          Btw, i don’t like to lean on these things, but for some time i have been the target of clear xenofobia on this site, a couple of idiots that either don’t have arguments and think they run the site telling who should or should not be allowed here, or just babes who can’t handle reading something they don’t agree with. You, and especially that Oaken and Andrew guys can insult me all they want, i will continue to post comments whenever i want to. You all should get a life, this is sad, all these obssession does no good for you people, get off of your moma’s basement and go get a girlfriend boys.
