I guess the following was meant for you. Either stop posting your mindless links or start paying for them! And unless you've got something political to say, get out of this goddamn forum!

NEWSWEEK gave 1,000 Americans the U.S. Citizenship Test--38 percent failed. The country's future is imperiled by our ignorance.

Only the truly narrow minded would make your kind of mindless comments. And no I won't get out of here.

It's not an order, it's just a suggestion, dope! Come back when you're not wet behind the ears.

Bigger typed letters, phrased as a command. Yeah I would say it's a fascist order. How would you feel if I told you to stay off of my threads?

I don't know what that "ignore" function is, and I wouldn't use it if I did. That's for people who don't have the balls they were born with!

Jesus Christ, I want to stay away from you like the fucking plague. And stop signing every post with your stupid fucking name since it's obvious who wrote it. And get the fuck out of the "Political Philosophy" section, you dweeb!

I don't take orders from a fascist, you idiot. Stop polluting my threads that you said you would stay away from.

And what are you? Since you like to pollute my threads, I'll repay you in kind knucklehead (oh btw, I printed out your Ouzo Prophecy and lined the litterbox with it).
