| If she didn't want a child she shouldn't have got herself pregnant, but that's a separate issue from getting rid of a baby just because it could have autism. Because having a baby is so damn easy? You just sit around for 9 months and then the baby comes out - no pain, no health complications, no ri... |

| Sometimes I like it. I get into certain types of clothing at times so it can be fun finding the type of clothes I like at stores. Usually, though I know what I need and just go in and get it and it's neither fun nor boring just necessary. What I hate is shopping with other people - I like to be quic... |

| Sun Zi warned against unsustainable imperialism for purely practical reasons. When colonies are far away, the military and financial costs of maintaining them will exceed the profits that the colony brings in. Because the colonised people are too far away from the home power's influence, it makes it... |

| I think "author avatar" has been a part of literature since the beginning of time - if it's done with subtleness, usually the author can get away with it. The reason that I find Mary Sues so annoying is that they usually aren't necessary to the plot, but are written in such a manner that the plot is... |

| Cats like heights - they have those scratching posts that are pretty tall - if you get one of those and coat it with catnip, it might go for that instead of the furniture. Also, keeping anything out of kitty's reach is essential - to a cat - things are either food or toys or both. I leash-trained my... |

| It's classified as a disorder that starts in childhood because it has to start in childhood by definition as it's a disorder of development. As to why it gets portrayed as something only kids get - I blame money and media - images of poor, little, adorable kids trapped by their autism raise funds an... |

I'd be able to control everyone, to corrupt their hearts.. to make them my fearful servants. I'd have the armies of Mordor under my dominion and my ever-faithful Nazgul.. oh wait.. that's if I had the One Ring.. oh well... it's as plausible as me suddenly becoming NT  |
