Entertainment? Howsabout both **Icealkie** and **World Eater** in a cage match? Nahh, not exciting. Just sad. Hell, throw in a couple hungry wolverines. ---

I believe it is in some Finnish or Swedish dialect that they use the same word for teenager and for idiot. I read it in “Believe it or Not”… or maybe it was a fortune cookie… I’m bored… I wanna start a war… or maybe I’ll just play with my pizzle a while… ---

Hell, throw in a couple hungry wolverines. \*\* Put me and anyone as ignorant as Icealkie in a cage and I guaran-fucking-tee entertainment as I rip them to pieces and rabidly gnaw on their twitching limbs. P.S. I work 4 blocks from WTC and spent that morning watching people jump to their deaths. I get very cranky when people like icealkie make light of the situation. I don’t mean to be combative, and apologize in advance if I get out of line. ---

I could give one flying walenda if your from europe or the fucking moon, thats the stupidest thing I’ve read in quite some time. Friggin Subtroll! \*\* Hmmm, seems like it’s getting hot in here… I wasn’t sure where to quote you my dear, such a big heart and bigger words still, I can actually understand your anxiety over what you have witnessed, but your words are not very well thought over, there are widows in more countries than yours \. I can even understand some parts of the incoherent want to upset you because no one listens to me at home unpunctuated a bit troll-like text of Mr. Icealike, it is true that the attention span of the average person is sadly short and etc. But to rip someone’s throat out is not a very mature thing to do or threaten, and frankly does not become one that claims to have seen the horrors you claim to know, I had the experience of being in Bosnia ´94 and I for one am rather slow to big words on physical violence, so are most that I know which have gone through similar experience. Respectfully The Unbeliever Ps. Jarbabyj, your figure just does not do that skirt justice, but those boots are SEXY…. ---

I am truly sorry that you had to experiance those terrible moments. But does that in earnest give you the right to chasterdize anyone which does not meet your thinking criteria. I don’t belive wars solve issues, be it in Irak, Somalia, Nigera or anywhere else. As to your poetical description of your valiant battle, Godspeed! ---

Damn you **WorldEater** , you let this idiot off that easily? After promising to “rabidly gnaw on their twitching limbs”?(i like that phrase though). Look here, **Icealkie** , I have no problem “chasterdizing” your “thinking criteria.” In your O.P., you accuse the U.S. of going to war because we are fat and bored. To that, I give a rousing FUCK YOU! SIDEWAYS! WITH A CHAINSAW! We are at war because a group of extremeists killed over 4,000 innocent people, not so we can have something to pass the time. We are trying to destroy a terrorist network, not increase Nielsen ratings. If that was not what you meant in your O.P: FUCK YOU AGAIN! I don’t really give a shit if you meant “well, wars never solved anything” bullshit that you are trying now to say you did. So, I guess it’s your choice. Are you a fucking idiot who can’t express themselves in the O.P., in which case, fuck off till you can. Or are you a person who actually believes what your O.P says, in which case, fuck you, you’re wrong. Either way. Fuck You! ---

I saw no need to send across a white hot blistering stream of good ol fashion death vitriol the likes that god himself would kneel before me. Also, in advising to use sensitivity, I figure I should observe some myself. I will save myself for when a real argument exists. You, however are free to carry the torch. 😉 ---

A skirtless jarbabyj is tons more interesting than some pud who thinks that the death of 4,000+ innocents is somehow a media event rather than a heinous act of cowardice.
