Guess this would be a bad time to ask for reparations in guns and ammo.
Yes these were my thoughts exactly
What impression does this kind of of thread give to an outsider to the ASD community?
We can all express exactly how we feel about things but you have to bear in mind what is
happening in the wider world and how this will impact on other peoples' impressions of us
if we start talking about revenge and violence
Part of me doesn't care what the wider world thinks anyway but another part does
I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. Out of the 1500 or so occasions that I have used guns and ammo over the past 30 years there have been exactly zero instances of revenge and violence. Are you saying that If a man with AS mentions guns or ammo people will immediately assume revenge and violence because of some whackjob who is
rumored to have AS by some still unknown source? Or are guns and ammo always synonymous with revenge and violence?
Is it still ok for me to use the word "drone"? I mean these taxpayer approved little killing machines are operated by NT's and only blow up foreign children in foreign school houses so it should be ok right? It's not like those foreign kids have anyone that loves them.
Hopefully the outsiders reading this will appreciate sarcasm and hypocrisy.
And I know for a fact that an NT reading about people with Aspergers/Autism talking about wanting to get violent revenge on those who have bullied them, especially where guns are also mentioned, is not going to form a good opinion.
I'm not talking about fact; I'm talking about the inevitable conclusions people form when they are already ignorant/ill-informed and prejudiced
I would also add though that I hate guns and would never have one or condone the use of them so from that point of view I'm prejudiced myself.
