Ok Ray, you can shut up now. This has nothing to do with anything really
except the search for attention and obvious stupidity. You win at that
front and I may even go as far as nominating you for a Darwin award (with
ignorance such as yours, I'm more than sure something life threatening will
be brought upon itself with you - grabbing bare wires, bitching out an
armed assailant, stepping in front of a bus, etc. - ok, I can hope). And
since you've proven your complete worthlessness as a human being, I must
now a) put you on my filter of idiots to ignore and b) report you to the
Church of Scientology; I am pleased to tell you that you've made such an
ass out of yourself that you'd fit right in. Congratulations jerk.
Jay, you're right and I hope something can be done about this waste of
zygote. Glen: you're right again. I hope my comments made you feel a little
better about this post string.
