Here, you can legally drink at a club when you're 16, as long as you're with an adult. You have to be 18 to go to the bar, though (someone has to buy your alcohol for you).
Here you can't even walk into one unless you're 21, even if escorted. Really if I want the experience of being in an English pub, I should do it on location. Here it would just be an artificial setting anyways.

^^ oh, yeah. That's ugly.
And only 3 hours? We get unlimited, unless it's less-than-30 minute park, then it's 30 minutes. Takes time, getting those holographic wheelchairs in and out.

I'm sure you're safe in this thread. Also probably no one is going to bash Kip in other threads since he's a moderator. Remember, bullies are cowards.
He's one of my detractors, though.
Only in your head dude - depression and anxiety is awesome at tricking you into thinking someone is against you
I just wish people like him wouldn't tell me to stop thinking about wanting a girlfriend while it's ok for them to go around looking as much as they please. If I stop thinking about it, I pretty much give in to what society wants me to do and that is to "accept my place" as a "freak".

I confess that I haven't read most of what you post about yourself. It's not just you, I skip a lot of threads. So I can't really comment on it. But maybe I'll go through one and give my opinion.

Sometimes having autism means being a "freak". I'm certainly one if looked at that way by others or if I look at it that way myself. Sure there are those here who are or have been in relationships. But there are plenty of others who never have because of their autism.
