| I have to agree with one of the final statements made by the above individual. Not only can wealth be inherited but so are genetics which contribute to health, intelligence and athletic ability. I inherited great genes for intelligence, am I in the same category as Paris Hilton due to her coming fro... |

| Huh! Well maybe true but it seems that a lot of the people on WP do not reflect the majority of Aspies, many are young and seem into fringie stuff like the occult, ghosts, alien abductions, conspiracies and so on. I'm pretty science and tech oriented although I do like sci fi, fantasy and so on. I j... |

| I agree and part of my point actually. However, any pay that does come from a job is as a result of the individual exchanging a portion of their life for the pay. Taxes then are somebody telling individuals that a portion of their life must be taken from them and then used for some other purpose. I ... |

| Gold is nice because gold always has value because people like shiny stuff. Establishing value for "liking shiny stuff" is like drawing lines in the sand. Perhaps true but it worked fairly well for most of the world for thousands of years. The current Fiat (car based) system is broken. Gold, oil, a... |

| What about the point that money generally comes from a job, which is basically a mortgage on your life? The time you spend working a job could be spent on other activities and would if you were not receiving pay. The pay then is actually a reflection of the amount of time you have used for the activ... |

| Fnord it does seem that way doesn't it? Maybe we can sue this as a start of a science conversation? Query, does sci fi count as well? I like hard sci-fi like "Inconstant moon" not the soft crap that's really just fantasy with lasers. Here's a topic, if science does in the near future manage to get g... |

| Time to probably sound weird thirty I guess. To me libido is like a compulsion. Immediately after sex it's gone and I really have no desire to be touched, looked at or anything else. Maybe I am a typical guy, but I think I actually become sort of asexual at that point. Starting soon thereafter thoug... |

| I never used to get humor at all. I never got the joke, never liked comedians and all that, and it got really old being a "robot". SO, I treated humor like all other social situations, I sat back and decided to "learn" humor. I memorized jokes, watched comedians, watched people watch comedians, prac... |

| -10. Had very bad day, actually tried to talk about it with "friends" was told "Hey, I had a bad life to but I don't go on about it". Evidentially sharing issues with friends in a supposed support-group like setting is not socially acceptable. My lack of social awareness appears to not be limited to... |
