I'm curious: what do the general American public find more important - dismantling 'race barriers' or the 'glass ceiling'?

Oh and Harry Potter - evil, ee-vil, EVIL!
Do these buggers have a social life? What's their idea of fun exactly?
Afraid to tell you, but things like this rarely happen in Britain - we just get hung-up on every other PC matter... |

Big dilly if he didn't go to after-school clubs...no?
Pointless information to me.
Read that in the Daily Mail (don't sneer!). I'm pretty sure he's an Aspie. Just incase you're wondering he crossed his eyes in that photo for a joke. |

| Masturbation is a natural thing to do. It helps prepare the person for the woman that wants to be with them. I just learned though, that the more you masturbate (look at American Pie movie) the more you are prone to preejaculation problems. You are better off, going into social situations and talki... |

| Not entirely sure if this is something common in people with AS: there's always the temptation to relate personal experiences and the like to other people; find some, if not all of them agreeing; and then assuming that ALL people with AS have whatever it is.
