From what i've read most drivers in third world countries are just
unbelievably reckless. As crazy as americans drive it's much worse in
south america or africa or most of asia.

You seem to have a very bizarre fixation on Larry Craig and
toe-tapping. Of course, you also seem to have a very bizarre
fascination with homosexual pornography magazines and who's started in
what issue.

Oh yeah, that's right, you're the faggot that brags about his bath
house exploits.

Thanks for setting the record straight, retard. I realize I shouldn't
have used the term "straight" with you as a part of the context, but I
couldn't help myself.

Which makes me glad my parents had the common sense to tell me to be
cautious in certain circumstances, and I'm even happier that I have
the common sense to follow their advice.

Too bad 110 people demonstrate that neither they or their parents had
that same common sense.

LMAO; that's rich.

If anyone would know that prostitute's name, it would be Aunt Judy.

You dont see many bodies laying around - I wonder where they go? To America to
be sold for fertilizer Iwould think. How does your garden grow?

If they were made by AJ, then I'd be on the lookout for GHB in those
toys....

Must be parted out for kidneys and such.

All seriousness aside, I've spent time in China, and I never
once saw a pedestrian run over by a car. In fact I never
witnessed a single auto-pedestrian altercation.
