For all those who think he cries too much - you have no idea how it feels not to be able to tell your own mother why you are so depressed all the time, how it feels to lie awake all night facing the terrifying emptiness, a bottomless pit of despair, second after second, minute after minute, day after day trough interminable time.

@thebray3 Against the law? since when was being gay against the law? You really should do some research because that's totally not right. And if you enjoy people who say disgusting things about people be my guest and be friends with them, because in the end things are going to change and veiws like yours are going to change. He's sick and disgusting for putting crass comments up and for solicitating marriage to me a minor, i have the upper hand here

@RamenXBaka Homosexuality used to be against the law. How do you think he feels expressing his desires and yet its ok for you to call him sick and disgusting but if someone calls homosexuality sick and disgusting all of the sudden that is wrong?

@CaptianNutSac Hello UAint you never fail to hide who you really are a weak cowardly person who can only call names, and its okay becuase no one gives a shit about you either.

@RamenXBaka Why are you calling Expendable2011 sick and disgusting? He can't help it he was born that way maybe he is attracted to younger women what's wrong with that . Please read your previous post and think about what you just said maybe some of the same words you addressed to Uaintseennothingyet1 would apply to you.

@Expendable2011 That's like saying you know baseball because you watched the world series once.
