| In the United States, we have only two major parties, and I'm sure many would agree that they do not give sufficient representation to the diversity of ideas and policy preferences of the people. The Republican Party represents the center-right to, increasingly, the far right with the activism of t... |

| Not to sound like a dick, but you sound like you don't have a clue what you're talking about. What kind of substances did you take to feel the effects you described? The effects you describe, remind me of psychedelics and marihuana. By no means can they be compared with using empathogenic substance... |

Guess what: I've also been cured, I've seen the face of God, I've witnessed the future, I have reached nirvana, and I've commanded the stars with my own ... |

| I'm not sure a "taboo" is required, only a sense of alienation from "mainstream society". Given the fact that we are posting on a site called "WrongPlanet", I'd say we have our sense of alienation. Your milage may vary, you've previously mentioned that you don't enjoy to associate with individuals ... |

| The problem with that is I would have to commute over an hour each way, in a car, to attend a university, but with an Associates in Anthropology I then would be able to go get a Bachelor's in only two years, and move on to a master's. So I can see if I actually do enjoy anthropology and archeology.... |

While I'm smoking I frequently run into classmates and my professors and often I will engage them in conversation for a bit. ... |

| One common characteristic of people with Asperger's is that we are more or less blind to the non verbal communications of others. As a result, we find ourselves forever saying and doing the wrong thing, with the best of intentions. We're described as arrogant, aloof, uncaring and inconsiderate. I c... |
