Secondly, will you quit calling us "Aspergians"? It sounds very elitist.
How can that sound elitist?

Would you prefer "those of us suffering from Asperger's Syndrome" instead?

there are other parts of the autistic spectrum and I don't say abandoning them would be good

It's Malay, honest. :P Although that being a lot further south does actually work with your point, I think. :D


I was thinking of saying that, but Im not sure how that works in her favor

Aspergians sounds like peoples from Star Trek.

Self-hatred happens in all areas of life. It is not confined to people on the autistic spectrum. The fact that you love having Aspergers doesn't mean that everyone else will.

But why do you care so much about how other people see themselves? And do you think you can cure people of self-hatred by telling them that they should be ashamed of themselves and their sick perverted way of thinking? I don't quite see the logic in that approach.

Personally, I'm okay with the fact that the autistic spectrum is a very broad one and that not everyone with Aspergers is the same as me.


Because if we united we would become masters of machines. We would create new civilisation.

Off you go then. Establish a new civilization.

Heck, you say we can establish the most advanced civilization in the world in seven years right? Well then you alone must be able to build us something pretty nifty in an hour.

Go and found us our nation!

In fact, that's a great idea!

We can send Zyborg and other like-minded individuals to establish a new moon nation! If we're the super-uber-ultra geniuses they claim us to be, then they should have no problem establishing a brand new civilization in space, right?

Go on, go and make your new city Zyborg! We're all right behind you, and we've got food and everything! We'll be with you in a moment...seriously, just go.

I have already warned you to not be ironic with me.

You ignored my warning.

That is not good.

That's a great idea because if anyone could figure out a way to live on the moon, it would be Aspies :D

Pride is a feeling that is always about status in one way or another.

People who are proud of being different are just like people who are proud that they're in the majority.

If you need pride, you never really free yourself from depending on how others see you to define yourself.

It appears I have incurred the wrath of our benevolent robotic overlord. I shall surely suffer grave consequences when Aspergia is founded and he dispatches cyborg assasains to destroy the dissenters.

Asergia will be founded within the year 2009, and reach full circle by year 2011. Then, they shall marshal their forces...

Thus begins 2012...

That's why I said we need a third group in the middle.

Personally, I'm anti-fascist and defensive. I don't want to make everyone just like me. I want freedom. I don't want to win the same old game; I want to change the game entirely. It's like Malcolm-X talking about all the abuses of "the white man." Everyone knew what he meant. "Let my people go."
