| I have lost a couple of kilos of fat during the last months. I feel as aggressive as ever. If somebody points out that such anecdotal evidence hold little value I'll probably blow my top. |

| [The book isn't written by god. My take on that particular aspect is that a book actually written by God would be far better written than the Bible. If you can create the Universe, with all the planets, plants, animals and people including Shakespeare, you would surely be able to write better than ... |

| Football matters much more if you refer to proper international football, not the american version where you carry around an eggshaped ball in your hands. |

| I believe it's important to have self-knowledge and know what your weaknesses and strenghts are. I think you should tell an intellectually gifted kid with supposedly "poor social skills" (autism) that she's got "poor social skills" but she can use her intelligence as a tool to wo... |

| As an intellectually "gifted" person with autism I haven't had the same success in life as an equally "gifted" person without autism. But I have had a great life compared to a less "gifted" autistic person. That makes me think of my intelligence as a blessing. |

| The hairdresser is there to your service. No the other way around. It's a similar situation like riding in a taxi. If you politely let them know that you are not in the mood for small talk it's their job to be quit and leave you alone. Some people even talk in their phone while having their har cut.... |

| Good points here. "Good" and "evil" are relative to what kind of being you are. For example, if you are a mouse, then cats are evil, but not if you're a human with a pet cat. I disagree with your example. Your moral judgement shouldn't depend on how something affects you persona... |

| ^In some countries it's much harder for them to fire you for doing something wrong if you "pull the autism card". You can argue it's discrimination. I wouldn't tell them before I had landed the job. |
