Water created life in order to have itself carried uphill.
Name: Dr. Dave
Age: 36
I hold a PhD in geology (2008). My thesis examined how the Irish landscape changed during the Neogene, I discovered that Neogene tectonism created topography, due to the fluctuating intraplate compression of North Atlantic Ridge push forces and the Alpine Orogeny. I also, studied Epithermal mineralisation in the area, and I discovered a ~12 million year old fault line using radiometric dating. The bottom line - Ireland has very young mountains made of old rock.

Hi Dr.Dave^^ nice to meet you, my name is Jonathan, i have been diagnosed by asperger syndrome when i was 12 years old. back then before i was diagnosed, i always interested joining in the milltary but, my mom was afraid because i have a mental disablity which is asperger syndrome, so my mom doesnt want me in the milltary because of that, i was wondering you can help me or do you know any asperger support group around locally in my area that can help?

Hi Dr. Dave I just thought that I would pop by to thank you for all the interesting refs. you have provided :-)
Please understand it is not my desire to argue (in the modern english sense) about the subject I am really asking questions to aid with my personnal understanding on the top, I do take note of the works of others but tend to leave most subject inconclued and base my opion on the understand gain and the reflection given.

Hey, I have Asperger's too. You seem like an awesome person. I agree with what everyone else seems to be saying -- you seem like a very intelligent person. Thanks for taking the time to answer a couple of my questions.
