And you think that your _charity_ makes you something special, don’t you? Arrogant bastard.

Giving them money and canned goods just encourages them to rebuild in a hurricane-prone area, and we’ll be going through the same thing 20 years down the road, only it’ll cost us all a lot more.

My cat got into my bed last night and curled up against me and purred.

Yeah, and the check is in the mail, right? God, way to use the oldest excuse in the books. Look, if you don’t want to give money to people whose whole lives are gone, at least have the balls to say so, you selfish pr\*ck.

SEX!!

Nasty smelly cats. Can’t believe you like those things…you probably let it wander all over the neighborhood, too, killing small animals and birds! :mad:

I hope you didn’t have the cat _declawed_—you might as well rip its ears off slowly with pliers, you unfeeling, selfish oaf.

This is a family site, so tales of your bestial experiences are _not_ amusing.

Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up in her own thread again. You’re the one who started this sh\*t-storm, and I was starting to wonder if you’d ever show your face here again. Oh, I see you’ve already posted 5 times. Well, in that case, I think you’ve made your case and now it’s just a matter of a dead horse. So stop pounding it.

My poor little dog has fleas.

I have to say that this is the funniest thread I’ve read in a while.

Yeah, you’d expect comments like that, wouldn’t you, Eve? I bet you just sit at home and think of ways for the SD community to build a new shrine to you…whatever. Then you bring up rediculous things like flowers, puppies, and earrings. Don’t you know that we’re all going to DIE. That’s right…why bother with this meaningless tripe when death could come knocking at any moment. There he is, Death, lurking around all our corners, and you have the audacity to try and push your ego-boosting self promotion on us, and try and use FLOWERS and PUPPIES to do it too…the lowest of the low.

I was wondering when the perverts were going to show up.

I’m going to say this calmly, if I can. There may be children reading this thread. Please keep all remarks referring to the sordid entwining of private parts in their proper places. Not here.

Goddamn! What a prude! Look, it’s not my problem if parents can’t handle their kdis…I’ll talk about sex if and when I want!

There’s enough sex in society already! Sex this and sex that! I bet if you talk about it you must also _dress_ the part, eh? With your little glittery tube top and hot pants? Don’t deny it, I know your kind, sleazebot.

I found a four-leaf clover!
