Welcome. Got a question for you.

When Asperger's was dropped as a separate diagnosis in the DSM-V several people around me (primarily parents) became quite upset. As near as I can figure they didn't want their child linked to "autism" as it carries a greater negative stereotype.

Your thoughts? Don't feel compelled to respond.

Thanks.

Damn I'm jealous. I walk on eggshells around my family.

:Welcome: Glad to have you here!
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Hello and welcome!

I remember a student in college who blithely and unintentionally insulted religious people all the time.  It was hilarious!  She was great to have in a classroom during class discussions.

Anyway, here people make all sorts of statements that are offensive to religious people.  So have fun!

Welcome.

Feel free to make all the anti-religion commentary you like.  Our stable of theists actually seem to enjoy it.

Welcome

Interesting story. I look forward to your input!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
