| Mostly i read to enjoy fantasy worlds with no allusions to reality. As neil gaman said, i believe an author has a obligation to tell the truth with nothing hidden beneath the surface of the story. Occasionally though i don't mind reading a morality tale or two. To kill a mockingbird is a good one. P... |

| Though in my case I do seem like a pretty nice guy. Though I am also very picky about who I date because I know that she could be a future wife. Why else is there a reason to date? Dating is basically saying "I like you and want to see if we're pretty compatible." Dating for the fun of it is pretty... |

| Yeah kids making load noises in public places is inconsiderate of the parents. Should be taking somewhere else to deal with. I'm making a mental note right now to not do so. |

| Egads i should stay out of this topic, but yet again i'll succumb simply because i'm sick of people assuming that being "nice" is a failing. Not all nice guys are insecure! Actually i think the opposite, the most insecure people i know tend to be the biggest jerks... why? Because they have such low ... |

| I'd like a cloaking device... or at least a way of feeling less conspicious. I like being in crowds but not being overly noticeable or anything. Always feels like people pay more attention to me then you should, when i'm just trying to chill out. |

It's alright in writing(though i prefer not too do it), but i think due to the Aspie brain not being good at multitasking i start to really struggle if a conversation is on that level wh... |
