      Well seeing as how your post is modded as 0, I would say your system isn't working to well.

      Seeing as he has not been moderated yet, I'd say his system has not been put to the test.

      I'd also say that he did not test his system right there.

      You are wrong in all cases.

    I don't know but I'm waiting for the ANGRY SUN: FIRES OF HELL movie .. should be out any day now.

    It's about a young christian boy who has sex before he's married, with a wicked temptress with pierced nipples and purple hair.

    then next day, by a strange and terrible coincidence, the sun explodes, and as it flickers out and guarantees that all life on earth will end. the young boy believes that it's all his fault and goes on a killing rampage. only nobody cares because they are all raping and looting and whatever else you'd do if you knew the world waa ending.

    sounds like a hit don't it?

    Excellent, I'm having a bonfire out in the field tonight, and the weather has cleared up, so conditions look to be good. It will be a fun night... esp since the people showing up are a bunch of pyros and it's so wet here that you could drop in some napalm and not start much of a blaze...

    I really, really hate the jewish mentallity. If the muslims killed others because they considered themselves the "chosen" ones, they would be labeled terrorists -

    Get the fuck over yourselves and live in peace with rest of the world. You are NOT the chosen ones. Noone is for that matter - could you jews and the rest of you religous fanatics get on with your armageddon and get the fuck out of the way of progress? Please?
