  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hmm.. interesting. So the general conscientious is that autistic people lack empathy? Or that they just have trouble displaying it?

I actually don't remember a time where I didn't like being touched. I actually don't mind it at all. Anyone on this forum could just walk up to me, start petting my mustache and I would be standing there thinking, "How am I going to respond to this?"

Eww.. the thought of someone doing that to me makes me sick.

I'm glad I'm a guy though, at least they tend to be less huggy. Even if many people think my aversion to contact is extreme, even for a man.

Heavens no! I just enjoy the art, not the cosplaying. There is no way I could go out in public dressed like an animal. I am actually capable of shame even if my posts suggest otherwise.

I guess? Personally I think people should do what they want and not worry about being ashamed. I don't like other people dictating my tastes and attitudes.

I told her she looked like a transexual but the damage to my self esteem was done.

Oh, wow.

IDK I'm pretty compassionate towards trans people. So I'd never say that myself. Those people go through a lot. Maybe in the future find something different to insult with.

I'm sure you're not ugly though. Everyone has physical faults. Even the pretty women (who often only look good until they get into their later 20s).

Whenever someone insults me, it's fun to think about how I can insult them back. Even if they seemingly are perfect. If you can find that one hidden/subtle fault you can really catch them off guard. Lol.

It used to be thought that we lacked empathy altogether. Hans Asperger even called us 'Autistic Psychopaths'. Recently, they're starting to find that we are capable of empathy, but don't know how to display it properly.

Psychopaths are the opposite. They understand how you feel, they just don't feel bad for you. At all.

Eww.. the thought of someone doing that to me makes me sick.

I have had that happen to me on several occasions. Mostly by women, children, and the mentally disabled. Didn't faze me one bit.

I guess? Personally I think people should do what they want and not worry about being ashamed. I don't like other people dictating my tastes and attitudes.

There are many things I enjoy that I prefer to keep to myself. I don't like being judged and ridiculed.

Alright, that's what I thought.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder if life would be better as a psychopath. They can actually induce that state in the lab with magnets. The effect lasts a few hours. The man who went through the experience said that being a psychopath is like living life slightly buzzed from wine yet in total intellectual control. Scarily he said it was quite pleasant and peaceful.

There are many things I enjoy that I prefer to keep to myself. I don't like being judged and ridiculed.

Sometimes I think we should become desensitized to ridicule though.

When she started going off on how ugly I was, I was like shes got to be joking, like even if I was that ugly who rips into someone over their looks like that. Then I was like are you serious and she said did you want me to lie? Thats when I was like screw this I'm done. She was suppose to be a christian too my goodness.
