But wouldn't it be nice if Apple had to give back the good work they have done (built on the shoulders of giants)?
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to play with some of their goodies, just like they are playing with the BSD guys/girls goodies?
Wouldn't it just be nice to play with each others goodies? You know, to give back? Yes, Yes, YES, YES!
Elmo and Big Birds greatest hits? Nobody understands THAT shit anywho!
The kind of bars i go to would see your silly vague ass hanging from the antlers!:-)
I'm not saying i believe it is the vaccines... just that you second guess EVERYTHING. Maybe if...
i'm just saying you kick yourself ANYWAYS. It's probably like the people who don't believe in God, but don't take the lords name in vain just in case. Maybe if we had delayed giving him the vaccine. Maybe if i'd had different parents. Maybe if i hadn't eaten so many beets. Maybe....
And the one in 66 isn't due to vaccine causitive belief... 1 in 66 boys is a FACT! 1 in 66 boys born, 1 in 100 children (the autism rate in girls is much lower, and they don't know why yet). I was just stating a fact. But if you are the one in 66, it's like the machine gun bullet found you out of the 66 people heading over the wall. Why me? What if i'd gone over the wall a little slower?... what if i'd dodged left?... what if i hadn't eaten those beets the night before...
Just saying you grab at straws... BUT, you also head for facts, which is why we have him on the gluten free diet. He used to regurgitate his food until he smelled like bile all the time, his clothes, his hair, his breath, HIM! His behaviours were also wild and his pain threshold was extremely high: he'd hurt himself and we wouldn't know until we saw the bruise or cut (gluten acts like an opioid in his gut is the way it was explained to us). We grabbed at the straw that was the gluten free diet and it worked. Grabbing at that straw that is the vaccine long past is something you just do. You kick yourself and wonder.
Sometimes straws are all you have. That and booze.:-)
This desire to blame something tangible, to try to find something we could have done differently, is an emotional reaction and not a sound basis for medical advice. It's perfectly understandable, but understanding it is exactly why we shouldn't listen to it. I'm sorry about your kid, but there's nothing you could have done and not getting vaccines would have only been for the worse.
Some people would say the same about a belief in a God, that it is a need to blame something, an emotional reaction and not a sound basis for running your life, but a lot of people still believe.
As long as my son can no longer say 'butterfly' i will still kick myself and wonder (but no i dont believe in a higher power). I love my son, but when it is 4:30 a.m. you wonder and wish and wonder and wish. Lacking control is one thing... losing your son and sanity is another.
As in my post, i am NOT saying it IS the vaccines, just that as a parent of an autistic child, you punish yourself sometimes and wonder if, maybe, it COULD have been that (there is mercury in some vaccines which has been linked to a cause of autism).
The old 'woulda, coulda, shoulda'. Maybe if.... maybe if only.... what if....
If you were to have a child become severely disabled right before your eyes because of some other reason, you would grab at straws too.
I appreciate what you are saying and ESPECIALLY the way you said it: intelligently and like an adult. But yes, i still punish myself and wonder... maybe if the vaccine had, as you said, NOT been given at the age where the brain IS making a lot of changes...... wonder, wonder, wonder, punish, punish, punish.
And yes, lol, i know ALL about the sleeping on the floor in front of his door so he can't get out to wake everyone else up: i certainly can feel THAT pain and sympathize. Also, the gluten free diet IS helping make him a little more 'normal'. Best thing we ever did for him, expensive as it is.
Thank you for expressing yourself in an adult manner!
Mike.
Wow! You sure are a bitter person! Are you woken up at 4:30 a.m. because your autistic child won't go back to sleep? Do you have to spend $6.00 on a gluten free loaf of bread? Does it hurt when you remember what your son WAS like and wonder if he will ever be 'normal'? If so, i can see why you are so bitter.
If not, FUCK OFF!
WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES! Then maybe you can go all righteous on my ass. Put your venom away like i do with mine, and give someone a bloody, freaking hug! (That is if you have someone to hug... probably not with your hatred.)
Go beat up on an old lady now. Take her purse for good measure.
And have a nice day!
And then you remember that out of every 66 boys born today, one of them will become affected by some form of autism....
so those of you who are pregnant or have a wife/girlfriend/family member who is pregnant, ONE OUT OF SIXTY-SIX! If you like those odds, go for it and take no precautions, do the vaccinations. I for one would love to do it over, would love to have skipped the vaccines at least for a few more years. But to watch your 'normal' child who just learned to say 'butterfly' revert downwards and now his biggest recognizable word is 'Mum', you've got to think back to 'what could i have done'. maybe if we had put off the vaccines for a couple years....
Not saying it IS the vaccines, but as a father of an autistic boy, i sometimes think.
Those who are about to have a child... 1 in 66. 1 in 66. 1 in 66. Do you like the odds? Do you punk?

Personally I'm for printing it,not because I thought the man had any great insight, far from it
Have you read it? Wow, he could not hold a coherent thought, at least in verbally dictating it. What a rambling mess it is... except that all his plans and hate are in there. Hard (HARD) to read, but in reading between the lines you can see what Churchill and his spies, etc, saw coming. So yes, i am for printing it as his 'insights' ARE far from great... but the foreshadowing of something wicked this way coming (at least back then).............
2. He was shocked one of his services had woken up and hardened its password policy [FAIL - you should be encouraging this kind of behaviour, not dissing it - I'm pissed when I'm _not_ allowed to use special characters]
Amen to that.... not being able to input the characters i want is epic fail.
it's unfortunate that your experience with the Linux community left you with the impression that most are like that
I was once part of a team that tried to do the right thing and port a closed source app to Linux. Let's just say the reaction from Linux users was pretty much the opposite of what we expected--and made me vow to NEVER port to Linux again.
citation needed! please! which app that you are so proud of protecting?
