You're right, I do have a life-crisis stemming from my AS. And I'd be lying if I said I don't need help. Postpaleo, I would welcome anything you could do for me. To be honest, I am not a confrontational person.

Nor am I dude. Have my own problems with rages among other things. Life can toss some nastys at us all. And we all have our bad days. And sometimes we just plain misunderstand each other, even here.

That's the beauty of this place. If I don't have an idea, someone else will be along that will. I'm no expert in all of life, that's for sure.

I see it as more of a "discussion" than a "confrontation". If I came across as confrontational well, that was never my intent, and I apologize.
But I will not sit mutely by either.
Having been the "underdog" for so many years taught me that it is just plain wrong to stand by and do, or say nothing.

If I am going to be "my Brothers keeper" that means ALL my brothers, not just the ones who lifestyles I condone.

What's left to discuss at this point? Everything has been laid bare.

Well, hummmmm, you could lay me bare. I'll warn you now, it wouldn't be a pleasant sight.
And people think I'm kidding when I say I can scar them for life.

And yeah I could have taken that a lot further. They (voices in my head mostly) have to keep reminding me this a family site.

I can do it mentally too. Generally I like to take their brain out, play with it, and put it back in, backwards.
Sometimes they're the better for it. I never did play well with others, so I got better at it. :wink: :roll:
In the olden golden days we called it the head game.

And I never did understand why most think the past is always so much more pleasant or can tend to be.
I think it's just selective thinking and the older you get the more selective you can be.

Well I suppose we could talk about the weather and I still have a great deal on Rolex's.

It's so nice when people take the time to really understand one another. :D

Do I have any business being on this thread at all? I don't know. I like to roam the threads and the forums. I've posted on the Women's Forum, I've posted on forums which do not directly apply to me. I get bored between replies and tend to jump all over the place. I appreciate the offer PostPaleo, but I you know I prefer women. :wink:

All over WrongPlanet, other members continue to challenge me in ways good and bad. Discussions just like this one always remind me to have humility and not to commit the sin of Pride. Thank you!

My wife prefers men, I'm not always sure I fit the profile of what a man is supposed to be. I seem to have the right plumbing , but my mind does tend to like to play a lot. 8O

I have learned very little from those that agree with me. Always big exceptions to that generality. Some have gone where I haven't I just sort of tag along behind them.

I've known some gay people who were great people. I've known some who were jerks. I had one gay neighbor who I had to literally threaten with violence to get him to stop coming up behind me and touching me. (Not because he was gay; I'm an aspie, I don't like anyone touching me by surprise except my wife and kids.)

Point being, gay people are first and foremost people. Some good people, some bad - their sexual preferences don't seem to have any bearing on the issue.

I've also known some Christians who were great people, very accepting (one might even say Christlike - read how He treated those who were different from Him, especially social outcasts like lepers and tax collectors), and some who were - well - less than wonderful human beings. Religious faith has a bit more bearing on this, but is still not a determinant.

As Depeche Mode sang, "People Are People"...
