Mother of an autistic son. Yeah, it gets me fired up. I had an anti-vax co-worker, and I finally blew up at him. "Good to know that you'd prefer your children to be sick and DEAD rather than be my son."

I think a lot more would be accomplished if we treated them as equals and helped more instead of proclaiming something was 'wrong' with them. From my own experience, it hindered more than helped being isolated and always assumed I was a problem because of something I didn't ask for. All it did was cause me to develop…

As someone on the spectrum, I'm tired of people making it out as if we're diseased. We learn, we grow, we adapt. Some of us are actually quite gifted. Just because we're different doesn't make us wrong or truly sick. And despite my social deficiencies, I'm happily above average in a lot of ways.

Guys do the same thing to girls and women. You pass over the nice girl in favor of the hot bitch who treats you like crap. Oddly enough, we don't think we're entitled to squat for being nice and we don't go killing people.

Some immature, badly self-actualized shallow bitches. They exist, in both genders. And they used you because they wanted to or were too damaged to realize the cruelty of their carelessness.

Normally, I'm all against violence as an answer. I'm proud of the fact I've managed to talk my way out of a few fights in my life, but also I'm a dad. If someone had done this to a memorial for my daughter, I would find him and put the boots to him medium style. Just reading this makes my fucking blood boil so much,…

Unbiased sources? The thousands of primary source papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals like Nature and Science would be a good start (and no, I don't buy the idea of a conspiracy of dodgily-funded climate research groups around the world churning out boilerplate agreement — that's not what's happening at all).

The irony of using Orwell to defend Fox News never gets old. Keep it coming.

that isn't the point to disease. There is no point to disease. Any attempt to give a reason why is a shabby attempt to provide a biological replacement for god.

Oh. agreed. I have major problems with the NCAAP and its rather tepid politics for social and racial justice. It cares more about being invited to the right parties and fund-raisers than it does, I suggest, about advancing economic and social opportunity for all black people. It started as a grass-roots movement but…

Thank you for posting this. I don't know whether international pressure will make the Nigerian government do something, but it is definitely worth trying I am in awe of the courage those girls displayed by simply going to school knowing the risks, and I pray they are rescued soon.

Please don't lump all religious people into the same category as Young-Earth Creationists.

Very lovely. I love how he needed to hear it again. The real rulers of the universe. They unlock the greatest puzzle piece by piece. How dare people consider stock brokers to even be considered for that title.

Moments of genius, peak sex drive and the time women are most comfortable being nude, late thirties has got it going on!

Holy crap on a cracker, this is the biggest "missing the point completely" that I have seen in ages.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Like everyone should just have the mental fortitude to be able to be unaffected by a chat with Cthulhu itself. We need to rely on others, if that's an "emotional crutch", fine then.

According to what I just learned from this article, you must be really REALLY fat.

Exactly. We're still having sex an hour after it all started? Honey, I'm asleep.

sure it does. look at coal miners.
