| That's very forward thinking. In a few years maybe you'll get a pat on the head and a bowl of rice when they're running things here. Why would they do anything to harm their biggest customer? Taking aside the question of why , the how is still tricky for them, as millions of soldiers cannot simply ... |

| Are people in China better off than people in North Korea? Personally, I prefer my oppressed Asians to at least be fed and clothed, so I'll continue to buy Chinese goods guilt free. That's very forward thinking. In a few years maybe you'll get a pat on the head and a bowl of rice when they're runni... |

| I have questions about memory, and how Asperger's affects memory. Haven't done research into this but I would like to, for now I'm tossing it out to ask if others have researched it, have information or good links, or would like to share your own experience. For me - I tend to remember too much it ... |

| If you have superior skills then and they still don't want to deal with you, just take your skills elsewhere. |

I would have been more likely to believe she accidentally closed the door on it after it got in if she was busy and not paying attention. But that would still be pretty F'ed up. |

Nobody added it. And some areas have radioactive stuff in the water from urani... |

There are a number of possible problems with using them (small print regarding pay and conditions, difficulties nd complications with contracts, job security, variation in how knowledgable/helpful staff are... |

| You would think that going with a job agency would be a good thing, however I registered for an disability job program and all it did was hurt my already low self-esteem when it comes to my job search. In fact, the experience was so bad, my mom wants to complain. In the course of only three appoint... |

| People on prescribed lithium should be monitored as it can build up in the body. My aunt almost died a few years ago from taking the dosage she was prescribed. She was in a coma for 6 weeks. I assume he's talking about misiscule amounts (or maybe not), but he must be insane if he thinks this is a s... |

| It really astounds me how there are so many cases of teachers bullying special needs students - AND THOSE ARE JUST THE ONES THAT ARE REPORTED. It doesn't seem to be tied to the age, gender, or ethnicity of the teacher either. I'm willing to wager that for every story made public of teachers bullyin... |

Although our pres is such a loon that he probably thinks he can do this sort of thing anyway. He's already had two Americans assassinated for suppos... |
