@Blanton95 I sorry that I live in a country where I can say what the Fuck I want, when I want and where I want ....If you got a problem with that then get out of the free and open society. You want to control speech free speech well guess what go fuck yourself, your mother, your father, your god.

@chessunderground

This video wasn't a joke to anyone but you, that is until my response put you in a fictitious, non-injurious and perfectly hypothetical example of the horror suffered by Khalid El-Masri. I magically increased your understanding of the reading and the injustice it represents, and your response is truly amusing. I imagine you understand the difference between comedy and the fear of dying by the hand of abductors now and to that I say.... jk. Isn't this fun??

@Blanton95 get over yourself ....it was a fucking joke....but Blanton95 has to make a political statement on YOUTUBE.COM because thats the place you do such a thing. Instead of going after me why don't you write you elected officials, vote, speak truth to power.

I look forward to hearing how much you enjoyed your five months as a guest of nobody in a country called nowhere at a time called whenever.

It's hard to fathom, as an American citizen, all the rottten shit being perpetrated supposedly in my name. Thank God For Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the ACLU, and most importantly- WikiLeaks.
