| ... why waste them so? Who or what decides what is "waste"? The dictionary: " spend thoughtlessly; throw away; use inefficiently or inappropriately; useless or profitless activity " etc etc Seems relevant in this case. Although, in a "car crash TV" way, maybe the money has provided many with a good... |

There are so many worthy causes for your resources, money, time, attention, why waste them so? I can assure you there are plenty of other peop... |

Things generally not considered serio... |

| You´re right, I have noticed people tend to moan a lot about frivolous things. I pretty much never do this; when I complain, it´s usually about serious stuff that´s really upsetting me. Maybe it's all relative to the individual involved? That what is frivolous to you can be serious to them and vice... |

| You have to be kidding me. How are you going to verify people's neurological status? How do gay bars verify people's sexual orientation? :) I'm really surprised that could possibly be allowed :? ... b/c I'd think that would look like "discrimination" even though we'd be banning those who (in many c... |

| In Australia it has been ruled that a gay bar has the legal right to ban heterosexuals: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/6697469.stm Surely this opens the door for Aspie only bars with NT's banned? Look at the justification: "the move would stop groups of heterosexual men and women abus... |

Don't assume that anything to do with relationships is obvious to an AS man!  Unless it is spoken outright, clearly and unambiguously, you're taking a chance that it's been communicated. |

| Even very pretty women can probably look masculine if they wear the right clothes and alter their body language. The *wrong* clothes, surely? Basically the study says: "Women are less likely to be considered for masculine jobs". What will these mega-brains discover next? That "Men are less likely t... |
