@mstrultan I definitely can see that comparison

[isbourne]

@letsfIogthezog If you approve HIS message, I would say you are a) a troll looking for attention or b) a racist who should stop using caps. If you are simply approving a quote you've made ... that's rather uninteresting. Roy Zimmermann is a wordsmith. Aim higher. And caps are still annoying.

[TheWezid]

[isbourne]

@TheWezid Maybe you wanted to say "quiet"? And "you're" might help ... if you want to make sense. Just saying.

[rlrsk8r1]

You know, I probably would have taken my video camera and my guitar across the nation to find all of the people you mention in this song and have them sing they're part, but where the hell am I going to find a jewish unitarian born-again bhuddist wiccan agnostic named Jerome?

[LorieLynn]

forget finding one named Jerome, just think how hard it would be to find a jewish Unitarian born-again Buddhist Wiccan Agnostic in the first place. Even more then that, how many conspiracy theorists do you know that just happen to know five other conspiracy theorists?

[rlrsk8r1]

It's easy to "make" a conspiracy theorist that knows five others. Just find six conspiracy theorists and introduce them.
