That's completely understandable. I have a brother who is autistic, and also Fragile X. He's not able to fully communicate to us how he sees things, what he feels about things, and will never be able to live independently. There are plenty of people on the spectrum who are able to do those things - just not in a…

It appears that the fundamental problem here is a huge lack of awareness and understanding coupled with a huge dose of stereotyping regarding the non-neurotypical. Most people do not educate themselves on the reality of autism, what it is, what life is like for people on the autism spectrum unless they are drawn into…

KILL THEM WITH FIRE!

I said this in a reply to Daveinva below, but I want to re-iterate my skepticism of the numbers regarding the percentages of psychopaths in the prison population (and the general population).

I'm skeptical of the numbers regarding the percentage of the prison population. The test for psychopathy is sound (at least, Robert Hare, who developed it believes it to be). But there are no real regulations regarding the people that *administer* the tests to inmates, and in many states it is standard practice to…

This is awful news to get first thing in the morning.

It's only a matter of time...

Hmmph. Damned hippies! If you can't chew the air you breathe, it ain't healthy.

No problems with sassiness or condescending put-downs for people who try to justify hate and discrimination with an old book. I just don't want them to stick around, is all. ;)

Ugh. Think before promoting the pink. :P

I think (and correct me if I'm wrong) that it says specifically you can't mix the cheese made with the milk of an animal with the meat of that same animal. Also, if you were to slap some bacon on that badboy, the universe would probably implode. Oh, wait. It hasn't. I guess it's okay.

bjvogel, you're going to be tempted to take all of these responses and treat them as evidence that you're not being tolerated. You'll want to see yourself being persecuted for you beliefs. You'll probably want to entertain the notion that those who protest discrimination and hate are the ones doing the attacking.

Indeed, AWESOME, Star Wars dad. Replying to promote.

Jealous that your race-car bed doesn't stack up? You've got bed envy, haven't you?

The cute - it's painful!

The Tony and Loki dresses are my favorites - very cool.

I think he was saying that very few scenes in the movie come from the book. And it seems as though it was said in a petulant, passive-aggressive sense, which might account for the confusing way it was phrased.

"Bullshit —> Loki Did It".

I got hooked on Florence + the Machine ever since I heard "Kiss with a Fist" on Community.

Funny - I would have thought the naked-children-in-the-locker-room scenes would have been the hardest parts of Ender's Game to do. Or have they scrapped that bit? :P
