Avoid sarcasm and facetious remarks.
Without the voice inflection and body language of personal communication these are easily misinterpreted. A sideways smile, :-), has become widely accepted on the net as an indication that "I'm only kidding". If you submit a satiric item without this symbol, no matter how obvious the satire is to you, do not be surprised if people take it seriously.[
All I have to say is lol

“Even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable.”
And do you understand that while yes, there are certainly pragmatic problems with eugenics that MUST be curbed -- eliminating diversity, etc. -- there are positivies as well, like eliminating fatal/life-altering congenital conditions and the like*?
Edit:*To come full circle, you know. Like the autism you're (incorrectly) so DEATHLY AFRAID OF in vaccines that you'd rather children DIE OF PREVENTABLE DISEASE than contract.
You're not just wrong on many fronts, you're contradicting yourself too.
Is this post suggesting the elimination of autism, and that it would be a positive thing?

It's saying that idiotic people who are so afraid of an unfounded and unproven link between vaccines and autism that they rather let their children die from more serious and faster killing ailments than contract a mental disorder that they would have contracted anyway regardless of taking the vaccine to prevent their horrific deaths.
It's these two parts:

Maybe it's the placement of the first *, but my brain is reading them as autism being on the list of "things to be eliminated."
Guess I should have made that clear.
You're reading it wrong Drokin.
The eugenics part is about things like Parkinson.
The autism reference is about the fact that Lordgrim thinks that vaccinating children makes them autistic.

My son is autistic, and his biological mom is anti-vax because of it. There's just no reasoning with her. And even if they did have some sort of causal relationship (which I know there 100% is not), what good is withholding further vaccinations? Does she think he'll become double-autistic?
She completely ignores that there are people all throughout my family with autistic traits, both those diagnosed and undiagnosed. Myself included.
EDIT: I wouldn't "cure" it if given the option. Just as many lifelong Deaf people refuse cochlear implants. You're talking about fundamentally changing a person, all for the sake of making them easier for the rest of society to accept.
Yes, there are behavioral things that can come with it. Many times, they're co-morbid conditions, and not part of autism itself. If the worst struggle someone has is being non-verbal (or partially verbal like my son), or flapping their hands, or not making eye contact, where is the problem? There are some autistic people who would like to be "cured," but most that I've encountered just want to be accepted and reasonably accommodated, and there's nothing wrong with that. Similar to why public sidewalks are expected to be wheelchair accessible and the like.
there is no reasoning with a parent who believes they are protecting their child

Sometimes it's just about finding a coping strategy or accommodation. My son is sensitive to certain sounds, for example. Public restrooms tend to have high flush power toilets and those air hand dryers, and they normally make it hard for him to go in them. We take headphones with us pretty much everywhere we go, and he wears them when there's too much stimulation. They're not even noise-blocking headphones - they're XBox headphones. But the combination of altered perception and the pressure they provide is enough to let him go places like that without any issues.
EDIT: I'm also not saying that the option shouldn't be there, for those who want it. Just like my example of Deaf people and cochlear implants. Or technologies that are beginning to allow people who have been paralyzed to walk. There are plenty of people who would jump at the chance (no pun intended). But it should be up to the individual, not a requirement.

However, if we can cure autism at a young age where it hasn't affected the child's social development, what's the harm in getting rid of the mental disorder then?

Nothing has strayed too far from the topics you've introduced, and honestly, I'm amazed at the relatively low levels of vitriol involved for a P+R thread. People are actually debating (mostly refuting) your points.
So far, this has been the best case scenario for this thread. What's the complaint?

Well, sure. It's a crossover episode with the Corrupt-A-Wish thread:
"Granted! Your topic will get to ten pages, but no one will agree with you!"

Hell, I think we could have all agreed that nobody would agree with him since the OP.
Only he and like 2 others are crazy enough to believe the ***infowars puts out.

Or put it in their Swedish bank accounts. Swiss accounts are too easy to trace, but nobody bothers to check the Swedes.

Personally, I would only accept shady money in a bag with the symbol of the dollar on it.

Not me.
The bag would have to have the Euro symbol on it for me to take it.
