44. Don't waste your time

Fri Apr 19, 2013, 09:04 AM

Apr 2013

I've got a phone book full of topics dating back to 2006 (Lieberman's primary) through today (Trayvon Martin/other high-profile SYG cases and Israel's policies towards certain ethnic minorities)...

To this day I have gotten ZERO apologies/retractions/whatever, and there are no fucks given by anyone involved...My advice to you is to *NOT* rub people's faces in shit because you were right -- It'll be self-defeating and only burn you up inside...
