You know, I was content on never having this dialogue again but I can't seem to escape it.

Here's the deal. I was just pointing out how cyberdad was off base and you came straight at me for not agreeing with him. Am I supposed to automatically agree with other aspies? No, I don't live by the ideals other people expect me to live by just because they say so.

Read my post again. I asked how it felt to have someone blow everything you say out of proportion. Look in the mirror. You also make other people feel that way from time to time. I don't really care what the debate is about, I only wanted to catch you thinking that, and point out that you made me feel just as frustrated as you feel now.

For you to blow that out of proportion would be meta beyond my expectations, surely.


You told me yourself you wanted to avoid me so what is up with this stance now?

I really have no problems with conservatives, per se.

I don't subscribe to many of their views; but it doesn't mean they're bad people.

I thought Ronald Reagan was a decent President. He was an arch-conservative---but he maintained the dignity of the Office most of the time. Same with the Bushes---especially the first one.

Same here. It's really those who confuse xenophobia and jingoism for patriotism I have a problem with.

I don't take issue with all conservatives, its largely the fundie conservatives...I also don't have any problem with Christians in general but I don't like fundies. And even then there is a friend of one of my room-mates and he is both christian and conservative and he does have a lot of ignorance he's in his early 20's and I can see interacting with him he's not a bad person...if anything he just seems a bit misguided.

Of course if he keeps hanging around with people like my room-mate and my brother who's also a room-mate I think it might open his mind some. But he's not like belligerently disrespectful and ragey like a lot of christian conservatives are.

We just seem like what ignorant NT's think they are like. We are not, we are almost the psychological and neurological oppositeof sociopaths.
We don't outwardly emote the same as NT's, sociopaths can pretend pretty well. We CAN empathise when we understand properly, they can only fake it, and again they are very good at it.

And sociopaths don't usually feel anxiety in any meaningful way...i think most of us can attest that we very much do.

I can see how playing at being one of us might help those vile people leech off others, though.

I actually hate sociopaths and psychopaths. The low level ones are vile, violent people, and the high functioning ones are corrupt financiers and politicians who destroy entire economies.

And sorry, but America is being run by one, although he is so incompetent, he may get impeached hopefully. At the least he has strong narcissistic personality traits and only a shallow bad impression of empathy.


That "CEO psychopath "
is a myth set up by globalists who want to destroy capitalism and ambition.


No its not a myth...it is actually true that some traits of psychopathy are useful for becoming something like a CEO.


Not to mention, since when has globalism been anti-capitalist? If anything, big business can move around the globe making money at the expense of the masses now that they've gone global.

I get chills whenever I think about what I could've been like if I remained brainwashed by the Bible Belt. Yes, I admit I was brainwashed into buying into a lot of things I now rail against but can you blame me? I was constantly being told "Don't do this, don't do that!" but those same people were committing adultery, doing drugs, and drinking like crazy. When I saw all the hypocrisy around me, it shattered my old paradigm.

I don't blame you a bit, Marknis... hypocrisy never scored any brownie points! I'm surrounded by conservative family members but at least they're genuine people who live by what they teach.

It's not them that shattered my personal paradigm but rather stuff I read for myself in the Bible which didn't add up and seem inexplicable or contradictory.

I live in an area of Virginia which is also technically the Bible Belt, (in fact we have two major "Buckle" belt cities ) and I will tell you this:

In the Bible Belt, people are more freely allowed to discuss religion open and honestly without getting vitriol hatred or opposition. You can talk about the Lord Jesus Christ, salvation, and why it matters. People are open to having that discussion. In some other parts of the country, however, you not only could face ridicule, but possibly jail time. And then people say the Bible belt is closed minded. Well, it depends on your definition. If you mean that people who don't like oppressive PC culture, then yes I suppose so. The Bible belt people are friendlier in general, hard working, and believe in personal responsibility and accountability In general, we don't allow our criminals to walk free. People have a sense of honor and duty to those around them. I don't see any of these liberal elites doing anything to help their communities. Other than complaining about "white privilege" or gender neutral bathrooms.

Your understanding of America outside the Bible Belt is astonishingly prejudiced and limited. My own Washington state boasts of having the lowest church going population of any other state in the country, yet I absolutely know of no one who has ever gone to jail for professing Christ. And while I don't doubt that you could find some a$$holes around here who would ridicule someone for talking about religion, but the great majority of people here are good mannered and polite.
The pacific Northwest in general has a genuine live-and-let-live attitude that is extended toward everyone in a region of the country where eccentricities are not only tolerated, but are even encouraged (David Lynch, after all, had grown up in Spokane).
As far as letting criminals walk free - that's called the American legal system. Sometimes the guilty go free, but that's only because everyone has certain rights that prevent the prosecution from introducing this or that tactic that might otherwise be used to imprison an innocent person.
How do you know what the liberal elite would or wouldn't do to help their communities?

Wrong, the first amendment clearly states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". If there is indeed a municipality out there that's 'banned' religion a simple call to the Justice Department would fix it, but I highly doubt said locale actually exists outside the confines of pro-Christian propaganda.

You're full of it...you cannot get jail time simply for talking about your lord jesus christ, that is not true.

And sure bible belt people are friendly if you're a WASP (white anglo-saxon protestant), not so much if you're a pagan, a metalhead, from an ethnic minority, homosexual, atheist, or deviate from typical gender norms.

I used to be a christian...and yeah there is a belief among a lot of them that they face endless persecution simply for believing in jesus. I think a couple bible verses are used to confirm this, but i can't remember. But yeah what ends up happening is they see persecution where it doesn't exist...its conspiracy theory type thinking.

Bible Belt logic: Not getting their way when they want to discriminate is considered being "bullied".

Ironically, they hate other white people the most. I can't tell you how many times I've seen them mock Wiccans for their beliefs and call them "Satanic". They also think speaking Spanish means you are automatically from Mexico despite how it's an European language just like English and people from Spain are white as well. :roll:


Liberal Logic: We must defend and protect Islam, even though Christians are being slaughtered world wide and persecuted more than any other religious group. Anyone who disagrees with Islamic infiltration suffers from "islamaphobia". Anyone who disagrees with multiculturalism and the globalism, or the threat of Islam is a xenophobe or "redneck". Redneck, btw is a slur against White anglo saxon Protestants. Largely used by ethnics who just came off the boat a generation or two ago.


LOL its not about defending or protecting Islam, its about defending and protecting peoples right to be muslim and follow Islam if they so choose. I mean here is an intresting thing, you whine about christians being ridiculed...yet you constantly ridicule people with different beliefs from you, or try to at any rate, cant say you do a very good job of it you just sound like an angry cave dweller.

I've lived in the Bible Belt all my life. I know what this place's mentality is. Hindus get harassed because ignorant rednecks think they are Muslims and I've talked to Wiccans who have been accused of being "Satanic". I've been frowned upon for speaking how I feel about mainstream Christianity and my older brother not only told me I was going to Hell but physically assaulted me as well.

Oppressive PC culture? I have a cousin who is gay and he simply wants to be treated as an equal human being but he gets called "fa***t" or "queer" just for existing. He doesn't do anything to bring it on himself. In regular conversations, rednecks will say "fa***t", "n****r", "feminist", "muslims (Especially towards Hindus)", and other derogatory things without a care in the world. They even hate Jewish people despite the US's support for Israel. These people are very xenophobic and jingoistic.

Rednecks do nothing but b***h and complain about "multiculturalism" despite how the US has been multicultural since day one. They don't offer anything better. They push for crap like Duck Dynasty and wonder why it doesn't find an audience outside the Wal-Mart redneck crowd. Why? It's because it only caters to redneck ideals.

Rednecks hardly ever use the term WASP. They say "Cawcashun" a lot more despite how true Caucasians are Armenian, Georgian, Iranian, and Turkish as well as some other nationalities. Those people are white as well but rednecks think only they are white. They make the white world smaller than it really is.

Otherwise, I've seen the discrimination for the things you posted. They actually think paganism and atheism are the same as "devuhl wurship". :roll:

OP what do you think of your heroine now? More calculated trolling in her own words:

She still denies global warming and is making light of the catastrophe in Houston:
