Well, I like stuff: motorbikes, beer, hospitals...

Me too.

Me too...but enjoying them in that order is something I try to avoid.

Well, I had a friend who worked in the emergency ward of the hospital in a nearby major city.

He said that department they refer to road bikes as "donor-cycles."

How's that for grim humour?

Well, yeah...but between the drunks with cars, the debris on the road, and the people who text while driving, any biker's got to keep his head on a swivel...or lose it.

Those who can do a Linda Blair get to keep on keepin' on...the rest: dirt naps and transplants.

Clearly "parasite" is usually used to describe another species, but other than that the term fits.

Rubbish. What codswallop.

When you have no argument; resort to insults.

So women need their daddy to give an identity?
Tell that to women who have been raped and the children they have had to bear!

You have proclaimed that this parasitic foetus lacks value so the desire to murder is justified. Seems clear enough. The only question is whose lives have value.

You cannot murder a piece of meat with no identity

An 'identity' you say is bestowed and that I say is intrinsic.

Old news.

I'm sure you keep all your wank rags too. I was told you named them alphabetically.

As you well know, your ma sez a lot stupid shit when she's gettin' ass-banged.

Did I insult you? No. Did I not offer the proof you were wrong? Yes.

But I can see you didn't bother to check the website, or you'd know that it showed your definition of childbirth as parasitism was totally inept and scientifically wrong. Your choice of language was, of course, intended to provoke a response, not to reflect calm analysis, and you got a most appropriate response.

So you should be happy. Goal achieved.

My ma is dead. but if you like butt f*cking the dead, then that is your bag, not mine.

My ma is dead.

Never stopped you before.
