Good..Bye…Now lets get rid of some more mainahs, and get people “FROM AWAY” here…who have common sense and intelligence..You red headed step child
It is time to severely punish drug dealers and rid the country of them! I would impose a mandatory death sentence for anyone dealing in drugs! Anyone using drugs would be forced to get straight then be sentenced to five years of working for the municipality for free part time!
All things considered then it’s good you aren’t king.
You want the majority of Americans in jail or prison? You sound like one of those types who would love the Gulag system….
Got a feeling there’s more than one group you think should be ‘severely punished,’ old dude. Regular legend in your own mind, you are. Hey, there are already a couple or three countries with the death penalty for drug trafficking — feel free to head over and join the firing squad. No, huh? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Btw, it’s pretty hard to take seriously anybody who uses ‘poops’ as part of a user name. Just saying…
Ah, geeze, the gal is from Augusta and the guy is from Brooklyn. Hello, BDN, hello?
Yeah either the man’s name is “erica” or the BDN didn’t proofread this story.
What country are you from?That sounds like someone from Iran
“… I don’t work, I’m a princess…”
lol…. Guess she might have to update the ‘ol Facebook status.
Someone mentioned the death penalty for dealers. I won’t go that far, but mandatory 10 years prison time with hard labor sounds reasonable.
