| well, the China Study seems highly biased and I can saftely say that it mainly serves to promote and feed a vegan's agenda, so I would take that source to be highly unreliable, not to mention that the author may seem to promote the idea of some sort of conspiracy theory from governments and univers... |

| While "morality" of dietary choice I believe is simply a mater of opinion, the comparision of an apple to a cow is a bit silly. A better matching in that case would be a cow's milk to an apple tree's apple. Both are the source of nutrients for it's young. The tree is not even aware that it has "you... |

| All I know is being a nice guy is getting me no where, I'm as nice as I can be and I get jack for it. If a became evil and was mean to others, I'd be noticed more. I may follow your path..... well, not really. I do think about it sometimes though. There's a difference between "being nice" and "lett... |

| there seem to be a surprising amount of homosexuals and bisexuals in online Asperger's communities that I've frequented (this one included). I suspect that people with AS are just as likely to be queer or not queer as the rest of the population. However, perhaps people with AS are either less able ... |

| I don't really agree, there's just much more gays today then there were years ago. The population seems to be rising, look at the state I live in. The population of people who are out of the closet is certainly rising. That is likely a result of increased acceptance of being openly queer: people ar... |

| It doesn't matter if you're vegan, you're still killing life and you're still inflicting a lot of pain - it doesn't go away simply because you can register it. There's a big difference between killing carrots and potatoes compared to killing cows and pigs. Plants have no central nervous system. The... |

| What is wrong with approaching someone who is better looking? I said "about the same age" and "about as attractive. This is a good rule of thumb. Of course it's reasonable to want to "aim high", to a certain degree. But there comes a point where it's clearly inappropriate. Pretty women in their ear... |

| If you come into work dressed in a suit when you don't normally wear one, people will think you're going to an interview for a new job. It's OK to dress better than your coworkers, but don't dress better than your boss. These are excellent points. The first one could be mitigated perhaps by just we... |

| Women, how do you feel about overtly sexual, socially "weird" advances? I don't think this is phrased very well. Things that make a flirty advance more appropriate: - when you are about the same age and about as attractive as the person you're approaching - when you're in a casual social situation ... |

She may do it out of necessity, but the real issue is that he shouldn't have bothered her in the first place. Many men, most men, even in the NT universe, are ... |
