Being that he had been alive during the WWII era, he had had prejudice against the Japanese that included Japanese Americans which I didn't like. That changed when in later life he became good friends with a Japanese American man whose family had been interred during the war. Otherwise, we agreed on most things.

being that i am autistic, chances are by the genetic lotto, pretty good that at least one of 'em was on the spectrum [likely my mom] also. but since i also have some form of schizoid thingamajig, i think i got that from my dad's side as he described his relations as "crazy."

Knowing what I know about autism now, I believe they were. As it was, both my parents lived and died without ever being diagnosed.

You'll have to wait for judgement day to meet him, as he had passed away years ago.

I like be to centre-left to left-wing, I'm Olof Palme-like Socialist Democratic, extremely pro-european (I want the birth of the United States of Europe). I think that in certain issues the state or regional government must have a central role. Enviorment regulation must be enacted, supporter increasing of public spendi og the NHS (in tialy is called SSN), reduction of university taxes (to a complete elimination), tax-incetive to hire young people with no working experience. One of reason that pushes me on the left of the politcal compass, is that I'm homosexual, and in my country wheren't a center-right party what support a improvement of the gay right, al parties from moderate centre-right of Forza Italia (Berlusconi) to a right wing (Salvini) propagandize to defend the "traditional families" againt a non-existent attack from the LGBT, feminist, left organisations. Salvini and other governemental official was a relator of World Congress of Families, that are present people, who say that homosexual was ill, that the homosexuals deserve the death penality, or limitation of speech' right in the best of hypotesis.

I refuse to generalis, I think that a individual is different whan the other one, indipendently by belonging of an ethnic group, religion, sexual relations, nationalities everybody have a different thigs that differenciate from the other one, phisical appareance, mode of thinking, mode to interpreting to own religion.

I think that the problem is not the number of muslim and/or immigrant in a nation, but the creation of ghetto's in the cities that create a sort of nation in a nation, that cause lack of meeting of the new arrivals, and the "natives", causig the lack of integration of the first, and suspection on the second. This will create a vicious circle, that in a long term will be destructive for the Occidental Liberal Democracies.
