@Coffee Steve, translation,
“This is something rotten to say! You have been better.”
d.d. Is a classy and knowledgable lady in my opinion, and don’t mind her tapping me on the shoulder and saying “knock it off” when I sling a lil mud at the other ppl in the sandbox or go below the belt with my posts. The fact that she takes the time to post that to me and ignore the other @#+^%’s in here for their similar remarks, I take to heart…..as should they.
When you see other amazing places and meet new interesting people it makes all of the silly fighting in here not worth my time or energy. My opinions of “them” are clear. I prefer to try to stick to the issues and let them trip over themselves.
Yes, my comment on the “magic underwear” was crude.
In a desperate “get out the vote” effort, President Obama will deliver a major speech to the dead on November 2nd. (j/k)
I’m sorry but Mormonism is a cult.
Mark2_____I’ts to bad for you, you can’t fix stupid.
@Mark2
In defense of Mormonism, I think you can find weird things(ie stories, rituals, etc) in all religions and stuff that makes them seem like a cult. I think it’s rather to unfair to label some of their beliefs strange, without looking at your own weird beliefs.
Hillary takes blame for Stevens death in Lybia.
Ninja it’s too, not to ya moron. The Catholic Church by definition call them a cult so get an education.
@ Mark
You should try and avoid talking to yourself. (Mark2)
