Well I've learnt something on WP. I've learnt that lack of empathy and understanding is a normal human trait to do it to those who are a bit different to us. It is NOT a unique Aspie trait at all. I keep saying this but nobody seems to get it. Aspies find understanding and empathy difficult to NTs ... |

What in the world are we (you guys) talking about? Semantics mostly. It helps sharpen the mind and focus one's perspective on the world. Aghogday is of the position that positive illusions can brings benefits to people. I have tried to tell him that his examples of positive illusions are however no... |

a vast majority of NTs are just like that. they are trying to tear the autism community apart. don't let it happen. we must support our lower functioning bretheren even when people try to turn us against them. It isn't the majority aspie48. :/ Most don't care. Deal with peopl as they come, not as y... |

Yes, I agree, the technology is improving to accommodate communication through alternate means, but if those people who still cannot speak/effectively communicate their needs were ignored, that would be casting them off. The majority of people that cannot speak with autism are young children, and t... |

You guys are making a false representation of NT's. Yes, there are NT buttholes out there, but auties and Aspies can be too. I don't deny that some NT's like to wipe us out; people like Autism Speaks or just plain rude NT's, but saying you want to wipe them out back is just as bad as them saying th... |

I doubt it is because they are lazy or stupid. It is because they have no direction and haven't taken up the right attitudes. And why is that? Because they are lazy or because they are stupid. I have direction and right attitudes attained on my initiative and by my own efforts. If I can do it, so c... |

I don't like police either. They can be the biggest bullies around. When there's real crime going around, all they do is sit their lazy butts on their cruisers eating donuts. :roll: I would say that this is a somewhat overused stereotype. But then again it might hold a grain, or indeed a whole whea... |

Is bullying rage-based? It's superiority-based. people feel god-like from doing to people what they want, and of course Humans being Humans causing pain is the natural expression of this. It is often transferred. I.e. a bully was bullied or is made to feel inadequate in some way or is disillusioned... |

It takes MORE vegetable matter/land to produce the meat they're eating now.... As a side note, if something isn't done about population growth, we're headed for Malthusian catastrophe. Soon, we won't have enough of anything to sustain the crush of humanity. The first is true. The second is untrue. ... |

Most of the unsuccessful are so, because they are lazy or stupid. Some truly are the victims of ill-fortune. It is important to make this distinction. Now THIS is class warfare. I am inclined to help the truly unfortunate. Why? Someday it may be my turn to take a fall through no fault of my own. Th... |
