| I like being naked in places where I shouldn't be, but I doubt I'd go outside or anything. I think a lot of people, mostly heterosexual males, have this fantastical image of nude beaches where they're filled with hot women in the buff. When actually, most people on nude beaches or fat, ugly, or fat... |

Does every female beachgoer do this? No. It's optional. The only tim... |

What about the incident when Ananias and then his wife Sapphira fell dead (miraculously!) at the words of the apostle Simon Peter? (Acts 5 verse 1 to 10)
Was that violence or not?

The autistic spectrum “ranges from the most profoundly physically and mentally ret*d person ... to the most able, highly intelligent person with social impairment in its subtlest form as his only disability. It overlaps with learning disabi... |

| We've has a minor blow up tonight about him not being Aspergers. He has a real stigma attached to it. Is this symptomatic of an 11 year old with Aspergers or is it a reflection of me being such an open parent desperate to give him the best I can? Hi. Perhaps your son feels overprotected -- he feels... |

| I was 23 before I fully realised I had Asperger's Syndrome. And when I did I suddenly felt happy because I knew I wasn't alone. Plus I don't feel like it's a bad thing to have anyway. In fact, judging by the vast majority of people I have spoken to on here, it's definitely not a bad thing. I accept... |
