There are a lot of the kaftatrap that goes on there, like ''you're snowflakes for thinking we're snowflakes!'' sort of thing. Just everlasting bickering that goes round in circles, and the person with the best vocabulary skills wins. I have very little vocabulary skills so I don't win arguments so easily on here. I find it hard to find the right words, the big words, to get people to understand.

I'm glad I found the word ''kaftatrap'' on another forum elsewhere and looked up what it means because it's much better than breaking it down in boring, simple words.

Using one word that means several words is much easier, but requires vocabulary skills and intelligence. It's a bit like saying ''A, B, C, D....'' rather than just saying ''the alphabet''.

So very tempted to send a threat to someone.

I won't because it's immoral.

But f**k anyone who hates me or thinks I'm broken.

I'm one of the smartest people I know and having an obsessive type brain that isn't too stupid to notice the details is a very good reason why I am that way.

If someone wants to push eugenics for a 'condition' they have themselves, well, unless they're in a genuinely good idea to do it situation, they have the ability to do it.

I would be better off talking to a therapist.

If you can't respect that I have a mental illness, do not berae me for having a mental illness.

And if you're thick enough to think I'm talking about autism here, you're not paying f*****g attention.


You can get a therapist and be on this site. And even other sites.

Even sites about other conditions if it helps you (tho I advise not claiming to have a diagnosis or anything in most cases).

Being on this site for therapeutic purposes is hard because some people here are so proud of how they are that they think everyone always has to put up with it all the time. And they are never willing to change their behavior to make any concessions for anyone else.

Autism/aspergers is not all negative IMO, but it’s also not all positive.

Same with anything.



I agree.

But don't agree that there's anything good about having social anxiety disorder.

I wish I could go back to being independent again. That was ideal.

Are there eugenics proposals? That would have been a very serious thing.

Not officially, no.
But then, people being gang-stalked by their governments happens but isn't advertises either.

There are 'Black Operations' by governments that experiment on their citizens.
A couple of the better-known ones are The American MK Ultra mind-control experimentations and the American syphilis infections on the Black Community.

Quote:
Project MKUltra (or MK-Ultra), also called the CIA mind control program, is the code name given to a program of experiments on human subjects that were designed and undertaken by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, some of which were illegal.[1][2][3] Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs and procedures to be used in interrogations in order to weaken the individual and force confessions through mind control. The project was organized through the Office of Scientific Intelligence of the CIA and coordinated with the United States Army Biological Warfare Laboratories.[4] Other code names for drug-related experiments were Project Bluebird and Project Artichoke.[5][6]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_MKUltra

Quote:
The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male[1][2][3] (informally referred to as the "Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment," the "Tuskegee Syphilis Study," the "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the African American Male," the "U.S. Public Health Service Syphilis Study at Tuskegee," or the "Tuskegee Experiment") was an ethically unjustified study conducted between 1932 and 1972 by the United States Public Health Service (PHS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).[4][5] The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis. Although the African-American men who participated in the study were told that they were receiving free health care from the federal government of the United States, they were not.[6]

Well, the reality is, PPR is dominated by the left these days.
It has been like this for years.
It was supposed to change, and it has to *some* degree, but it still has predominantly left-leaning favouritism.

A 'platform', in principle, should be a place for open, even discussion from either side, but this clearly isn't the case.


It certainly wasn't dominated by the left 2 years ago. Wall-to-wall alt-right flamebait, with all the flamer's little mates waiting in line to kick the crap out of anyone who took the bait. A lot of those people seem to have either toned it down or moved elsewhere since then.

I know what I experienced. You disagree. Possessing as I do a rudimentary sense of irony, I'll leave it there.

Both are still happening, to the delight of the oppressors of both: the capitalists.

I hate it when people argue that "women are equally as capable of murder than men but are better at getting away with it". It's not true. In the existence of humankind there are far more murders committed by men than women. And most women murderers were actually helping a man murderer. A woman going out on a murdering rampage is very rare. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's rare. It is more common for a murder to be committed by a man. Just accept the fact and move on.

However, victims of murder can actually be both men and women. Usually women are victims of mugging or rape, but I'm talking about murdering here. A man walking alone in the street at night has the same chances of being stabbed as a woman walking alone in the street at night.
