| Nothing about me is unique or even particularly interesting. No matter how bizzarre or eccentric something about me seems, there'll always be others who share that trait, and several others as well One in a million means that there'll be 6,446 others like that one, enough to fill a small city.

Hmm.
One of the kids with Autism I know (sorta) goes to a residential.
He can't communicate at all though aside from by action vs. inaction. |

| Campaign contributions are bribes. Not always. In small amounts, they're endorsements of a platform. I set the $$$ limit low so that wealthy people wouldn't be able to contribute more than anybody else. Poor people can't contribute as well. And if you happen to own the press, then unless you're an ... |

| Ahh, sorry about that, I should've put that in quote marks, I thought I had. It was off a TV channel site in the Sacramento area, so it didn't have publication dates etc. Most of the time I write "From CNN" etc. Thanks for that. Ahh. Still, I'd believe that CNN said something like that. Media, like... |

Why does that website look like a satire site to me?
The article seemed serious, but do they really have editorials by Jerry Falwell? I didn't realize that he wrote anything.
Though perhaps it's just that the name sounds like "Weekly World News" to me. |

Quote: The more skeptical wonder if it is all a hoax.
This certainly seems like a highly reliable source here.
You have a highly improbable claim, and it's assumed to be true, although some may have a few doubts. |

I often get depressed, and the psychologist at school says I have anxiety.
How to deal with it? I usually don't.
I just break down continually until I finally get past the cause. |

| I'm not sure I understand. Why would it create more outrage to grant certain people the things they want? Because those people would be in an unpopular minority, and the majority would find it unfair. Yes, it wood create outrage, but not outrage against the law. It wood create prejudice against tha... |

| You're right, #1-3 are very strict, and probably unconstitutional. They are unfortunately necessary to save our form of government, and return power to the people, so I would accomplish them with Constitutional Amendments. #4 is needed because of the gradual power grab by the Federal Government.

| It would be innapropriate to ask an adult who has traits if they have it for some reason, and little kids won't know. Since having AS is nothing to be ASHAMED of, why wouldnt we just ask everyone, no matter the age group or whatever? Because it's neurotypically innappropriate to ask something like ... |

Quote: Today, security issues that once took 18 months to overcome are being handled in a matter of weeks, according to Betsy Davis, the agency's No. 2 recruiting official.
And concerns that sound like it would take a normal person no more than two hours.
Bureaucracy at its finest. |

| Just quick comment, can't reply to replies until Saturday unless I find an open WLAN, as I'll be in Florida: Rape is quite common among the animal kingdom. And early humans certainly raped. Early wars were about land, food, and women. Therefore, I'd say that the deep inhibition most humans (even wit... |

| I'm not particularly planning to become friends with this person. I was just noting that he probably has Asperger's syndrome. I have discovered having Asperger's syndrome is not much of a commonality if you don't share much else in common with someone. Quite true. I have the fortune of a large numb... |
