I know what he said and how it translates into human language and I have to disagree.

That's a fundamentally uninteresting thing.

To our "Gnome" friend: I don't fear you here or on WoW. I actually find you to be a delicious after-meal mint.

And you may make Richard look like Richard Simmons... but I make him look like a comatosed Shirley Temple.

Nah, you make him look like that kitten hiding inside the slipper.

My evil knows no bounds.

And that's why I love you. *Smothers Lisa in kisses*

You mean drinks can become comatose?

Probably.

My people believe they mourn for us when we don't drink them.

According to martin the martini, it hurts them.

It would explain how we're the sixth biggest drinkers in the world per capita.

It doesn't sound impressive until you see the list and realise that we're a first world country that hasn't been full of civil strife for decades. Then, we just look like alcoholics.

Do Aussies drink martinis? They seem more like lager people to me.

Beer and spirits, mostly.

Spirits if we want to get drunk now, beer if we're going to be drinking all day. Usually, spirit-drinkers graduate to beer when they're drunk enough.

Was there actually a garden gnome in here earlier claiming power over Richard, or did I dream that?

Probably. All sorts of people like to exaggerate their features.

Males in particular.

I have stopped drinking as much. I think it would have lead me into becoming a morose drunk too often

Anyone know the most drinking done per capita? My bet is either russia or ireland

Czechoslovakia is number one or two, from memory.

Russia is top five and Ireland is fourth. Australia is sixth. The others are down-trodden European countries.

Ironically, the U.S. isn't in the top five and, if I remember correctly, not even in the top 10. Somehow, we have the most alcohol-related incidents though. I say it's because we treat driving as a right more than a privilege.

not even top 25

Russia also nowhere near top-5

Depends on what year you're asking, I suppose.

Hmm just noticed the intro thread <.< prolly shoulda used this first

um okay

welcome to the club

That's a mildly impressive way of saying you have stunted social growth. With a little work, it could sound officious.

That would be a handy speech to memorise.

its a part of a package deal for having asperger syndrome gots it pros and cons it lets me on the pros not feel peer pressure at all,makes my mind more logically wired then it would be otherwise and assists in allowed me to not see stupid social rules that make no sense at all as I dont learn them inuitively and have to learn them like one would learn a subject at school on the con side it means I piss off alot of people at school because of how different I act and my statements about people.

VSummaryV

I have asperger syndrome,for those who are unwarare asperger syndrome is on the higher functioning end of the autistic spectrum. Which impairs social skills among other things.

5 edits to get one post to sound right.... man I gotta re read these before posting them.

And there's a good chance that I'm in possession of a medically depressive and/or anxious personality. My mood swings do seem to have more dips than rises.

Of course, if you're still pissing people off through high-school, that's not a disability. That's just idiocy. Being unable to replicate the necessary emotional response to a stimulus is one thing. Being unable to intuitively understand social convention is one thing. Not being able to learn to shut up until you know how to avoid pissing somebody off is something very different.


I'm very dismissive of anybody who puts their being offensive on the doorstep of anything other than them being a jerk.

If you hadn't guessed, verb here is our resident arsehole

Hello new people, pleasure to meet you

I'd say at least half of my school is jerks maybe more, getting whipped by stretched out springs, stinkbombs , fights , being overly rude to teachers for no reason, laziness , throwing test papers at other students in the middle of tests and theft of property counts as jerkish behaviour right?

I'm one of the few people who actually follows the rules at school and belives the rules are there for a reason which is among other things why I piss people off that and when a class decides to talk all day in class then ask the teacher to give mark them easy when they havent even done anything to deserve an easy marking leaves me calling them lazy idiots who cant prioritise and expect others to make it easier on them for their own laziness. thats what I mean by piss people off, I piss off people who dont follow the rules as I tell on them, I piss people off because I have disgusting habits which help me manage my stress and anxiety levels and I piss people because I lack any tact whatsoever.


He is? I thought he was just stating his opinion on a matter hmm my definition of assholeish behaviour may be a bit different what you define as an asshole then.

Then your alleged disability has nothing to do with you pissing people off. You've calculated the responses and, knowing the likely reaction, you've acted in such a way that people will be displeased with you.

...

That wasn't especially assholeish. That was more sardonically dismissive. There are a lot of things I choose not to express here because it's not the proper forum, so to speak.

It's not an "alleged" disability I unlike some people who claim to have Aspergers have been properly diagnosed by 2 professional doctors as having Asperger Syndrome and have to take medication Cypranil (I think that is how its spelt), Ritalin though were using a slower acting version of that now which releases itself into the body over time so that I don't have to keep taking the tablets at least twice a day at midday when class is still going.

and also on a random note what does sardonically mean out of curiosity?

and I piss people off because they have gone out of their way to piss me off so much throughout high school i.e the whipping with springs, the stink bombs, theft of my property and some random female who decided it was smart to spray someone who was known to have issues controlling their anger in their eyes with deodorant because my friends happen to sit within 20 metres of their territory for want of a better term though I guess place where people of a social group usually sit could be substituted <.<. I have had people giving me shit for the last 11 fething years, Ignoring bullies doesn't work, Fighting them, biting them and losing controls of ones anger at them doesn't work, telling on them can work but is by far to inconvenient to repeatedly do the best defense to stop the bullies offense I found was funnily enough a offense of my own. So I think my jerkish behavior to these people is somewhat justified under the circumstances.

Sardonically is sort of like sarcasm only more so. At least I think so.

Is it just me or does the American schooling system sound like a living nightmare?

I haven't had the chance to wave hello to the newbies, so I won't. I'll just offer some much needed advice: don't take anything Verby-kins says literally. He just like to ruffle fur. Want to make him smile? ...Give him a big 'ol hug and tell him how much you adore his existence. I do!

You allege you have a disability. You may or may not believe this allegation. Unrelated to your beliefs, it may or may not be true.

Since I can allege to being a seventeen year old girl named Chloe who has a secret unicorn fetish, and have before, I tend to be a little skeptical of people who claim something because it justifies their behaviour. And Asperger's is the new number one self-diagnosed Internet Disease.

You may well have it, I don't much care either way. I tend to view it as comparable with ADD and depression - something that can be dealt with. You can't make it go away with willpower but you can control how you act.

I like that. It makes me smile a lot. Not your pain, personally, but the fact that it comes from a belief instilled in so many children that life is fair. That there is a way to "deal with" bullies. Having been on both ends of it, I know very well how little truth there is in that concept. The only reason people hang on to it is that it's such a reassuring justification for all the small-minded petty attacks they send the other way.


Sounds alright to me.

Just make sure you're on the giving end.

I've heard they actually try to feed kids at American Schools!

That's a myth. All it is, is the left over decrepit cardboard of former books that the government said they couldn't burn or give away to third-world countries.

Sounds nice.



If your little 80 pound 15 year old....

Please. At fifteen, I had a full-time job.

At fifteen....I think Highschool killed me.

So, does that mean you're no longer using your bodyparts? I have thus sudden urge to reenact "Weekend at Bernie's."

No. All I can say is. Richard.

Shh goverment secret

Hi.
My name is Chad. My nickname is Sasquatch to my family and friends, and I'm Bigfoot online. This is my nickname because I am quite tall at 6'8" and have a lot of hair. I like it a lot.
I'm 17, and am currently in High School in Sidney, Ohio.
Also, for any of you that know what it is, I'm a a /b/tard. Don't worry, I come in peace.
I like to play games, and I also like to read a lot of books, mostly thriller, suspense, and sci-fi to an extent.
I play Guild Wars, and that is the only online game I play. Other than that I surf /b/, talk with my friends, or listen to music.

You're a Yeti? ...I thought I wiped those out years ago. Oh, well, I suppose as long as you refrain from breeding, we'll be fine. In the meantime, don't mind the shock collar I'm placing on you. Its for my own amusement.

Can we keep him? I'm sure the kids would love having a pet.

I was thinking the same thing.. but... wouldn't they consider that cruel and unusual punishment? ...you know... Putting a yeti against our kids?

Not where I come from.

I want one!

Wong, you've never met the combination of David and I... Its frightening. Let me tell you.

Little sexual deviant Taoists running around, whipping anything that moves.

So, who's bright idea was it to create Sayvid?

The little sperm cell that beat the odds and went all the way.

YOURS

Personally I am not having kids, I am depressive enough to not want to inflict that on young children

...over the internet.
