"Dancing With Myself"

On the floor of Tokyo
Or down in London town to go, go
With the record selection
And the mirror's reflection
I'm dancing with myself

When there's no-one else in sight
In the crowded lonely night
Well I wait so long
For my love vibration
And I'm dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
Well there's nothing to lose
And there's nothing to prove
I'll be dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance

[Scat]

Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself
Dancing with myself

If I looked all over the world
And there's every type of girl
But your empty eyes
Seem to pass me by
Leave me dancing with myself

So let's sink another drink
'Cause it'll give me time to think
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
And I'll be dancing with myself

Oh dancing with myself
Oh dancing with myself
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance
If I had the chance
I'd ask the world to dance

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Coughlin

Early in his career Coughlin was a vocal supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his early New Deal proposals, before later becoming a harsh critic of Roosevelt... He was an early supporter of Roosevelt's New Deal reforms and coined the phrase "Roosevelt or ruin", which became famous during the early days of the first FDR administration. Another phrase he became known for was "The New Deal is Christ's Deal."

Coughlin's support for Roosevelt and his New Deal faded later in 1934, when he founded the National Union for Social Justice (NUSJ), a nationalistic worker's rights organization which grew impatient with what it viewed as the President's unconstitutional and pseudo-capitalistic monetary policies...

Among the articles of the NUSJ, were work and income guarantees, nationalizing "necessary" industry, wealth redistribution through taxation of the wealthy, federal protection of worker's unions, and decreasing property rights in favor of the government controlling the country's assets for "public good."[10] Illustrative of his disdain for capitalism is his statement that, "We maintain the principle that there can be no lasting prosperity if free competition exists in industry. Therefore, it is the business of government not only to legislate for a minimum annual wage and maximum working schedule to be observed by industry, but also to curtail individualism that, if necessary, factories shall be licensed and their output shall be limited."

...BTW, oh One-Eyed God of Wisdom, which of the above policies would you DISAGREE with?

Ahem.

So, I notice that you like to put your Keyboard in motion before putting your Asperberger brain in gear in order to propogate lies which induce hate and are likely contribute to a possibele "spiral of violence".

When will you stop?

Jimmy's point is that it's Okay for him to obsessivelly stalk, be meanly antagonistic and creepy crazy as long as his victim, ahem, target, is in his eyes somehow

WRONG.

The fact that he gets his little man jollies from it is entirely beside the point. Right jimmy?

Worse than that, he uses employment issues stemming from my Asperger's to call me a lazy hobo. He's a first-class jerk.

Which is really funny, coming from him. Don't forget, he's a guy who revels in having spent his entire life doing nothing but sucking from the public tit.

I'd prefer an honest, as-yet-unemployed young person to a lifelong never-had-a-real-job parasite, anyday.

Funny how many of the right-wingers that blast "socialism" benefit from a government check. I get the feeling what they really mean is that they don't want money going to "those people" (blacks, single moms, the mentally ill or disabled, etc), they are perfectly fine with themselves getting government money because they are "hard-working REAL Americans" that "Deserve It".

Especially when a person cannot be discriminated against not having a job or a career.

Huh? I'm not sure I follow you.

Oh, that reminds me, the owner of Free Republic, Jim Robinson, is in a wheelchair and gets a government disability check. Nice hypocrisy there, RimJob.

Asberger's still shouldn't keep Odin from becoming a productive member of society. Its will power on his part.

1. I'm currently working my way though college.

2. I AM employed though a temp company that finds job sites for the disabled. it has a workshop for the severely mentally disabled, but also finds job sites for the physically disabled, mildly mentally disabled, mentally ill, and people on the autism spectrum. I'm currently a janitor at a local church.

Glick was accusing me of being a lazy bum because I cannot tolerate working in a common McJob. "willpower" does not eliminate my sensory sensitivities and my impairments in non-verbal communication, that later making me scared to death of accidentally pissing off a supervisor with an ego.

To a large extent. Of course, that is in no small part a function of age and experience.

We were all young and ignorant once. More than just once, in fact; we all spent a fairly sizeable period of our lives that way.

----

-edit-

I see Odin just made the point I was trying to obliquely hit at. Was and is don't mean as much when we talk about a younger person as they do when we talk about someone who has already had sufficient opportunity to have made something of themselves. For the young, we're not unreasonable to put at least a tiny bit more faith in will be. Even moreso if their vector is good.

I would probably have finished college and have a decent job by now had I not lost my Pell Grant eligibility because of changes in my parents' income, and I sure as hell am not gonna take out student loans, so I am paying my way class by class.

I'm majoring in Foreign Languages, BTW, with an emphasis on Spanish. I may add a Hindi emphasis, too. I am hoping to be a translator, translating text from English to Spanish. It's a good job someone with Asperger's.

I am sorry. Its no excuse on my part to project anything on this.

Good man. It's only harder at first; afterwards, you'll be free. That's an even bigger deal once you are there than it sounds beforehand. I hope you are damned proud of yourself for doing it that way.

If you have time, I'd recommend possibly doing a turkik language instead (or in addition to) an indian one. There's a big swath of the globe that speaks turkiks (all the way from turkey out to china, really); that's also an area where you're going to find relatively fewer english-speaking locals to compete with you. And what's more, it's an area that is definitely in an upwards-trend in terms of value to the world at-large.

If you speak, for example, Turkish, you'll be able to get by pretty well (or even just plain pick up) Kazakh, Uzbek, Armenian, Kyrgyz, Azeri, and so on. At least the swear words are pretty close to all exactly the same.

My advice is free, and unfortunately worth exactly what you pay for it. But there it is, nonetheless.

This thread got completely out of hand. Infractions have been given.

Tone down the personal attacks. In fact, avoid them. Use the ignore feature or find other ways not to respond in such a manner.

Sounds like a good fit. In your posts you have shown a real knowledge of languages; structure, and tenses and lots of other things I don't understand at all.

Personally I think we all exist on a spectrum of dysfunction, specific wrongness is a varying template superimposed on this continuum by various social structures in time. I'm not sure if this makes any sense at all I just thought of it...

Thanks for the suggestion, The Altaic Languages are an interesting bunch and seem to be distantly related to Indo-European and Uralic languages.

That recently well known autistic savant Daniel Tammet, author of the memoir Born on a Blue Day, Learned Icelandic in a month and proved it by speaking good Icelandic on a TV news show in Iceland.

I saw that! Amazing fellow who provides a rich illustration of our wonderful variability.
