Iran - shmiran. It's not the bear-faced man with a bad toupe' that I fear. His job is to make me laugh actually. I fear the tide has turned for humanity as a whole. The rivers are black and the oceans are being plundered. Whale season is open, slaughtering time is here. Christmas has been proven to be the relic of pagan orgies which just makes me want to puke in the face of reality.


don't bash my people dick :roll:

Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullsh*t three ring circus sideshow of freaks

Some say a comet will fall from the skies
Followed by meteor showers and tidal waves
Followed by faultlines that cannot sit still
Followed by millions of dumbfounded dips**ts

Some say the end is near
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon
I certainly hope we will
I sure could use a vacation from this
Stupid s**t
Silly s**t
Stupid s**t

One great big festering neon distraction
I've a suggestion to keep you all occupied
Learn to swim
Learn to swim
Learn to swim

Mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's coming round again to put it back the way it oughta be

Cos I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way
I wanna watch it all go down
Mom please flush it all away
I wanna see it go right down
I wanna watch it go right down
Watch you flush it away

Time to bring it down again
Don't just call me pessimist, try and read between the lines
I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend
I wanna see it come down, sink down, suck it down, flush it down

Same here!

Like during the movie "Armagedon", the guy on the asteriod says..."We're actually lucky, having front row seats to the end of the world,".

I wouldn't mind going out like that... 8)

Check out my topic, Johnny get your gun. It provides some insight into the coming war that leads up to the coming Order. I hope you have Christ, JJ.

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost

SOME say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

But I dont think the world is getting worse folks. If you do, thats age showing its face in you. The world is changing. In some ways its better, in others its worse.

Before the 60s people with cancer were treated as pariahs. Can you imagine that? its not even infectious. We autistics would be institutionalized.

I was - as late as 1967 - and received about 8 or 9 ECTS (shock treatments).

My Dad (who also has AS) received shock 'treatment'. I think it did him more harm than good.

How old is he? (I am just wondering if he and I are around the same age.) In my case, all the ECTs (shock treatments) did, as best I can tell, was result in temporary memory loss. Sorry that your father's experience was more negative.

I wouldn't say the world is ending. Though it is definitely not getting better either and probably won't unless man works really hard to undo what it has done.

Dad would be coming up to his mid 50's now, He received ECT when he was a kid (I don't know how old exactly). You were pretty lucky to have suffered temporary memory loss. It seems my Dad's was more permanent. To this day he has been told of events from around the time of his treatment that he doesn't recall. As with many Aspie's, his long term memory is usually quite exceptional.

What I don't understand is the reason why he received ECT. If I remember properly, he received as a result of his depression. The theory was that a traumatic event in his life was the reason for it (hence - the memory loss). The treatment has no real positive effect.

On the positive side, I've been lead to believe that shock treatment methods have improved greatly recently and aren't as 'barbaric'. I still don't trust it though.
