Is this such a big deal?

Your town appears to be populated exclusively by eugenicists. Leave, and take your girlfriend with you.
This is a sad thread. I wish people weren't like this.

Prats, yet i'm curious:
- How big is this town?
- How racially diverse is it?
- How many different families live there?
- What country is it in?
- And do they uphold strong social morals that might be related to a religious mindset of some sort?
I've been to several towns where the whole town was born to believe in something or another (Family, Faith, Friendship etc.) and everyone too far from that standard became an outcast.
I'm not trying to generalize the whole thing, yet my experiences do show a pattern of some sort. A pattern that shows that most humans are sheeps, blindly following the herder.
Regardless of the specific details of this situation, its still a d*ck-move of them to label someone an outcast so easily.
Aside from being an autist myself and having a nephew who had lyme's disease (which destroyed parts of his brain) i've met quite a few of the mentally abnormal who, despite their oddities, had their specialities like being able to tell you everything about World War II as if they where there or how many stamps where made of the Mirrored face Coocoobird with golden lining in 1967 and the stereotypical forms like math-wonders.
Even tho it might not be easy to socially intertwine yourself in a conversation with an autist, making that effort will only show you a different, unique side of the world, that can not only inspire you but enlighten you aswell.

[sub]unlcean[/sub], unclean, UNCLEAN! What the hell is with your town? Is it time stuck a couple centuries back?
Whatever happened to common decency? It's a town full of prats, like everyone says. If I were you, I'd leave the town for greener pastures as soon as I got the money. But that's just me.
Soon you shall be able to move to the city, or should I say The City. I'm sure you have one of those nearish. In the zombie apocalypse they shall be the first to fall.
Unless the gossip circle gets them all inside before hand. Then grandma will be shooting her shotgun from behind her frilly curtains. These are the people that don't help the hero's because they're different.

I've known two kids with autism, and both times I thought they were just a little odd, like kids can sometimes be. I was good friends with one (the other was on a panel of dairy farmers... it's a long story), and when it was explained to me that he had autism I was shocked. That's autism? Huh. I've known kids (myself included) who've acted that way in the past. He was a cool guy. As a matter of fact, he's now a black belt.
I have seen all your posts in this thread and I say your town is stuck in the past. (Have you ever seen people be racist?) I suggest continue doing good things and when you have enough money suggest to your girlfriend to move. these people are stuck in their ways they properly still think that video games and D&D turns people into murders and Satanist. The fact that you are atheist properly doesn't help. these are people that want things to stay the same (from what you are saying these guys almost sound like the village from hot fuzz so watch out for evil cults trying to kill you) so they don't like things that they are not familiar with they properly are related or know someone with a mental disability but never have got them tested for any disability they properly still don't think that dyslexia (and the numerical equivalent) exist and that those people are stupid. if they do know that someone in there family has a mental disability keep it hidden so they aren't shunt by the village. I think these are people that deny that paedophile priest are being hidden by the church (if you don't want to be shunt more don't mention paedophile priest people will properly stop selling you stuff).InnerRebellion said:
