Baden

If you'll put your pricks away first. :eyes:

Your work is much appreciated. By some of us at least.

Oh, we shouldn't do that. :grimace:

The new conspiracy will be that Agustino and Baden are the same person :rofl:

It's one of those sentences where if you really want to be confused about it, you can find a way.

Something about macabre pussyfooting swastikas. Sounds fine to me.

Someone else took care of his ass for me. :point: :fire:

Your closet socialism is safe with us. ;)

We've been accused of driving members away for being overly tolerant as well as being overly intolerant. It's impossible for us to satisfy everyone, b...

I can't find any mention of him claiming civilians had access to machine guns either. He mentioned automatic weaponry, which with a bump stock is effe...

No. You're obviously misrespresenting him. (Unless he's completely insane, which I doubt). The only mention of bazookas is here: If you can't distingu...

Agreed.

:fire: Tories :fire:

Cheers. Best strawman ever.

Think you replied to the wrong person there.

If only they could be a little more subtle about it. But maybe they don't have to be any more. :death:

How boring of you. Besides, the only way to stop a violent, punishing bad guy is with a violent, punishing good guy. Whatever. Just so long as they bo...

No, we will call you sexist and ban you. :hearts:

Who is clever in his line then?

And on that note...

Shh. Someone might suffer a truthiness overload. :fire:

I wouldn't even call myself a liberal not to mention the liberal. But, yes, I don't apologize for things I habitually and voluntarily do.
