Miles. I am not a liar and autism is not a mental illness. My brain is different to yours, it is as simple as that. I don't really like labels and don't actually think they are often very helpful. I am not asking for sympathy or people to interact or treat me any differently online and it should be quite clear why I would not broadcast the fact here.

Despite claiming that you were constantly bullied from the first time I posted here on the whole you have been as guilty of gaslighting and displaying a breathtaking lack of empathy as anyone else.

Having worked supporting people at uni for 3yrs with a range of physical and mental barriers that made life much harder for them, I can honestly say none of them even came close to displaying the spite and vindictive ire stored up for certain posters on here.

Make of that what you will.

It is classified as a mental disorder and for years you said that there was nothing wrong with your mental health. I am not looking to nag away at this one, but merely saying that you have lied.

On the topic of me being bullied on here, I don't think there is any doubt that I was. However, I learned to start swinging and thus I did my swing thing. As you can see I am stronger than I have ever been.

The lack of empathy is an interesting one for me because what you consider lacking in empathy, I actually consider empathy. Thus when I highlight the harmful effect of single motherhood, you will berate me for my lack of care, but ignore the data out there that proves that it leads to bad outcomes. I recently read a book about Marilyn Monroe and it made me see that some people had it even worse than me. No idea who her dad was, a mother who abandoned her at 2 weeks, re-united, then abandoned again, and on and on it goes. Believe me, I have empathy and interestingly part of the deal of her first marriage at 16 was 'no children'. What an evil woman with no empathy right? What kind of young lady, having experienced sexual abuse prior, deny a souse a child? Maybe it was her way of caring. You have to put yourself in the footsteps of the damaged to have empathy and I think I can and do. I have plenty of empathy and see totally what damage only bad female role models and no good male role models does to people. Not absolute of course, but in the general it is true.


Or you might bring up illegal immigrants, but my empathy is more for the struggling in our own countries rather than everyone in the world. The empathy must come from those having the children and if life kind of sucks, then you have a duty to show a little concern and not have a lot of children. If you don't have resources then maybe don't have children. I consider that an empathetic position. You have spoken about downsizing, but why not instead just let an illegal immigrant stay with you? Admittedly, I am not that empathetic in a case like that. Thus evil me will say 'Don't have kids unless you have resources, two loving parents, and time to give'. Otherwise what is it for? Your ego? A being to be raised by the state? In a totalitarian system? Empathy works in different ways, not only your way.

You worked with a bunch of kids in a classroom setting. I am sure you never saw the full range of their feelings. I bet some even went online and said racy things. I have been around thousands of young adults and they are hardly going to be with me like they are when going hell for leather with Mum and Dad restricting their freedoms or telling them what to do. It is neither here nor there. There are different sides to everyone. And do not pretend you have not been one malicious bastard over the years and neither will I.

3. There are over a billion trees in England alone. 25 trees for everyone human. Unlike yourself I don't have to just rely on data I can walk down the road and see a tree every 10feet or I can get into my car and drive down the dual carriage way and there are still trees every ten feet. Or I can walk to two or three woodlands in any suburb of the city. Or I can drive for miles in the Devon or Cornwall countryside thru thousands of trees lining roads as canopy which the grandkids call tree tunnels. UK cities are full of trees and parks even huge cities like London. You it seems are full of doo doo.

Trees define the British landscape. Any Brit living here will confirm how ignorant your assertion there are not many trees in England is.

I can see a pattern of denial here you seem to share with the Internet data propaganda addicts you endorse. It's OK to admit you made a mistake.

And no unlike like Peterson you may not claim to know about zoology or animal biology of which we are all relatively ignorant, but I would also suggest your ignorance of religion is not your only other blindspot. Its not a criticism its a fact.

You could argue that people who believe in a fairytail are more ingnorant than people who dont believe.
If desert dwelling nomads are your thing then great.

You could indeed. Everyone though believes in something and you will find as much diversity of opinion among religious believers as you will in atheists.

You will find people using science, logic, money, politics, power, etc as an excuse for all kinds of barbarity including the two biggest wars we have ever had and the genocide of millions all over the world.

Before you said of was about 40 odd trees per person. You are downsizing, but regardless of if the woods are down the road or there are a few trees lining your street, the UK has remarkably few trees! I do not need to rely on data either as I have photographs to back up what I say. I have lived and traveled to countries with many and few trees. The Middle East is admittedly less abundant with trees than the UK, but other countries have FAR more trees than the UK. I have my own recorded data and the actual statistics to prove that I am not making things up. Even the London parks are not full of trees and I have pictures of them. There are trees, but it is mostly grass, a lake or two, and some admittedly very fine trees. These are trees. Many trees.

[Gandalf]

Proper trees. Mountain after mountain covered in trees.

Miles 'I recently read a book' seems to be for you a substitute for real life experience and something you seem to think makes you special, as though nobody else could be quite as erudite as yourself.

We all read books. Hundreds and in some cases thousands. Well done have a Blue Peter badge.

Choosing not to disclose or define myself by being on the spectrum is not an example of me telling lies. Why are you obsessed with trying to expose me as some kind of charlatan instead of just sticking to the facts in hand?

My mental health is fine. That is the whole point. I am not sick, for me the focus is a real asset. It gives me an edge that I would never sacrifice and I don't want to filter and censor myself here either just because you want to hide yourself away in an imaginary safe space.

Your unrelenting personal attacks i think makes your claims of having changed so much ring hollow.

[Beanz]

Ugh... What rubbish trees.

A picture of two trees is not a rebuttal.

Over a billion trees = More than a few

See you are just trolling now.

Are you blind? You are the one trolling. I am offering you statistics and my own recorded evidence. Those entire mountains stretching into the distance were layered with nothing but trees. I was at the top of a mountain covered in trees and that entire region of the country looks like that. There is nothing in the UK like that as nice as the UK countryside is.

How can you judge the tree quality from that distance? It's a long distance and is just a wall of trees.

[Beanz]

So your point is what? That the UK is not South Korea?

I don't know what you want me to say. Of course I love and hug trees. I am vehemently opposed to the government sell off of forests and I can see quite clearly that we can no longer sustain our timber needs domestically.

Should we cull some farms and estates and hunt feudal and corporate owners on horseback before replanting Broadwood? Probably.

[Gandalf]

No, just that the UK has few trees compared to many countries even within Europe.

I am not having a go at the English countryside which is charming, but I had never really noticed the lack of trees until it was pointed out to me and I did not stubbornly resist this simple truth year after year. I think I just said 'You are right' and that was the end of the discussion.

You can take a train from the North to London and there are a lot of farms and roaming sheep, but not many fully fledged forests. Of course there are woods and what have you, but it is mostly fields or low laying vegetation on the moors. The Pennines has forests, but it really is mostly barren wilderness.

Thank you for endorsing that I read books. Many people do not read books at all, but I do read and cannot help it. I am not as voracious as when I was young though.

I think you are fine too, old boy. But it was a lie to tell people who said that something was amiss that you were perfectly fine. I don't consider you a charlatan. I believe you when you say the things you have done.

I totally get where you are coming from and think we are probably a bit more alike than we would care to admit. We just do things differently. I am an eccentric and wouldn't want it any other way either.

Now if you will just concede on the damn trees then this tussle is done.
