Poll: I just came from facing two thiefs.

[Cody211282]

When I read "I went to the movies at midnight" I all of a sudden though you went to see Eclipse...you saw Eclipse didn't you?

But yeah, that sounds like total bullshit to me. I agree with Hubilub.

Toy story 3.

Yes, I will totally believe a guy on the internet saying he kicked the ass of a guy much bigger than him through the use of karate and Jeet Kune Do.

Karate he had only studied for 2-3 years when he was a kid and Jeet Kune Do he only had a mild interest in.

That makes him Chuck Norris!

Who wouldn't believe a story so amazing and believable like this one?

Might want to tell the police about this, at least give them an idea about the incident.


If you could identify the thevies, you could help them get put in jail, or at least give the police a heads up incase the thevies ever try to come back for revenge.

Still, no offence, but I sorta have a hard time buying this, mainly for the reasone's mentiond by Hulibub.

Maybe i have to explain a little of background. I´m from argentina, where thieves are bums and cops are like chief gorgory. They didn´t really have a gun, they just say that so kids get scared. And i have asperger, maybe that explain why i barely feel any pain. That and yoga and meditation.

Of course! Because Asperger syndrome has nothing to do with hindered social interaction, it just makes you an immortal badass!

And everyone knows that if you study yoga and meditation, you will never feel any pain whatsoever, even when doing things like fighting while angry, which has nothing to do with either things!

Actually, one of the sympthoms could be bigger pain tolerance.

You don't say?

Let's ask my father, Jakob, educated Psychotherapist.

Jakob, does asperger syndrome give you a higher pain treshold?

"No, it does not"

Thank you.

"Aspies are very good at ignoring pain, particularly if they're engaged in their special interest. The sorts of pain most commonly "ignored" by aspies are things such as muscular/nervous pain, rather than wounds." quoted right from here http://life-with-aspergers.blogspot.com/2007/12/aspies-and-pain-tolerance.html

So unless your special interest is getting robed and beat you need a new excuse.

I love fighting. ¿And why is everybody telling that i got robed and/or beat? I walked away because my friend asked it, and didn´t give them a penny. And they were two, ¿remember? and just one of them punch me once and did some pointless kicking. If you call that a beat i hope nobody ever try to break your nose or something, that´s got to put you, at least, in a coma.

Ok fine in the act of being robbed(he was performing a robbery by trying to take your money) you found out you not only have a pin tolerance, but nerves that don't work. As I said before you have to many nerves in your testicles to not fall over after being kicked there, as for knowing what I'm talking about I go to the gym and box, that's hard to do with gloves and other protective equipment on, your talking about a kick to the nuts, repeated strikes to the leg, and a jab to the face(that i should remind you will make you dizzy and disoriented not because of pain but because your brain just snapped to the back of your head and hit itself on the tiny spikes in your skull). Your ether plain out lying, your your the god damn batman.

Wh on earth would your skull have tiny spikes on the inside?
It seems to defeat the purpose.

Indeed, my understanding of having spikes in your skull goes like this;
A. There aren't.
B: Your brain does not float freely in an environment of fluid in your head. There are layers and layers and layers of flesh wrapped around it to stop exactly that kind of thing happening.

Ok spikes might not be the right way to describe them, nubs would be better, and yes you have them, as I stated above and also said why they are there.

So you are talking out of your ass.

That's weird, because after about five seconds of searching I've found quite a bit of information on people with Asperger's syndrome having weird reactions to pain (such as a large wound going barely noticed, while a small one makes him/her break into tears).

So either your father misunderstood the question, or you're talking out of your ass aswell - or, in a perfect world of irony; your father's uneducated in the subject and you just give him too much credit. I know the OP's story is over-the-top and you feel like trolling him for it, but please at least try to do it without busting your own balls with bullshit on the way.

The OP -is- bragging on like a typical attentionseeker, and sure - "unequal reaction to pain" does not mean asperger's folks are The Hulk. But still, your post was just too delicious to pass up. Always nice when someone claims someone's talking out of their arse, while doing the very same thing.

Look, this has already been dealt with on this thread by Cody. If you want to argue that the word of a trained psychotherapist is less worthy than someone searching "asperger syndrome" on google, be my guest. At least look up the counter arguments for what you just said instead of starting the process over again.

So, you know, look up those counter-arguments while I leave this thread.

Oh no, I wasn't looking to keep the argument going. I just found the irony of your post delicious. Considering I know a couple of fellas with Asperger's that have had strange reactions to pain in the past (obviously not on the OP's level, but we've pretty much covered that it's a bragging/attentionseeker-thread,, I saw your post for the ironic gold it was the moment I read it and couldn't resist posting. Sorry ^^.

What I will say, however, is that I very much believe that first-hand experience from people who actually -have- Asperger's is probably worth more than someone that's merely studied it from a book and gotten a piece of paper that says "u know everything about everything now lolz". I'm sure your trained psychotherapist father knows a great deal of things and my intention was not to belittle his education or line of work, but being a "trained somethingsomething" doesn't automatically make you right.

[T-Bone24]

So, wait, is Asperger's now some kind of superpower? Tell me, were you ever exposed to radiation that could have made it somehow awesome?

 

[Code Monkey]

You have Asberger's? Are you sure you're not simply the last son of Krypton?

 

[Cherry Cola]

What I will say, however, is that I very much believe that first-hand experience from people who actually -have- Asperger's is probably worth more than someone that's merely studied it from a book and gotten a piece of paper that says "u know everything about everything now lolz".

Which is why people who study psychology get to take care of patients with different mental disorders.

You don't just read books about psychology in the university, you go out and practice.

So my father definitely has first-hand experience from people with asperger. He's most likely met more people with it than you have.

So I fail to see the irony. You have met people with asperger and googled it on the internet, my father has studied it in the university and he's had sessions with people that have asperger. I'm not saying that either of us is wrong, but what I am saying is that my father is probably a more reliable source when it comes to this.

But I feel like this is going nowhere, so how about we just end this? You believe one thing, I believe the other. Let's leave it at that.

well, i can only agree with you.

 

[UberNoodle]

Why couldn't it be real? It's not hard to get into a fight, and somebody always has to come out on top. Why couldn't be him? A lot of thugs are posers that get by on barking loudly. From my experience with such people, they tend to freak out when somebody actually takes them up on it. I studied Goju Ryu for 10 years and I didn't even need that when I was threatened with knife. I just didn't show fear, though I was very worried, and guy lost interest and 'spared' me. He of course told me how he's 'get me next time'. I never saw him again. I have been attacked before and it took one hit from me and the guy backed off. Bullies don't expect it half the time. Real killers don't pose and intimidate. They just DO.

10 years of studying Goju Ryu is not the same as 2/3 years of children's Karate.

Not to mentioned that he was both punched in the face and kicked in the balls. Regardless of how strong his opponent was. Even one of these things is guaranteed to stop your ability to fight for more than a moment.

Yes, I have been kicked in the nads pretty hard a few times and it does more than 'piss off' a person. However, the damage done by a jab to the face depends entirely on how effectively it was performed. Believe it or not, many people are scared of punching and they pull punches instinctively. Also, if the thugs had a gun, or claimed they did, they may have stood far enough away that the jab was over extended, thus reducing the power. The OP could have pulled back and reduced the power of the jab as well. If it was a straight punch, the force can be reduced in this way. If it was a hook and it only glanced, it would also be less effective. It it struck the OP in the temple, he'd be pretty rattled but I have met people who somehow 'roll' just such strikes and get through them pretty well.

Now, I am not saying that his story is true. I have no idea, but he's bragging, regardless, and embellishment is part and parcel with that. But let's say he came across typical 'bark is worse than their bite' opportunist thugs, they messed up both their attacks, through lack of experience or plain bad luck, and he scared them off; it's possible. Could they be out looking for him now and try to maim him when they find him? That's also possible.

 

[fletch_talon]

I know a true story too.
There was a troll who worked on a bridge as border security. There were goats on one side and a beautiful valley on the other.
One day an illegal immigoat tried to cross, the troll wouldn't let it. The goat offered a bribe, fresh warm goat milk. The troll thought it was kinda gross, but he was really thirsty so he closed his eyes and partook of the delicious caprine mammary juice.
The next day, another goat tried to cross, the same thing happened, but this goat warned of another immigoat that wouldn't be as willing to offer bribes.
Sure enough another goat came the next day. When caught, the goat turned to walk away. The troll called it back however, saying that he could be persuaded to let it cross. Catching on, the goat made the offer and was allowed across.

And that's the story of The 2 Nanny goats and 1 Billy Goat Gruff.

In regards to stories on the internet, I suggest everyone do like Naruto and BELIEVE IT! Its just more fun that way.

 

[NLS]

Almost a year ago, I was down in Bolivia (which is not so far from Argentina). One of the recent cases in the news was of a guy that had been robbed for his cell phone, and while refusing to cooperate, he was shot in the head by the robber.

It it struck the OP in the temple, he'd be pretty rattled but I have met people who somehow 'roll' just such strikes and get through them pretty well.

Now, I am not saying that his story is true. I have no idea, but he's bragging, regardless, and embellishment is part and parcel with that. But let's say he came across typical 'bark is worse than their bite' opportunist thugs, they messed up both their attacks, through lack of experience or plain bad luck, and he scared them off; it's possible. Could they be out looking for him now and try to maim him when they find him? That's also possible.

Regardless of how much the Punch hurt, the simply action of being punched in the face would have at least startled him, meaning that he should either fallen down or even just stumbled a bit. In that case the attacker wouldn't have stopped long enough to recoil and also get into a fighting stance. Especially since they already have the money and cellphones.

What I will say, however, is that I very much believe that first-hand experience from people who actually -have- Asperger's is probably worth more than someone that's merely studied it from a book and gotten a piece of paper that says "u know everything about everything now lolz".

Which is why people who study psychology get to take care of patients with different mental disorders.

You don't just read books about psychology in the university, you go out and practice.

So my father definitely has first-hand experience from people with asperger. He's most likely met more people with it than you have.

So I fail to see the irony. You have met people with asperger and googled it on the internet, my father has studied it in the university and he's had sessions with people that have asperger. I'm not saying that either of us is wrong, but what I am saying is that my father is probably a more reliable source when it comes to this.

But I feel like this is going nowhere, so how about we just end this? You believe one thing, I believe the other. Let's leave it at that.

Perhaps you asked your father the wrong question. From reading some articles online, Aspergers reportedly can affect sufferers REACTIONS to pain to either extreme. That is much different to affecting pain THRESHOLD. From reading these articles (and it would be stubborn to discredit them just because they are on the Net and not your father, no offense) one can not predict whether sufferers will have innapropriate reactions to pain, more or less, or at all.

As Parents, Teachers and Professionals of children with
Asperger's Syndrome we are all familiar with the enigma of their
unequal reaction to pain and injury. A stubbed toe or paper cut
may set off a pain response (crying, screaming, and sobbing)
such as is equalled by the loss of a limb; yet a burst ear drum
or broken limb may go seemingly unnoticed. As carers of children
with Asperger's Syndrome we are often bewildered by this
'unequal' response to pain stimuli. Anecdotal evidence from
clients worldwide is full of reports on this topic. So, what's
the answer to this confusing puzzle? The questions surrounding
Asperger's children's unequal response to pain can be explained
scientifically.

Show it to your dad. He may have misunderstood the question or ... made a mistake!

And again, I am not saying that this OP's story is true or even credible.

When I read "I went to the movies at midnight" I all of a sudden though you went to see Eclipse...you saw Eclipse didn't you?

But yeah, that sounds like total bullshit to me. I agree with Hubilub.

Toy story 3.

Yes, I will totally believe a guy on the internet saying he kicked the ass of a guy much bigger than him through the use of karate and Jeet Kune Do.

Karate he had only studied for 2-3 years when he was a kid and Jeet Kune Do he only had a mild interest in.

That makes him Chuck Norris!

Who wouldn't believe a story so amazing and believable like this one?

Might want to tell the police about this, at least give them an idea about the incident.


If you could identify the thevies, you could help them get put in jail, or at least give the police a heads up incase the thevies ever try to come back for revenge.

Still, no offence, but I sorta have a hard time buying this, mainly for the reasone's mentiond by Hulibub.

Maybe i have to explain a little of background. I´m from argentina, where thieves are bums and cops are like chief gorgory. They didn´t really have a gun, they just say that so kids get scared. And i have asperger, maybe that explain why i barely feel any pain. That and yoga and meditation.

Of course! Because Asperger syndrome has nothing to do with hindered social interaction, it just makes you an immortal badass!

And everyone knows that if you study yoga and meditation, you will never feel any pain whatsoever, even when doing things like fighting while angry, which has nothing to do with either things!

Actually, one of the sympthoms could be bigger pain tolerance.

You don't say?

Let's ask my father, Jakob, educated Psychotherapist.

Jakob, does asperger syndrome give you a higher pain treshold?

"No, it does not"

Thank you.

So you are talking out of your ass.

First: let´s keep it civilizated.
Second: http://life-with-aspergers.blogspot.com/2007/12/aspies-and-pain-tolerance.html
Third: http://autism.lovetoknow.com/Gym_Class_and_Asperger
Four: ¿Should i keep going? Google it yourself. Your father could be the best psychotherapist on the world, but if he didn´t especializes on asperger he probably won´t know a thing or two.

"Aspies are very good at ignoring pain, particularly if they're engaged in their special interest. The sorts of pain most commonly "ignored" by aspies are things such as muscular/nervous pain, rather than wounds." quoted right from here http://life-with-aspergers.blogspot.com/2007/12/aspies-and-pain-tolerance.html

So unless your special interest is getting robed and beat you need a new excuse.

I love fighting. ¿And why is everybody telling that i got robed and/or beat? I walked away because my friend asked it, and didn´t give them a penny. And they were two, ¿remember? and just one of them punch me once and did some pointless kicking. If you call that a beat i hope nobody ever try to break your nose or something, that´s got to put you, at least, in a coma.

Ok fine in the act of being robbed(he was performing a robbery by trying to take your money) you found out you not only have a pin tolerance, but nerves that don't work. As I said before you have to many nerves in your testicles to not fall over after being kicked there, as for knowing what I'm talking about I go to the gym and box, that's hard to do with gloves and other protective equipment on, your talking about a kick to the nuts, repeated strikes to the leg, and a jab to the face(that i should remind you will make you dizzy and disoriented not because of pain but because your brain just snapped to the back of your head and hit itself on the tiny spikes in your skull). Your ether plain out lying, your your the god damn batman.

Wh on earth would your skull have tiny spikes on the inside?
It seems to defeat the purpose.

Indeed, my understanding of having spikes in your skull goes like this;
A. There aren't.
B: Your brain does not float freely in an environment of fluid in your head. There are layers and layers and layers of flesh wrapped around it to stop exactly that kind of thing happening.

Ok spikes might not be the right way to describe them, nubs would be better, and yes you have them, as I stated above and also said why they are there.

Source? I'm willing to believe this, as dizziness after cranial trauma seems like a pretty viable pain deterrent.

Ok ok I'll dig out my EMT textbooks again just one moment.
