Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)
They keep saying on the news how the Oregon shooter had Asperger's just like the CT shooter. Being Aspie is not a mental illness - there's usually a high I.Q. and some specialized talent/knowledge/ability, but no framework for social b.s. The REAL common thread is both were young men of legal age with their mothers always around. People wired to be honest, straightforward, and loner-ish can't tolerate nagging, bullying, and nonsense. All they are saying about the mothers is that they both had guns - there's more to this.....
