**Qin** is given a free pass more often than not. Most of us are aware that he is young, but if a mature anti-sex, pro-war, pro-death penalty, jingoistic poster hinted that homosexuals are freaks and can be cured (see below), he would be rightfully called to task. He’s not just a kid, he’s an angry, hateful kid with little if any positive input on any topic, which is too bad, because he does seem to be big of brain. Last time I checked, meanness is not a symptom of Asperger’s. (Before you flip out again, **IC** , **Qin** admits to trolling his family and classmates, too.)

> Well I believe its possible-so actually this view offers more hope to pedophiles rather than just “Oh well you’ve been born a freak, too bad”.
