131. Oh, don't worry about that sweetie, I hate all assholes that cause death destruction and poverty.

I do not love some of them but hate others based on how they register, to me it is what they bring to fruition or want to that I concern myself with.

As another DUer likes to say, you will know them by their works.

Lots of posters here should try consistency some time, it is much easier to remember what you are for or against when such does not depend on the random flip flops of politicians but is based instead on what you actually believe and hold as your principles.

It must be hard for people to remember what they are for when they have to change what they are for on a nearly daily basis.
Don't you agree?

Oh and I really think you are sweet, worrying about me and what I need to hate so much, for a while there I thought you didn't care seeing as you tried and nearly succeeded in having me kicked out of here. I am glad you are over that little bit of vindictiveness, we are all human and I forgive you.
