ReplyDeleteGood luck with that pal, think I'll put my money on the side that reveres life and gave this world the Karma Sutra...
ReplyDeleteThe alternative is supporting a death cult that abets terrorists, worshipping a moon god, and a prophet that was a kiddy fiddler...
Gotta go, my popcorn is ready!
Unknown l think you just described Pakistan.
ReplyDeleteHey has b poster been abducted by aliens?
ReplyDeleteIf they did, he probably bored them to death. It will be from trying to communicate by writing a thesis, when a simple hello would suffice!! TL;DR
DeleteThey returned him to Moscow despite his insistance that he lives in manhatten
DeleteI've been quite busy. As I explain elsewhere I'm a Certified Public Accountant and am hard at work right now. In addition to this, I have a relative who has been very ill. As duch, I haven't had time to comment and I wish to limit such activities only to times when there is sufficient time to thoughtfully discuss the subject at hand.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I agree with Fazman's assertion that unknown provided a perfect description of Pakistan. Actually I'm neither from Manhattan or Moscow. I think you know this as I've provided numerous information here on my identity and how to find me. I'm assuming this was an attempt at humor.
You've been gone so long l needed to baut you out. Welcome back :)
DeleteFor what it’s worth, I find B.Poster’s comments very interesting. Would hate to lose his imput on this blog :)
ReplyDeleteThat's why l baited him, miss the guy
DeleteAgreed. Always good to see what Russians think.
