Well, Quiet Voice's theory that all autism is caused by vaccines wouldn't be taken seriously. Some historical figures clearly had Asperger Syndrome but there were no vaccines. For example, Hans Christian Anderson who wrote The Ugly Duckling. Very autistic - his mother died in an asylum. Yet, no vacc...

It may be wise to avoid airing heated political views given the current globally heated situation. Myself I'm pro Israel and always have been but to get into arguments over geopolitical issues normally leads to nowhere. People polarise one side or the other. I do agree with Q.V. in as much as I alwa...

Marks mostly. Stalin was Georgian

Hilary Clinton apparently noticed anti Israel protesters simply lack knowledge of history, more so ancient. Anti semitism is mostly a religious divide when christians and Jews split culturally. Those who were raised in Christian countries were raised to mistrust non christian minorities. As happens ...

Well, first wrong is to assume people are good or bad based on race. Jewish people are good or bad, the same as all of us. It's not anti semitic to disagree on Israel's policies at any time but it is shaky to exact standards on their country while not applying the same to others. We see double stand...

Over the last year, I've had to face up to very stark realities. Prior to that, I tended to try and shrug things off. The biggest overall acceptance was I decided my strength in life would be to be self-sufficient and not to rely on other people - even family. I attempted to develop self-acceptance,...

Some thoughts on a random person I came to know who seems to have Asperger Syndrome. It illustrates some harsh realities - especially how those who really are high-functioning autistic differ from the media view. When I first encountered Mr Pickles in my local shop (now closed down), he struck me as...

I had a feeling Quiet Voice bought into the Jewish conspiracy line, which is why I ignored the question. Maybe two years ago, I got banned from the David Icke forum for "wobbling" the anti Jewish members, given I know a fair bit more on ancient history than they do. They had no answer to m...

The fulgurator was a priest who interpreted the areas struck by lightning for omens. A bit like reading tea leaves. Bird flights were studied. Sometimes the psychics accurately predicted future events such as the Trojan War as a ten year conflict. As for Apuleius, I have his huge witchcraft case to ...

As to things getting "bumpy" it's a good thing I wasn't based in Australia at the time of the hysteria. Had they knocked on my door to arrest me for having left the house, the response from my part would have done John Rambo proud, I imagine. Seems to me, though, civilisations decline. I'm...
