Really? You are the one whining about all the negs! Lol!

quit with the Gaurdian links and I will stop negging you.

23 negs huh! Cool! I am a newbie so I can post  only 15 “reactions” a day.

you must have more than one person here who dislikes your trash!

by the way I reported you for your inability to control your emotions!

yes I have a few guns. So what? No, no knife. Me and sharp edges do not get along!

i openly invite every one who does read the trash you post to give you a neg!

as a guess, you see yourself as a SJW. When you are just a open font of poisonous ideas.

in the meantime I love when you whine about the negs!

you can post your trash but I am not allowed my opinion of them?

my screen name says it all!

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

toodaloo loser!

 

You don't like my posts....Fine and absolutely legitimate....You have the  fantastic option of  putting  me on your ignore list...It's that easy...

 

 

And I repeat....That particular nutso compulsive negger ( yesterday 23 negs and today 25 negs...how would you call that???) is a hateful coward  (that's plain to see....) bastard
