Autism Friendships

Yeah I know what you mean, I also love history. Wildlife and aviation are also good topics for me. I also like reading about science and maths. I've just started reading a fictionalised account of the war of the roses. Which is so enjoyable. What I've done is immerse myself in my interests. I've tried to be a norm, but now it's time for me to enjoy myself. And if that's reading for an hour every night then so be it. 

Fictionalised counts can be interesting - I often go over on my head how things might have turned out if you tweak ineveff vs ent in history. So what historical eras interest you most? 

At the moment it's the whole French revolution and napoleon era. Yeah have you seen the man in the high tower TV series that's very interesting?

There's so many times in history that could've changed quite easily. 

Taking a life is too quick. It doesn't do a couple of things. It doesn't allow for mistrials, corruption and failure of the justice system. I would want the person to rot to truly understand the pain they have caused. An execution doesn't allow for that. Logically, it doesnt.....say they execute the person they assume commited those crimes and then years later, the rapes continue? You've just murdered an innocent person.

There is no reasoning, if your child was murdered or raped, would you want the person responsible dead? Answer the question

What's the point......If I take the reasoning I usually would you'd just accuse me of being arrogant,,,,as you have already but the death penalty is something you can never come back from. There was a time when countries prided themselves on not having the death sentence. A more civil time when countries weren't full of reactionaries. I'm not a religious man and I won't say only god decides but there are far better solutions and I'd prefer not to drag us back down to the level of Saudi.

It would be a well needed deterrent. Does rape and murder have a place in modern day life? You need to wake up and take a look outside, you're heads in the sand. 

You said "let's bring back hanging" what would that achieve? I chose to ignore because the death sentence has no place in modern society. Simple and it came about 10 comments after the point I made about something else so it came from nowhere.

Yes those are crimes that people could be sentenced to death for. How do you not understand this? I don't understand you, one minute you barge into a hypothetical conversation with a load of facts where they aren't needed. And then offered the chance to properly debate you refuse?? 

Going off on a tangent about rapists and violent crimes and then trying to belittle people by saying "ohhh read some books".....I wasn't measuring sod all. But you have proved my point.

Well count me out. I've been on less aggressive opposing teams football forums (the irony of the title) and I apologise to Anthony as it was you who made the belittling comment about me reading some books (I worked bleedin hard to get that A-Level).. Best of luck.

OK, why don't we all come back tomorrow and have a proper debate then? I think that would be a much better idea. 

I’m just going to leave this forum I think. I’m done. Take care guys! 

None of it’s made up.

Point 1 is factually accurate - check it. I made no comment about you and books and your historical wasn’t belittled. 

Point 2 is factually accurate - see the post where you clearly imply you know more than others. For clarity I don’t consider myself better or worse than you when it comes to history. I think you know stuff I don’t and I’d hope the same is true of me. 

Point 3 is factually - I welcomed historical input, I did agree with you on 19th century influence - both facts. I also do find you draining - subjective but you can take is as a factual representation of my opinion.

So where’s the half I’m making up? I’ll repeat the key point in making:

Your historical views are welcomed by me.  your attitude towards others is where my issue is.

On that note this ‘discussion’ has no benefit for you or I. I’m sure like me you have better things to do - so let’s just agree that we clearly don’t get on very well, we both have interesting historical views and that we need to draw a line under this. 

You're making half of that up. I never once said I was superior to you. But I have spent lots of hours discussing this topic with a friend who indeed does have a Ph.D in history and I thought I'd contribute my opinions based on what I knew from final year project on European expansion and colonialism....clearly it wasn't welcome...I assumed you all knew what a forum was.

1. I’ve made no comment about you and books - please stop making false assertions. I did not belittle you at any point before you started bullying Rashford.so get your facts straight! 
2. You very clearly made the point that you feel you are more intelligent than others.
3. YET AGAIN - my issue is not your opinions - it’s you. If you actually read the thread I agreed with you about the 19th century’s influence. I don’t agree with all you’ve said, equally some I feel is valid. Things only got heated from my end when you started beating on about your intelligence being greater than anyone else’s. I 

There you go......of course I don't.....As I say, obnoxious.

No, my point was I have a different opinion to you based on what I've read on a set of events that led up to it and you both just went off on one, made belittling comments about me reading some books and have just gone off on one.

Yeah  we get it - your view was that you are more intelligent than anyone else. Point noted!

I gave my view, as should be welcomed on a thread where people don't go mad when someone disagrees and repeatedly says "it's basically chaos theory" and that anything can happen....just obnoxious.

Wow yeah you're such an expert on everything you're definitely right. I'm so offended you'd say this, the autism spectrum covers so many people. You of all people should know this 

....... said:

I think Rashford is an imposter....? Not even ASD? Just a fake trolling kid. 

It's fine to have strong opinions but do you really need to keep attacking 24hrs later?     Let it go......

I just find it interesting that autistic people often have a tough time interpreting what people say at the best of times but they both (Autism friendships in action I suppose) seem incredibly quick to interpret what I've said as some sense of superiority. I don't mention my qualifications in my profile, I don't mention them as they're not relevant.....except when challenged but yep. Strange.

I think Rashford is an imposter....? Not even ASD? Just a fake trolling kid. 

Old enough to know more than digitalised culture I would imagine, unlike a perosn who has been brought up by an algorithm. LOL

"because it's my system".....and you ask me how old I am? Anyhow, As I haven't been on this site for more than a few weeks, I suppose I didn't join this forum to pick a fight with a bullying troll....such a "positive person". I would hope no one did. But then, that's clearly the type who run this forum. Sad really.

ah I see what this is......he's expressed a view, lets -1 him for it. Clearly you don't like people who disagree or try to point our flaws in your points. Got ya ya. Won't bother again. Very "friendly".

Because this is my system, and if there is cctv evidence and several people have corroborated a story then its a cast iron case. If there is any doubt then the death penalty couldn't be given. 

I don't care about the US, this country's legal system is head and shoulders above theirs. 

How do you know that wouldn't happen? It's happened quite a bit in the US....video evidence, witnesses.....easily corrupted. It's something that can never catagorically be called fail safe,

Of course that wouldn't happen, it would only be for crimes that have been corroborated by numerous people. For example the guy on a London bridge who was running around cutting people with a sword.
