That's OK do not believe me, do not follow me or anything else. I know what I know and I have spoken with other Aspies who share my ideas because like me, they have developed their abilities. It could very well be that because of our high IQ (I have 136) and our high education, we can understand better who and what we are and are not afraid to listen to our inner sense.
You believe what you believe and we shall do the same. My abilities shall rise up as they will and I do not need a prophet.

Yes and that is no surprise either given that dead wrong lunatics are quite common. Heck, I consider Marx to be dead wrong so really I still do not trust the fringes unless there is strong proof. It is one thing to be blind under the cloak of the status quo, it is another to be suspicious of the multitude of voices surrounding us. You are no Jesus, and I do not follow.

I do not feel sorry for myself. I just know my weaknesses and my strengths and plan to work on both. Do I advocate pity? Do I advocate pessimism? Or do I simply distrust "visionaries"? I can see worlds unfold if I chose, that doesn't mean that I see the future though.

You wouldn't know Jesus even if you saw him! Because you expect him to look like these pics you see all over the place... What if the next 'Jesus' is a woman? Or an Aspie? How the heck would you know to recognize 'him'?

Jesus' own diciples didn't know who he realy was until after he died, and you claim so arrogantly to be able to tell who is 'Jesus' and who is not... Hmm I am not sure if I should laugh or worry of your ignorance...

Please, DO NOT FOLLOW! I repeat, DO NOT FOLLOW! Only idiots follow. Leaders gather and walk side by side, reinforcing each other, building the future.

Oh, don't mind those who are panicking over "Globalism" and outsourcing, AG. It's rooted in a part of Ezekiel in which Jerusalem is chastised for allowing the remainder of the Holy Land to deteriorate in favor of wooing lucrative dealings with foreign peoples. The reason that it's the more "liberal" Americans you see swooning over this is that the same chapter is used as an argument that Sodom was destroyed for negligence of the poor, rather than for "sodomy." Like it or not, most people who are socially liberal also happen to be Christian, and this is going to be reflected in a number of ways.

Star, please, give us a break. We have the Internet, so society is working just fine. Duuuuuuuuuuude.

There are Aspies who can and Aspies who don't. I am one of those who can. That is why I can affors to fly to Europe business class!


Now, you have me intrigued. Probably not worth the cost though. I'd rather reshape it.

I already told guys this, the next step of evolution is not aspies, well not in this country anyway. The next step of evolution is Chav they even out breeding the middle class. And unlike in the past all children born to under age mother are reaching adulthood no matter how much children they have. Consider it survival of the unfit. test

I don't think it is because of Christianity Griff. Most American Christians don't know the bible well enough to actually comment on anything you have said, which is really quite funny to think about given the number that claim it is the word of God. Not only that but even non-Christians have expressed anti-globalization views often seeing it as a corruption of capitalism and things of that nature. I know that there is a religious left though. There is Christian almost anything to be honest. Heck, there are Christian anarchists so really.

The entire point of the comment is quite simple, it is not a comment on Christianity at all, but rather your claims of being some great prophet. There are a thousand prophets. We live in a sea of them. I would ask you to get your head examined oh great L. Ron Hubbard, but because psychiatry is evil that will stop you from fighting the thetan menace! Save us Mr. Hubbard!! Use your e-meter!!

Now does that create an impossible situation? I think so. If we do not follow, then we follow your advice, if we follow, then we do not follow your advice and neither of the two options really keep us from following something. I think I choose the 'do not give a damn' option.

Chavs are why I haven't tried to pack up and move to the U.K.

Pardon the term, but they seem worse than "thugs" and "wiggers" that we hold in such.... High esteem over here.

You caught the sarcasm right, right? Never sure if I"m using it right.

I dunno. Goths and related alts tend to breed like rabbits, and their women tend to be unlikely to abort. If you want to talk about natural selection in terms of subculture, anyway.

Huh? Even I've read Ezekiel, and I'm a bloody atheist. What dumbassery. It's not even that much of a read, so there's no excuse.

Oh, big time. You really wouldn't believe it.

Really? I had rather noted the opposite. Haven't met any for a long time though.
I thought they mostly died out.

Yeah. It is. I think that most Christians are going to hell by their own standards.

Nah. They just all grew up and became parents. Lacking leadership, those of the mindset splintered off into a variety of related subcultures.

Atheists, the largest non-Christian group in the US, only take up about ten percent of the population, and a lot of them are Republicans. You do the math, dude. You do the math.

I don't feel sorry for myself, what gave you that idea? Your psychic instinctual powers? Alas, my friend, they have mislead you. Why, you're not the messiah of the Aspies after all! Oh well, back to Church for me.
