everybody that is rich should be given the option to be dirt-poor [no access to any of their usual resources] for a year. if they passed the test [none would] they could be exempt from taxation forever.

From now on I'm going to use "it" as a pronoun for humans, the same way humans normally use "it" for an animal whose gender they do not know. Because humans ARE animals, even if they refuse to admit it. And assuming anyone's gender is wrong, even if it's just me buying a Mother's Day card for my cisgender mom. I get it, being cisgender is wrong and evil, just like it is being white or over 25. I must not really be female anyway because I'm always wearing pants and as a kid I liked frogs and bugs and I'm not really afraid of spiders. But wait, I also like cute, fuzzy animals like kittens and bunnies and the colors pink and purple and plush toys. How can I possibly identify as a specific gender??? :roll:

-Bacon is one of the most overrated foods I can think of

-Democrats vs Republicans is a strategically created puppet show to distract everyone from the corruption and sinister behind the scenes things that are happening. Also a simple way to keep the country divided

-The customer is -NOT- always right




I agree with these, and yeah what is with bacon, it just tastes like salt and grease.

I don't like the idea of dating as it seems more like a vetting system and interview and I doubt people can objectively judge people on a date. Seems also boring idea and stressful.

I think available women should have some sort of symbol or mark so that men actually know they are available.
Would make much more sense than hitting on random women.
They should also make it explicitly clear whether its sex or relationship.

I think shopping going to movies and eating out is better done alone.
I just enjoy it more.

I think the justice system is not fair or just.

I think anarcho communism is the future of humanity, but I don't hate capitalism.

I think politics should be abolished world wide. Few crazy and deranged people telling the whole country what to do seems unfair and dangerous.

People in prisons should not be in prisons, but working for the government and society, not sit in prison cells all day stabbing each other with toothbrushes. Prisons are inhumane and cause recidivism and increase in psychopathic traits.

Schools are not for smart people "Rick and Morty"

I think most bon mots, phrases, and sayings are BS and people say them to sound smart, but really they are not that smart.

I think grammar is overrated and grammar is also pretty confusing as it often is arbitrary and not very exact.

I think most radical feminists are TERFs and should admit to it.

Post '70s rock sucks.

Never liked the Star Wars franchise.

Almost all popular Fiction books are garbage.

Never believed in Capitalism, despite how awful people say the alternatives are.

I think the movie ‘Titanic’ is a bad overwrought derivative of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ whose flaws were successfully covered up by spectacular special effects.

There should be an autism forum specifically for POC, where people like myself would feel more welcome; not be exposed to racist posts and threads; nor have the burden of dealing with them and the individuals.

I unironically wish there was an autism forum centered around LGBT/trans people. I am so tired of the garbage cis people spew on here and the expectation by a portion of the userbase to just ignore it. Same s**t w/ POC and women.

Strongly agree, Fairfield. (hugs) :heart:

We shouldn't be expected to ignore it. Ignoring it gives them free rein to flood the forum with their hateful views.

Philadelphia or Boston IMO are much better suited to host a Summer Olympics over Portland.

Anyone know how to start a forum?
Is it hard to do?
Just a little one?

Some years ago a lady member of WP did just that.

She was perpetually angry person who got SO pissed off that she left this site and started her own aspie website. It was patterned exactly like this one. Same subforums. Same layout. Minor changes in look. She was angry about the oppressive politically correct rules of this site, but admitted that she even had to impose pretty much the same rules on her new site. :lol:

I was a member for a while until it got too dead for me. A number of both refugees banned from this site and other still active members of this site like me would also visit that site. But like I said it petered out before long. Cant recall her name now. Or the sites name either.

Anyway its probably pretty easy to start a forum of your own.
