| The best thing indeed is to be yourself-in theory, but it simply doesn't work in reality. In practice people don't believe in the story of ''being yourself'', they want you to be just like them. I'd love to be able to be myself, but people don't like that, they want everyone and everything to be pre... |

| I'm both gifted ans autistic, and I think there might be some neurological overlap. Many extremely intelligent children are also autistic. It's interesting, I'd like to know how it works, there seems to be some connection. |

| I think multiculturalism a a concept, in theory, is a very good idea. It enriches a culture and broadens the view of citizens. However, in practice it often goes wrong, mostly when the cultures have totally different opinions on ethics, politics, the role of religion in politics etc. Multiculturalis... |

Whilst you think there isn't a real problem, many people in Holland disagree and think we are in danger. @ Keith Indeed you could vote for other parties, but you cannot ignore or stop an increas... |

| Well, the problem is that Islam doesn't have a model for living in a non-Muslim world. Originally, the idea was that you conquered territories through fire and sword, and became the majority. I think they learned that one from us...;) Islam is a religion, and not a political party; there's no 'gree... |
