      He's just a man getting through life the best he can

      He's a not a scientist, he programs a computer

      vanfan if you could care less why are you still here? If you come into my house you can say whatever you want and then I can smack you for it. Well on here you're in someone elses house, you can say whatever you want and they can then smack you for it. You can say what you want, you can even cry like a &%*&^ when what you said is then locked or taken down; that's the extent of your "freedom". It doesn't mean the people who own this site don't have the freedom t...

  3. Yeah! I really like G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis.
