| For the conservative intolerance side, I had a Republican woman once tell me she would only make an exception for abortion in the case of a Down's Syndrome or autistic child - and then told me she would have had me "terminated." Wow. Just...wow. How do you even respond to that? "Lucky for me, my pa... |

| Sophia Lamb from Bioshock 2. For some reason, Andrew Ryan never pissed me off as much as she did. I think it's because I really started thinking of Eleanor as my daughter. I wrote Sophia Lamb earlier aswell, I guess it might be that despite having colectivist ideals, she thought too highly of herse... |

This site says that there are 3 Asperger's subtypes, "logic boy" being one of them: http://www.myaspergerschild.com/2009/12/aspergers-subtypes-rule-boy-logic-boy.html "Rule boy" subtype matches me better.

| Chill out, guys 8) This is such an utterly subjective issue. I will suggest a compromise: Keep the original versions of the movie available for those of us who enjoy the subtext etc. we feel is present, but also allow for the creation of updated versions for those who enjoy the benefits they see in ... |

| Updating movies or works of art to accommodate new technology, such as color, is not bad - I simply think it is important then that the original is still available. :) I do think in some situations black and white really do fit the mood of a movie better, especially since the directors and cinematog... |

| He sounds like me at that age - but if he witnessed something very bad, it could also easily be an expression of PTSD. What's wrong with parched? If the word fits the situation, you should be happy he has a grasp on vocabulary, as long as he's not doing it to make you feel inferior. Which I doubt he... |

Really?
I love how the female reporter worries that she might have to give up her hair spray and make-up "which we all use".
I laughed at that too. I suppose I fail at being a woman. |

Mostly because his Mirror Universe counterpart had a Beard Of Evil. An evil Data just couldn't compete with that :) That's true. Does anyone rememb... |
