| A problem without potential solutions is still a problem. I perfectly well can point out problems without proposing solutions because realizing there is a problem is the first step toward solving it. Posting about it here was kinda my way of trying to find a solution. Do you really think nothing wou... |

| This reminds me of an interview I went to that was actually a recruitment for selling life insurance. I easily saw through the BS the lady was saying, and at the end of it, she even admitted it was BS by telling us it was a routine we could all learn in a couple of hours. Once it was over, we each w... |

| I fully expect to get a lot of flack for this, but maybe there will be one person out there who understands what I'm going through here. If there's at least one, I'll be glad I posted this. I'm an aspie capable of great success in social interaction. In the neighborhood where I live, a lot of people... |

| I'm what I call a daywalker aspie. By that I mean that I have many more of the benefits of aspergers syndrome and very few of the drawbacks (taken from Blade, a daywalker vampire). Because of this, I can kinda walk in both worlds and see what it's like for people on both sides. They should call it ... |

| We are all individuals, so not everyone's AS is the same as everyone else's. Still, there must be some common threads. Otherwise, why claim a label that also applies to others? Why get together to discuss things as a group if we don't even really belong to a group? Do we not tend to be analytical? D... |

| Is there another definition of "pompous fool" that I'm not aware of? I'm not trying to scare you. Yes you were trying to scare me. You said that something something is not tolerated here. I said you were acting like a pompous fool, not that you were a pompous fool. If I were to say that someone is ... |
