the semitic religions are all about fucking suffering. to hell with that. i'm tired of the cultural calvinism.

we should be more buddhist and focus on the escape from suffering.

we should give the autistic this release before they're born into suffering. that is a humane act. let them be free.

why does everything on this blog always reduce to jessica's severe, utter hatred of christianity and other religious people?

it's not merely a question of "you fucking take care of them, then". it's the severely autistic people themselves that have to live through a condition of being unable to speak, or having to wear diapers into adulthood, or being stuck in perpetual pain. there's no way to attach dignity or meaning to this, and if your god insists on it then your god is a piece of shit that should be tied to a cross and set on fire and burned until it dies.

if we can eliminate that suffering before it starts, we should do that.

the life of a severely autistic person is horrendous. it's torturous; and it's a severe burden on others, as well.

christians that want to run their mouths off about individuality and uniqueness and god's plan in relation to the lives lived by the severely autistic are utter pieces of shit that deserve a fucking punch in the face, and that's not an autism joke either.

eugenics was not invented in germany. it's as american as apple pie.

hitler himself based his sterilization laws on american precedents, and pointed to american eugenicists like henry ford as inspirational heroes. 

the basic premise of eugenics - to improve the human race using science - is laudable, even if the experience with it 100 years ago freaked a lot of people out. if we can find genetic diseases like tay-sachs and eliminate them, we should do that. autism isn't quite like that as the mutations are largely de novo, but we could identify the types of mutations that lead to extreme retardation and implement abortion as a humane alternative to raising severely retarded children. that type of eugenics is the utilization of science for public policy, which is truly progressive, and something we should be embarrassed about abandoning, as a society, in favour of empty conservatism and trite christian platitudes that help nobody.

the problem with eugenics as it was practiced was that it was wrong. genetic superiority is today understood to be maximized via the highest levels of variation, not by minimizing variation and enforcing conformity. there is no correlation between eye colour and intelligence. etc. the eugenics movement happened before watson & crick; they didn't even know what dna was at all!

our far superior understanding of dna should help us more effectively improve humanity via science, and that's the kind of politics i want to support, not some right-wing bullshit about being afraid to "play god".

there is no such thing as god; it's a stupid, facile idea for the intellectually feeble. we have the science. let's use it, but let's do it correctly.

it should at this stage be up to the mothers, but i would strongly support using dna testing to find extreme cases of autism before they develop, and abortion as a legal solution, when it is positively identified, with high probability to total certainty. we are not far from that.

these idea do not come from the nazis. they were pioneered by american progressives in the 1910s and 1920s, mostly west of the rockies, such as hiram johnson, who as the governor of california sterilized millions of americans.

is this a potential stonewall moment for the animal rights movement?

it would appear to be based on fear, rather than science. it's not acceptable.

i'll watch this a little later, once i have cleared some space on the table, so i can smash my head against it, which is not an autism joke.

the president has no remote mandate or authority for this. this is insane.

this is worth impeaching him over via s. 4 of article 25.

giving kids b9 supplements is probably harmless, so long as it's not excessive.

however, i am absolutely certain that autism is not a vitamin deficiency and that cases of autism that are "cured" by administering any vitamin are in truth misdiagnosis, which brings up another issue - the over-diagnosis and misdiagnosis of autism in place of issues like child abuse and malnutrition.

i'm just trolling, now.
