| The only time I took a bus was when I was in Hawaii w/ my grandmother. Over there the bus isn't crap. In San Antonio, public transit isn't worth five cents to me. Taking a bus from my old house to my college campus would take 2 hours ONE WAY. |

Most of my senses are just the opposite: highly sensitive.
I'm not bothered too much by hot or cold weather though. |

| Spicy foods irritate the hell out of my senses. I had a job where I sometimes had to chop jalapeno peppers, and I would sneeze like crazy if the smell of them got into my nose. |

| Yes it is impossible to "cure" AS, and yes people calling for a "cure" need to STFU and put their attention toward something that really does threaten the lives of people who have it. |

| does your brain feel 'scattered' and you feel like it takes you time to gather your 'composure'. Are you easily 'startled'? Do you like to run into acquaintances unexpectedly...knowing that they will expect you to 'chat'? I don't have too much trouble with this. I do tend to get startled if I hear ... |

| It depends on who you "come out" to. I've told a few friends about it and might tell people at a job about it if I feel it would benefit me if they knew about it. There's really no reason to tell anyone else about it though. |

| But the Aspie guys - 100% of them- were way more into looks than any non-Asp guy I dated. I MEAN OBSESSED. Obsessed with sex, looks, who is hot- almost like they were stuck in teen-age mode. Flick them in the wrong spot and -boom- instant reaction. And age range of men I am talking of was 22- 47. P... |

| What is "more evolved" or "superior" is entirely subjective. Natural selection would probably act against a lot of us "highly evolved" humans if we were trapped in siberia without good shelter. I wouldn't be suprised to hear that brain function had slight variations in each race. I can understand th... |

| Micheal Savage should be fired, he most certainly deserves it for this. I'm not saying that because of what he said, but because of what could potentially come about as a result of what he said. Simply put, this isn't just a case of some radio shock-jock spewing hot air like it was when Don Imus mad... |

It's the "forbidden fruit" aspect of it.
I personally don't drink. Knowing the s**t it's done on both sides of my family I don't f*****g want to. |

| To anyone who said looks aren't important: you are lying. Even if you don't think you're lying, you're still lying to yourself.

Yeah, she doesn't have to look like the models on magazine covers. (most of those are photoshopped anyway)
As long as a girl looks fairly decent (as in, not a freak) and fairly healthy (not anorexic or obese), she has a chance. Everyone's going to have thier own individual preferences beyond that. |
