| Is Scribd antisemitic too? Anyone or anything that challenges Zionist interests gets the anti-Semite slur thrown at them. Do you have any evidence they denied The Holocaust? The cop is real, the suspects are real and that's all that matters. Many of your posts contain antisemitic material. At least... |

| I believe it's ignorant to remove history because people disagree with it, despite negative connotations where applicable. The removal of anything African slave-trade-related would also require 90% of Washington D.C. to be removed, including the White House, Capitol, Lincoln Monument, etc. Instead, ... |

I appreciate that it's hard to simplify an answer to this particular question, however, where do you regard most of your policies as being positioned for your country?
I'm also interested to know which country you're from, if not stated elsewhere. |

| EDIT: I have read other posts on this forum and found many people discussing similar situations. The phrase does not necessarily repeat, but rather is spoken using my internal voice. I hope that makes sense. For the past year or so, I've had an obscure phrase from a video game stuck in my head on r... |

| I've been offered 'treatment' for Asperger's in the form of specialist CBT. This is, apparantly, meant to enable to me 'fit in' with society. What is the general view on this approach, and should I go ahead with it? Personally, I take pride in my differences but, at the same time, realise that I don... |

| From childhood I've observed people to see how they react in every situation I can think of. I've watched for facial signs of emotion and 'give aways' that a person may not be telling the truth or faking their emotional response - I just assumed this was normal. However, recently I've been giving it... |

| The AQ test is a good indicator and still used as a base for diagnosis in most parts of the world. If you score highly on two or three self-reporting style tests then it's worth seeking a professional confirmation/diagnosis. |

| Yes. I was raised only by females who disliked males. Even family friends were females, often older, who helped to raise me - in total I think they were around 25 'strong' female figures who all appeared to have a dislike for men. This has now left me disliking men and women (and I've never liked ch... |

| I was part of the debating team at school. However, it very much depends on the subject - if it's an area I have an interest in, such as politics, then it's fine. If the area is a topic picked by the adjudicator then I might get stuck as I don't have the facts to hand. |

| You've described how I managed to survive throughout education. I longed to be alone, but that's just not possible when at school, college or university. The only way to 'fit in' is mimicking. |
