Call it Aspie pride, but I have no problem telling someone else about it.

| 1, Eastern Washington University. 2, I majored in history, which I have a four year degree in. 3, Well, that's a tricky one. I absolutely loved learning just for the sake of learning, and having the world open for me in ways I have not experienced since. On top of that, I found myself stepping from ... |

| I just learned the other night about James Dobson's co-founder of Focus on the Family, who was caught taking a trip to Europe with a male prostitute. Now, this gentleman, like Dobson and everyone else in their organization, is fanatically anti-gay, and believe homosexuality can be "cured." He claime... |

| I've known about how the shroud was debunked a few years ago, including that the head was too small to be real. I did not know about how the arms had been been made too long in order to cover the genitalia. So, as I see it, there are two choices: either the shroud was a fake, or our Lord and Savior ... |

| I've heard this sort of thing before. I personally believe there is no real correlation between age and autism. Rather, people with Asperger's, like myself, only learn to socialize later in adulthood. And so marry and have children later than most people. I equate my daughter's PDD-NOS with the same... |

| Every time I hear about the Tea Party, people talk about it like there is supposed to be a stigma attached to it. I am not in that movement, but I am curious as to what issues they are addressing that turn many people off from it. The only stigma I am aware of is the bigotry of the left-wing media ... |

| The stigma is, the tea baggers tend to be red necks who can't stand that we now have a black president. That sort of racial prejudice doesn't exactly go over well these days. That, and the fact that they oppose health care reform, and the government's cracking down on the insurance industry shows th... |

My wife doesn't drive much, because she finds it too stressful, so I'm usually the one behind the wheel. But that's okay, because driving is one of the few th... |

But you know, as time progressed, comprehension came much more easily for me. I went away loving the bard, appreciating him... |

Regarding Lovecraft's racism - yes, he had his prejudices - but so did our grandparents and great grandparents who also lived in that era. The fact is though, he was willing to learn and grow. He married a Jewish la... |
