| This is pretty huge, in my opinion. Not sure how many people here are familiar with the new online fan-based culture for the show "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", but its a pretty huge movement that's been accelerating dramatically in the last year or so. The show itself teaches basic friendsh... |

| Well, we've both been ordered by the court to get a psychiatric evaluation, so that's supposed to be the end-all of the psychologically related accusations thrown around in court. I've suggested in court that perhaps she has paranoid schizophrenia (her brother has been diagnosed already, and her oth... |

| Aww... Poor derpy hooves. :cry: I know. That's a very emotionally compelling video. I mean, really - its a cartoon pony but I became a complete mess watching it. I watch these shows with my little 5 year old daughter, and its a nice bonding time for us. I find though that because the characters are... |

| Hey all. I could use some thoughts from the AS community on this one. I've got a situation where I'm needing to understand better what my peculiarities are all about, and its actually going to matter for a court case. Very brief history: I had a marriage which fell apart in 2011 after 15 years of a ... |

| Hey all. Its been a while since I've posted but I have a sticky situation I need to get some general consensus on in the AS community. First off, I'm not diagnosed, but I have considered myself as "AS probable" for about 5 years. I married a woman back in 1996 and we had a daughter in late 2007 who ... |

| Doesn't change the designated authority hierarchy. Its human beings' responsibility, as the authority, to be good stewards of the environment and animals and not be abusive. As I said, a true authority has the other's best interest at heart. When people choose to abuse this (as in the cases you are ... |

| Well if you look back to that point in history, it was the ancient Hebrews who complained and whined about being accountable to God directly and they wanted human judges and kings. So after much whining about it by the people, God gave them judges and kings like they wanted. Then the system of human... |

| When I was a little kid I thought God was the greatest authority and power. I was scared crapless of God. God basically demanded of his chosen subjects that they not worship other Gods or God will destroy them brutally. The thought of possibly making some mistake with the consequences of being tort... |

| You're not a scientologist by any chance, are you. :wink: While I agree that many areas of psychology borderline on quackery, I don't think its proper to attribute the heinous malicious intent that Scientology does to those who practice it. At worst, its merely misguided in a few areas, and as I lik... |

| This is a fascinating (and liberating) topic that I have spent quite a lot of time on in recent years. When you have a proper understanding of what authority truly is, you will feel amazingly free. The key is to distinguish between the term "authority" and the term "power". Authority has the right t... |

I don't know what's wrong with the WP board but most of the time my url and img tags don't work. I've seen it in other people's posts too. Yeah it was pretty cl... |
