    Saturn, you're a racist idiot and all your posts are nothing more than garbage. Is there honestly nothing more exciting to do in the trailer park than get on slashdot and make a fool of yourself? Shouldn't you be at the kkk homepage, trying to win over an attractive cousin, or anything else but coming here and removing all doubt that you are a complete and utter waste of oxygen and space?
