http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let's_trim_our_hair_in_accordance_with_the_socialist_lifestyle

I am the one responsible for introducing the two sections. I agree that the sections may be alterated to better fit in the article, and the section headings may be changed into something a little bit better. But to give proper balance to this article, and having read the Wikipedia Guide to NPOV article, since a total NPOV doesn't exist, you must include different point of view in your article. I added these sections to show that in western society, social pressure on how to look is very real. I don't disagree that in western society you are not 'forced' to dress in a certain way, but if you don't dress nice or cut your hair, you probably will lose your job and become a social outcast. Lastly I like to object the idea that the goverment of DPRK or Leader Kim Jong Il has dictated that people cut their hair in a certain way. There was a program highlighting hair styles, a program which I haven't seen, and I guess none of you have either. I would like to see that program, or to have credible first-hand witness report. Failing that, I add my own experience of the DPRK and state that if there was any indication that people 'should' or 'should not' cut their hair in a certain way, that is part of social training too, and the common factor being what is socially acceptible and what is not socially acceptible. Perhaps you would say that ideology and social etiquette is two different things, and yes, they are, but just because North Korea has a lot more ideology, doesn't mean they have much less social pressure than other nations. Indeed, there is a connection between how your apperance is, and what kind of ideology you have. Consider the US president with blue hair. Consider Janet Reno without hair. Consider Abraham Lincoln with a crewcut. Or Arnold Schwartznegger with long, blonde curles. My point is that yes, hair shows who you are and will tell how your ideology is. It defines you in a social grid. What is unusual is that just because the program was on DPR Korean television, suddenly the western journalist read all kinds of things in it. Unless proven otherwise, I think that's wrong. I've seen some of the hair examples on the internet, they are cut & paste examples that wasn't in the show (different color and resolution in each picture) so people try to invent the truth. The biggest problem we have today is to define truth. Failing that, feel free to revert my editing, but please include an important point about how a bad hairstyle will ruin your day in a capitalist environment too, and look really bad no matter which planet you're on. --Bjornar 21:26, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Please do not post bullshit.

Having Aspergers myself, I am reading this article, and the general article on Aspergers, and every single sentence made me go "Awwwww, yeeeeaah!" Everything in this article seemed like a biography of myself, until I saw a paragraph that said that, in the United States, ADA protections for Aspergers ends when you're 21. After opening up the "edit" page, I realized that citation had been requested for that paragraph in March 2008, which basically means that it had been there, without citation, for TWO WHOLE YEARS!

Please, make sure something is correct before you put it there. Not only is that bullcrap unsourced; it's not even true!Wikieditor1988 (talk) 19:15, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

actually looking back on it I'm not really sure who's spergin' harder

quote:

Someone mentioned that Wikipedia is not here to support one thing over another, and is only here to post information. Therefore, I have two separate issues with this entire entry.

One- The section formally called "Gender" is now referred to as "Biological sex," because the section's content is referring to biological sex, and NOT gender. It should be common sense by now that physical/biological sex is NOT the same as gender. It is insulting and demeaning to anyone who is NOT cisgender or anyone who's gender and sex do NOT match, and is clearly supporting the views that everything and everyone is either male or female and that male=man or boy and female=woman or girl- which is in actuality not true.

Two- In at least one section of this article, "Animals," where evolution is mentioned. This is something that is clearly being promoted by materialists, and is not more factual and proven than any other belief system- yes it IS a belief system. Sorry to say, but I did not evolve from a monkey, and I would appreciate not being told someone else thinks I did when I just want to read an article about autism. Either put every point of view about the origins of humanity and autism in this article, or take that section out. It is also completely unnecessary giving the context of the article and/or section.

Talk:Railfan

quote:

Autism spectrum again

I just rv'd my earlier rv. After reading through the citation early this morning, the only positive link to rail transport that I saw was in the questionnaire, so I reverted the original edit that added the citation. Later this morning after I noticed a 1500 character change in my watchlist, I reviewed the article history and restored EdJogg's edit because it more accurately presents the findings from the report without implying that all railfans would be diagnosed with asperger's or another autism spectrum disorder. Sure, there are some railfans who obsess, but the same can be said of some sports fans who memorize all of the statistics for certain teams and players, for example. Obsession is not unique to railfans and being a railfan does not make one a candidate for autism therapy. Slambo (Speak) 15:03, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
