      Hint : Replying exactly 2 minutes after you posted the parent comment is too easy to spot. If you want to karma-grab more easily, wait about 15 mins, then say mod parent up.

    There is no need. You are just sprouting another reason why so many beleive Hitler won WWII.

    You are one of the ones that need to be marginalize and removed from any type of power.

    They always get first post with some ridiculously huge message. Even if there were 50 of them sitting around doing nothing all day long but refreshing their browser, they still couldn't *always* get first post. I think this is CowboyNeal's work.
