And what are you actually doing about it???

You do nothing. So, shut up, and don't complain.

I haven't gotten that far yet, I don't really know what I could do about it...No need to be an ass about it though

. If I am disturbed by this society I have every right to express that even if i don't know what to do about it. And to think I actually thought you were trying to be helpful before, not just waiting for some chance to throw at me that 'I'm not doing nothing so 'shut up and don't complain.' as if I never heard that one before :roll:

YOU FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE COMMUNISM WORK.

No I just read up on it and like what I found, I have no idea how to make it work on a large scale. I am good at researching information but don't create it. Besides liking the idea of communism is not exactly something most people find all that cool...I even got made fun of in high school when I first got interested in it as usual I was thinking I should have just kept my opinions to myself. So I am not sure I would consider knowledge about communism and ideas how it could work is very useful.

Communism works very well in the animal world. its only when you add human greed and emotion etc that it fails.

I'm still wading through this thread, but must comment here. Communism works in the animal world ?!?!?!? Where praytell!?!?!? When the predator devours the prey? When the Alpha bullies the Omega away from the kill? When the dominant male fights and even maims less able males for the right to breed?

Schools of fish are communist.

I saw this on someone's signature line--"Society exists only as a mental concept; in the real world there are only individuals."

Actually they are Eusocial. /pedant

And there is actually an hypothesis that associates Eusociality with autism. Resulting, in part, from a very long thread, on this website.

Autism: The Eusocial Hominid Hypothesis Link

It actually mentions Ants with unusually big heads, associated with the phenomenon. It's out of the box thinking, and pretty interesting, for a 60+ page hypothesis.

I miss the thread, it was interesting as well. I think it went on for 6 or 7 months, if not longer.

I've never head the word eusocial before. I blame my history teachers.

Now I'll be busy for a little bit.

My issue is that Autism speaks and most other Autism awareness media stresses the effects of Autism as one disease rather than a spectrum.

I see all these posts about Autsim Speaks and how people hate it. I don't know enough about the subject to have an opinion. But could some one jsut explain some of the problems with it?

I have accepted the fact that I'm Autistic. I wouldn't have it any other way.

That's how ignorant the media is and that is why I don't have any use for the news media especially those rags who makes a mockery of everything that is different. Yes we are different, but definitely not a desease.
