| Torturing birds by force-feeding them, just so we can eat their liver extra fatty, doesn't really mesh with that. It's possible to get it without the torturing and force-feeding, but unfortunately it takes more special attention to the habits of the bird and the timing of the slaughter than most fa... |

Time to start charging hourly, with added fees for rush orders. |

| I'm still sure my 5th grade teacher hated me, but of course I'm not allowed to think things like that, right? As one example: the class was getting a test back that I had missed because I was sick the day they took it, and the teacher told me to go sit in the library until someone came to tell me to... |

| One thing that people need to be aware of is that slavery is not just in Africa or the Middle East. It is also right here in the United States of America. Human trafficking is almost as big as trafficking in drugs. Most of the people enslaved here in the United States are forced to work as prostitu... |

| I've studied a wide range of martial arts for nearly 20 years. I'll be honest, even after all that training, if there's trouble, I'd rather have my revolver. Martial arts take years to learn enough to be useful, and even an expert can be beaten up by an untrained thug if the thug gets a lucky shot. ... |

Agreed. But then, this IS an aspie forum, so a certain amount of fumbling is understandable. I can hardly expect everyone here to understand the unwritten social rules of forum postings. Or of how to attract a girl online.  |
