I've had clinical depression (feel a little better now), but I hear that I have some sort of smaller level of depression that'll stay w/ me for the rest of my life. Before, I used to have disturbing, ultra-violent, and sometimes scarily abstract dreams on a day-to-day basis. Now that's gone down too. So I'm pretty fine right now.

Serious question: are Aspies the Diclonius of the 21st century?

(note I'm way over analyzing this)

I wouldn't say this, because being a Diclonius gives a clear evolutionary advantage. When you can easily kill any other non Diclonius, you have a huge advantage over the average human. Need food? Just kill a human with food and unless humans get together to try to stop you (even then they are at a serious disadvantage) you will get your way. More importantly a Diclonius can kill any potential rivals for a mate (I'm looking at this from a purely animal perspective, this type of getting rid of romantic rivals would probably not work in most cases in regards to humans). Being a Aspies makes it more likely that you are more intelligent then the average human but the other behaviors of the average Aspie would not evolutionarly benefit the human.

Sweet were the next evolutionary stage that would be pretty cool.

It is more of a disadvantage mind you with the lack of social capabilitys, if we were cavemen again aspies wouldnt last long.

I also have a visceral hatred for the catholic church which sometimes becomes an unstoppable obsession.

...list...

Seeing that lot, my first reaction is "One of us! One of us!"

In despite of whole population statistics, the female Aspies seem to outnumber the male ones locally.

Amuse me, why do you hate so? I'm not religious myself but I'm just curious. You do not need to answer me if you don't want to.

It's the only organized religion with which I had extensive first hand contact. Not only it's community of the most faithful, generally, the elites, but also those members with certain hierarchy or those who yearn for it (Stendahl in its Red & Black was completely right about this). They disgust me. Because they have power to define legislative agendas here. Because of their small and completely biased worldview (ever heard my rant about that woman [consagrate virgin] who told me in class that Africa had such an AIDS epidemy because there's lots of gays, and being gay lowers your immune system, she said).

My country because of its constitution pays the church members salaries such as government officials. And the top of the church here are a bunch of corrupt motherfuckers (I have personal evidence of this). And then, because everyone has a "padrino", if one of the underlings touches a children, they all hide it so that the boss won't be discredited (legionaries of Christ anyone?).

I have so many examples of how the priests and their minions did, said or supported real evil, real bad things, all because of some ideological crap made by a bunch of old eunucs thousands of miles away, that I can't describe em one by one.

But yeah, they're a despicable bunch.

The Catholic Church is a piece of museum who still hasn't found out about it.

I bet if I had more first hand experience with other religions I might hate them the same, but well, in here it's catholicism.

Oh Peter, I hope your betrayal of Christ earned you the eternal flames of Hell.

Also, look at my sig. From the Divine Comedy itself. Oh so true.

I'm glad that you've answered. I've only read Dante's Inferno so far, but I remember that line. Forgotten which Canto it was in tho.

Anyways, I thank you for voicing your unveiled opinion about such matters. The Catholic Church is going to implode on itself if it doesn't get its act together, which I highly doubt that it will. Someone will release a major documentary about it (MICHEAL MOORE!) and after that happens...who knows?

[AchtungAffen]

It seems like the Verdun battle for the beginning of the end of catholicism is being waged in Spain right now. If their government stops funding the church then the rest of the world, specially latin America, might have a chance to get rid of these (how my gampa used to call em) "Rats in Black".

Let's hope that if we get emancipated, we don't get enslaved by some other bunch of freaks and their dumbass ideologies.

Did I mention my teeth already?

Well lower right #6 came apart while I was finishing my lunch today, spilling chunks of filling, and leaving a jagged stump. Temperature sensitive as might be expected on the bright shiny amalgam surface now revealed. Meanwhile I'm still waiting for the gum to heal on lower left #7 (root canalled over a year ago) so it can have a crown, and now this one's going to have to have one too.

[chee]

Ouch.

[AchtungAffen]

Heh, tomorrow at 15hs I have a date with the surgeon who's gonna remove a vert battered teeth I have. I don't know if he's gonna pass knife on my gums, probably, but it ain't gonna be pretty.
