that enough? ... |

One advantage would be it would concentrate minds on military action.
People and politicians are happy to send others to war and die. They would be less willing and more careful if it was their relatives that could potentially be in the firing line, which would be slightly more likely with this |

| You use the sign £ so assume you live in the UK. My advice would be to visit the Citizens Advice bureau, they have one in every large town and can give you advice on benefits etc.. Stay away from anything financial coming from the Internet, i.e financial advisors , bitcoin , investments that will go... |

| There is no world in which a cure for autism exists where the people being cured will have any say in the matter. A treatment powerful enough to cure autism is going to be incredibly traumatic for anybody that's old enough to consent to the treatment in the first place. It is highly unlikely that i... |

| The issue is one of personal choice. Some people however want to impose their own demands on others which is wrong. I've always been critical of those in the ND movement who wish to ban the idea of curing autism and the idea of treating autism. Likewise claiming everyone with autism should want a c... |

Those who complain about being made less autistic miss the point. The world doesn't care about our autism, try to help... |

But despite that, we rarely see anyone talk about the marginalization of autistic people. Yep. The... |
