How can you be so obtuse? You can't not be doing this on purpose. If you are, I pity you. But since you're bent on thinking I'm in the wrong, fuck you and your stupid bullshit. I'm done with this. If you don't understand me correctly the first time, so be it.

I'll always have a soft spot for Mafia players I've played with. No vitriol for you, sir.

It may just be a coincidence that none of the smart ones make their way to AF.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.

That's a straw-man.

Not if "reason" means building straw men.
