I never said that this was a valid line of reasoning.

I said that, to many (stupid) people, this is a valid line of reasoning.

Thank God for that, then, now maybe we can get on with discussing the topic at hand without endless sidetracking and semantic argument caused by going out of your way to find something in my comments you can disagree with.

Re: the term nutters.  I am an Aspie.  I am blunt, honest and often tactless.  I call things as I find them.  And I consider writing off all neurotypical people as "stupid", "shallow", or any other sweeping generalisation, to be worthy of the term.

Thank you for not writing me off...I like you

I think that lumping people into categories based on their skin color, their place of birth, the way their mind functions, is always dangerous.  No one person can fit every mold.  Thank goodness!

Aye, people these days are brought up from the beginning to think in nothing but groups, categories, and generalizations.

Christian/Islam/Jewish/Atheist/Agnostic/Democratic/Republican/Independent/Liberal/Conservative/Smart/Dumb/Sexy/Ugly/White/Black/Asian/Hispanic/Rich/Poor/etc.

No one ever refers to someone as just a person anymore.

Then again, what the heck do I know, I am a fat, white trash, okie, pagan, witch, ugly, poor, woman...

wow, Korrigan. You sound like quite an... interesting.. person..

John the Crack Dealer or Cracker Jack.

Cracker Jack.... a Caucasian male in his thirties living in a rural area of Maryland, Virginia, or West Virginia, has done jail time more than once, especially for domestic violence, erratic work record, thinks he is better than black people just because he is white, and one or more of the following:

* driving without a license
* DUI
* driving no insurance
* got a gun, from somewhere
* gets more sex than twenty Aspies combined
* No credit, not his problem

(I stole this one from Deer Hunting with Jesus.   75% of all women are battered and I've been eating mine plain!)

can I just type (for fun - only in jest) I am an antidisestablishmentarian non-conformist supposed nuerotypical mother to three nuero-diverse children and atypical tendencies and hope that no one will pick that statement apart?

I don't hate anyone.

When he's at a friend's house drinking beer, takes 2 for the road

Guess who - that was horrible I read that whole thing and was not pleased that I did.

Actually, I was going to let this slide, but it's really getting to me, so I'm not going to bottle it up any more:

I'm really pissed off that I'm the one being accused of judging people, because I described the lunatic fringe Aspie Supremists as "nutters", while said Supremacists are allowed to spew forth all sorts of nonsense and if anyone calls them on it, they're the one that gets attacked.

Between 1988 and 1997, Mom Dad my brother and/or I lived in the middle of a soap opera, Cracker Hollow.  You are only getting the sanitized version.  It was almost use-your-imagination down there.  Alcohol, abuse, welfare, a little bit of sex..., female sterilization seemed a common answer to family planning.  

Squatters when Mom tried to sell her place, why I had the homeless in laws next door stick around just to deter mischief

I didn't name any names, honest john.  Mom was happy to move to Martinsburg (city, 15,000) when she could, and tried to get some rent out of the place,

Ethel, I didn't see it, I sure hope you weren't attacked - I thought I was following the thread closely.  MAybe you  misread and someone was agreeing with you and being sarcastic at the same time.  anyway, if you've no wish to re-hash the offender, I just wanted to say, you are most righteous in your indignation if you were in fact accused of being judgemental. I should say most certainly you aren't!

why is my screen stretched out so that I have to use the arrow to read...........?
