Your command of the english language improves dramatically between carriage returns.

Is hard to explain, but it has something to do with essays and formal writing. That’s why for me longer sentences can always be better…  
And look i am least using my brain to try to contribute to the gun talk and showing that I know a bit of what I am saying…  
The more heat I get, the more stress and less good I am to develop as a poster.

Do like that one user who discussed my cut off points.

Yes, I know I sound a bit obnoxious, ignorant and silly. I have a bit of a learning disability. But help welcome me in. And I been poorly welcomed in into social groups as a kid hence the obnoxiousness.

I have low-self esteem still, people like to stigmatize me for my autism a lot, even still to this day.  
Hell even as a kid I didn’t have it easy, I remember being molested by my father a couple of times…  
I know this is something big to share…

Awww… poor little Luciano… that maybe the saddest thing I’ve ever heard… you’re breaking my heart…

As for the thread, is just me expressing my annoyance  
Because when ever a shooting comes up, the problem is once the talk is done is done. Is done for browny points, is not discussed seriously…

I want to see actually people discuss it more civil and calmly and have it driven by their politics…

Sorry if this came out as a troll thread to anyone.  
And as much i am trying to stay off political talk, problem is everything is turning political too quickly, even one of my teacher schools complains about how much information is not based off an agenda, no seriously I am not even kidding.

Is also almost as if you can’t maintain a neutral stance anymore, you’re labeled a racist or a mangina by both sides… And this can create a lot of stress…

Of course I can read the sarcastic tone in a post, not always though…

Ya think that’s big;  
Well I had it tough. I used to have to get up out of a shoebox at twelve o’clock at night, and lick the road clean with my tongue. I had half a handful of freezing cold gravel, drank a cup of sulfuric acid, worked twenty-four hours a day at the mill for fourpence every six years, and when I got home, my Dad and my mother would slice me in two with a bread knife and dance about on my grave singing ‘Hallelujah’.

CMC fnord!  
Anyone got a good recipe for a gravel and sulfuric acid casserole?

For me, and I think many many others, you’ve worn out any claim to the ‘Principle of Charity’.

:dubious: “Take advantage of you”?
