    scared for my daughter,obsessed with the dark

    Hope I can provide a perspective as that of the then teen (now young adult) involved in the goth subculture. Some parents wonder if their child is rebelling against them or society when they 'go goth' so to speak. For some that may well be the case; those instances aren't really all that common...

    Disabled Dating

    I have Asperger's Syndrome and I've dated both aspie and non-aspie men. The relationships I've had with aapie men tended to last longer and be of better quality. The only non-aspie ex I'm still on good terms with is a fair bit older than myself and his personality was rather similar to the aspie...

    Aspergers adults and romantic relationships

    I'm AS in a serious relationship with another AS. I find he balances me out a lot as his symptoms manifest less than mine. Besides it's mostly quirks e.g. his love of the texture of Egyptian cotton; his ability to create computer hardware, software and IT etc; his dislike of pulpy orange juice...

    My Life Thus Far

    I don't know if this belongs here. Moderaters feel free to move it if its in the wrong place. So it's been a few years since I last posted here. Thanks to study, work and personal stuff I haven't really had much time but I'm so glad to be back :clap:! Now some of you may remember this thread...

    Sunday Night - inside Australia's chilling new cult

    In regards to the OP; I too saw it that night and it was...chilling...to say the least. Having grown up in a cult myself (no claims of being Jesus though; just good-old mind control) I found the parallels highly disturbing. Everyone in my community thought the leaders, especially the senior...

    Anyone who likes Matisyahu here?

    Luvluvluvluv Matisyahu! I don't think he's anti-Christian at all; he doesn't tend to diss any faith. I mean, his songs "One Day" and "Shalom/Salaam" indicate his respect for all people. That said "One Day", "Shalom/Salaam", "Youth" and "King Without A Crown" are my favourites of his. I also...

    Armenian police target teenage rock cult

    And thus George Orwell's 1984 continues to be a reality. There is no way one can police "suicidal thoughts". And besides, most emos aren't even suicidal. Yes, in my own personal experience, I have encountered some emos full of wannabe-angst but they weren't in the majority. In trying to...

    What do you think of Monarchism?

    ^^ His name was Lenin. The tsars were horrible to the people. Unfortunately the Bolsheviks were worse.

    What do you think of Monarchism?

    Well Australia seems fine with it at the moment. But I can see why people in places like France and Iran got ticked off at their monarchs. I read the amazing graphic novel Persepolis and it's a real eye-opener as to why the 1979 Revolution occured in the first place and what happened when...

    Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree...

    It is a non-issue really. Not exactly newsworthy. Though it does remind me of how once, in one of my primary schools, my class was supposed to perform "Deck The Halls". Of course, being kids, we all decided to be stupid under the guise of being funny. Every rehearsal we'd go 'Don we now our...

    Rudd Steps Down As Oz PM

    Just finished watching Kevin Rudd's speech. Very emotional and this whole thing has been very messy. Julia Gillard will replace him to be the first female Prime Minister in Australia. You got to admit, he was stabbed in the back and hung out to dry by the ALP. Wow, politics is dirty...
