| From what I gather, Simon Baron--Cohen is prejudiced against Asperger sufferers. |

| America is not, and has never been, a Christian Nation. If anything, it is built upon Deism. Now, Deism posits that there is a Creator, but does not credit any of the Sacred Texts-- or Holy Books-- with anything of value or truth. |

| I have, since I was very young, desired to write an entire series of either Fantasy or Science Fiction. That would really be very neat to be able to do. |

| When I was younger, I thought it would be really fun to try to write science fiction. I have even read many books about how to do just that. They were really enjoyable! 8) Science Fiction is really cool. I used to think about writing a series of novels, set in a Galactic Empire. There was something ... |

| I have always loved that series of novels. I am beginning to wonder, though, if it was a reflection of JRR Tolkien's medievalist worldview? Still, he did create much of the whole trend towards Fantasy Fiction that has gone, unabated, to this very day. |

| A couple of the more interesting ideas, in all of the history of religion are, of course, the Jewish Conception of the Chosen People and the Hindu Conception of the Aryan Race. Now, to be fair, many religions have very ethnocentric views of the world. What I find fascinating is the contrast between ... |

| Do any of you have nightmares about how you have been picked on, in School, when you were much younger? I am just curious! There is, after all, such a thing as PTSD! |

| Could the Nerd stereotype been an early attempt to describe what is now called Asperger's Syndrome? I am beginning to wonder about that. They do tend to specialize in things, rather than become Polymaths. |

| I probably should not mention the Medieval Knights anywhere near where they actually have courses on Medieval History. After all, nowadays the Chivalrous Knight is every bit of a contradiction in terms as the concept of a Noble Savage, due to new research into that period. Still, it is really intere... |

| If Feminist women hate men so much, and perceive men as their oppressors, than how come they mimic men? I always thought that was very puzzling! |

| I really felt hurt, when they started to describe Aspergers as Extreme Male Brain. After all, I began to think that Feminists might think that there stereotypes about Men in general, are somehow especially true of us, on the Spectrum. Indeed, I wonder where the whole Extreme Male Brain trope origina... |

| How can I become a professional Science Fiction writer? I always wanted to do that, ever since I was very young. Do any of you have any ideas about how to go about that? Another possible career choice: an Historian. |

| I remember, visiting Great Britain back in 1986, that I picked up a copy of a certain magazine, which featured Judge Dredd. I loved it immediately! Also, I am into writing Science Fiction, too. |
