My verbal spanking should be replaced with physically horsewhipping
every lame-ass prick who thinks the world owes them.  And also all you
extreme liberal "politically correct" defenders of the humanly
chalanged.  Go fuck yourself.

As for cruising the web looking to vent....  I go into a few select NGs
and read messages, and when some lame-ass or his whipping boycomes
outwith the kind of shit like both of you did, there is no
"internet-lurking, moral defenders of
justice"  only the mild rantings of someone who doesn't give a shit if
you crawled under a rock and died.  Get the hint?

Fallacious?  (I'll bet you either looked that one up to look
intellegent, or are a lawyer, in which case you looked that one up to
look intellegent!)  Further more , the *very* few who do that are also
made up of the *very* few street punks.  Ooops, thats not a "very" few
now is it?  And yes IT DOES affect us.  You dolt, look at prices today!


Their attitude says a lot.  It is obviuos your brain is so cluttered
with touchy-feely, feel sorry for everyone with a hard luck story that
you could care less if prices soared because of them or not.

Finacially challenged?  Oh, yeah.  You mean lazy creeps who don't have
any more ambition than to 1) think stealling is ok, and 2) teach their
kids to do the same.

With that same thing in mind, why not help Charles Manson "free this
world of evil", after all, you would only be trying to help.

Help theives steal is NOT help.  As for "measly" scraps, if they shopped
around on their measly incomes, they would find that there are MANY fair
priced places out there.  They don't WANT to shop around.  Why, its
easier to steal.  Go fuck yourself.

Oh, and if you don't like my name calling and language, go to some other
NG!
