Again, just pushing the fact aspies ARE capable of killing, not saying we are all going to go out and do it though, simply stating the capability part

No my point was long before you made the thread people knew some aspies kill . So
the only new information that has changed is the law suite and that does not support
or unsupport your old thread. Oh the reason why this is a sensitive issue (aspie who
kill) is because it gets all aspie labeled as potential killers. In the same way alot of
white surban America sees African-Americans as a potential criminals lowwering property values if the move in the neighborhood. Think of the pain that causes middle
class Africian-Americans who are honest hard working people. Or many US postal workers have gone on killer rampages . Hence the term "going postal" . Last time I checked their were 750,000 or so US postal workers. So those many rampages amount to no increase rate compaired to other groups (oh I did not look the numbers
up they maybe slightly more or less ).

They label aspies, schizophrenics, and postal workers as likely to be violent, because of the high profile cases, even though each population is less violent than the average person.

I will agree on aspies and schizophrenics, but disagree on postal workers. Right now, my town is in the middle of a UPS/DHL turf war. Over 17 deliverymen have been killed so far.

What about the rapes in back of those delivery trucks. UPS has gone too far with that
attack on Fedex in my town.

I agree. What happened to having a nice, civilized gang war?

Yeah, why not - in 100 years it won't matter (or something to that half-encouraging effect). Sure, people are free to their own opinions, but they would be liable - which sucks completely.

The quote was "in a 100 years we'll all be dead" which is only meant to say don't worry about trivialities. Your interpretation is not what I meant at all.

High-profile cases - same with teenagers isn't it?

Recent studies showed that 40% of teenagers did blah.

HELLO - that means the MAJORITY (60%) DIDN'T.

I'm watching this topic.

My point with bringing this fact up was that the motive behind the killings could be understood. If aspies kill because they feel the world hates them or they are hated, that is something that can be fixed or better, prevented. Being a general 'psycho' requires a bit more effort to remedy then a kid who feels he has nothing..

We have the knowledge

Well this relates back to what Werbert said "that anybody could kill under the right
conditions". Yeah that maybe true in theory but in practical life we are talking about
pyschopathic people (people with no empathy for others) , people with impulse control
problems(that act out in a violence in non-premediated rage).

For this site or even larger society to try to prevent a few acts of violence by a few random killers that happen to be on the autism spectrum is nearily impossible. Basic
research in treating depression , anxiety and impulse control will do far more to reduce
human misery among aspies than trying to reach the few killers that slip between the cracks.

Well if the world is a computer simulation the answer is likely yes.

But in such a world of computer simulations we are not seperate copies of each other
or parent and child processes. We are just very simular programs running in a narrow
band of memory known as the WP. Like likes like so we tend to get caught in the same
loops at WP.

you mean two hearts, one mind.

The Phil Collins song was written about Werbert & TM1

Two Hearts

Featured on the soundtrack of "Buster", 1988

Well, there was no reason to believe she'd always be there
But if you don't put faith in what you believe in
It's getting you nowhere
Cos it hurts, you never let go
Don't look down, just look up
Cos she's always there to behind you, just to remind you

Two hearts, believing in just one mind
You know we're two hearts believing in just one mind

:lol:

off topic - sorry

I hate this whole "litigation culture" nonsense.

If it does go to court, I'm more than willing to lend support to Alex and WP, both financially and as a witness to defend the site.

It's about time people stopped trying to blame others for their own stupidity.

This litigation culture is causing far too much damage.
