@PsychFreedom Because it entertains me to banter with you and the fact that you take it so seriously tells me more than I wanted to know about you. But hey, it's alright if you're challenged in some way. It's not like I hate you or anything.

@MurderDeathKill01

Mmm no I don't have any "retarded" people close to me. Nice try though kid. I just happen to be able to function in society without worrying that mentally handicapped people are going to take my job. Like everyone else I know. If everything I say is not an argument then why did you say this argument is over? Apparently no argument occurred in the first place.

[MurderDeathKill01]

@PsychFreedom Pshaw, at least I dont have to downtalk you in order to make an argument. That is to say, everything you said is not an argument, and you're just mad that YOU are, or YOUR CHILD is retarded. Which is totally cool, I mean it's not your fault (unless you like, married your sister/brother) but it just happens man, can't blame yourself for evolution saying "Fuck you" and doing a retrograde burn through it's asshole all over your child/you.

@Bbfishman I would never try to make you look stupid. Only one person can do that and you do it great!

@MurderDeathKill01

Yeah okay kid. I live in Canada too. "regular man cannot compete" You are so full of shit.

[Bbfishman]

@qixxxz you dont even know me so for you to pick who should be supported really doesnt offend me at all. That whole thing you had going where you tried to outsmart me or make me look stupid didnt work....
