The millenials click on the 'accept' button instantly and they won't really understand the depth of the problem until the smart advertising signs on the sidewalk beside them start following them around with ads for adult diapers. |

Terrorizing Progressive Liberal Leftist Moonbat Commiecrat Freaks is important work. It's funny how people of that persuasion would do physical harm to those they disagree with so it's best they don't know exactly where I am. I had one of them try to harass me in real life and cause harm but it was thwarted. Just because I think someone is a Leftist idiot and I don't agree with their view of the world doesn't mean I will ever try to harm them in real life. Everyone should use a proxy to hide their real location. ^_^ [8~{} Uncle Hidden Monster |
