I don't know if this is supposed to be sarcasm. Health and safety. Besides, I reject the premise that not being able to own a gun is a punishment.

That's why the suggestion is to ban people from possessing guns. :brow:

Are you saying that you need to be American to be awesome or to not be American to be awesome? If the latter then there's no disrespect.

You look good in a bikini.

Yes?

Seriously?

How old do you think I am?

No, but your partner's age must be a healthy BMI. Which is 18-25.

I appreciate mine. Does narcissism make me gay?
