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!

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).
