| I don't think that it's a good idea for Facebook and Twitter to shut down for a day to support autism. As a guy diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, I would be annoyed if I could not use social media. Why punish those with autistic spectrum disorders? We use Twitter and Facebook too. I'm sure there's... |

| I can't eat sandwich spread or fruit cake. Both foods make me gag and/or throw up. Also, peanut butter makes me easily irritable and sensitive to touch. I guess it's okay since I don't miss any of those foods anyway. |

| I'm about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weigh roughly 145 pounds. My gluten (wheat) and casein (dairy) allergies prevent me from eating foods that would make me gain weight. |

A few people brought this to my attention, and I apologized and explained that I was not sending the e-mails, but that someone had spammed, or hacked my e-mail accoun... |

| I could have started driving when I was 16, but I started a year later because I did not pick up the required form at school. I probably didn't care about driving that much. At 17, when I just started driving, I had 2 accidents with my dad's truck, mostly because I was nervous. One time, I backed ou... |

| Actually, I would have been open to a relationship with a Mexican woman had I not met a woman from the Philippines. My Filipina friend and I chatted online (sometimes video chat) for 6 months before we met in person. Yes, I'm sure that she would like to come to the USA, but she is very kind and acce... |

| I've heard that happiness comes from within, and also that you must love yourself before you can love someone else. If you feel really lonely if you are not in a relationship, then yes, I would suggest trying to find a mate. Personally, I'm really shy, so I usually do better with meeting someone onl... |

| Hi, thanks for sharing that article. I'm glad that the young man did not get into serious trouble. I can understand why he would get irritated by the fire alarms. When I'm at work, it often bothers me to hear announcements on the loudspeaker. By the way, I'm a Christian too. |

| I'm currently in a relationship with a very nice lady from the Philippines. As an American, white male, maybe I am more attracted to an Asian woman than an American woman. It's probably because I appreciate someone who is of a different culture than myself. |

| Hi. Personally, I believe that you must ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins (all humans have sinned) with a sincere heart and ask him to come into your life and be your Lord and Savior. I don't think that someone who is saved will go to hell for not being baptized, but I would suggest talking to ... |

| It really annoys me when I'm at work and people are talking and/or laughing in the background. Sometimes it is difficult for me to concentrate on my work. |
