All I'm doing is telling you the TRUTH. You're just mad that I don't fit into your silly little categories like "douche", "forum user", and "human on planet earth".

He uploaded pics of his meds that had his name on them somewhere. I hope he uses his 6 month ban to better himself [not that he was a bad dude to begin with].

All of the alleged "anti-Semite conspiracy theorists" that you see online are just interns for the ADL. Quit hiding from the truth and start sucking on my saviour dick in gratitude.

A while a back I met a whole family of three (with a kid) of Dutch people in a state park who were cycling through the southeastern US in the winter. I figured they’d be super liberal but the father at least was super right wing.
