Not only because of random trolls doing their troll thing (trolls gonna troll) on random pages, but because it took seeing/reading them on FB to make me realize how many people in my life I thought were genuinely cool turned out to be disappointing nutbags. Bad enough when they rant on their own page, but then they want to come onto mine and spew garbage. Very disheartening to have to tell someone you'd thought you knew for years to please kindly go and fuck themselves.<br /><br />Cheers, thanks a lot,<br /><br />StormStormnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-80663562411154896272013-08-08T00:52:12.909-07:002013-08-08T00:52:12.909-07:00Ask what you can do for your country.
