Hey zach, why don't you make her go away?

Hey now guys....I really think shes just misunderstood. Cant we give her another chance?? I mean sure..."beotch" is a bit harsh, but she coulda gone a step further and called you a "baculum!!" I sense the good in her, but her path down the dark side has been very influential. Perhaps we can help re-direct her path to a more righteous sense of being!

I did say no to abortion and I voted for Adolph Hitler. He definetly was a great speaker and wether or not I agreed with his beliefs or position in life, he new how to get a lot of followers. Hey I also give props to vegetarians. I am not a vegitarian, however I live on vegitables and chicken. I don't like red meat. In fact chicken is the only meat I like. I do not have anything against vegetarians or people that love meat I just can only eat white meat.

La you forgot pork is the other white meat lol not that I would complain about chicken. As for the hitler being a vegetarian, think there's a song about that. obviously titled Hitler was a Vegetarian too. not sure who did it, but heard the song a couple times. and I said no on the abortion bit. and if you really want something to think about. I saw stu use a star wars twist in his comment. now compair star wars, episodes 1 and 2, and most likely 3 whenever it comes out. then look in the history books to see how Hitler rose to power... how's that for something to think about?

Ever hear this? If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already (some versions say 5 kids, some say 14), three who were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, (some versions of this story say that one of the siblings was in a mental institution) and she had syphilis (some versions say tuberculosis and some also say that the father was sick with sniffles), would you recommend that she have an abortion? Answer: You've just killed Beethoven The Beethoven Truth This is to all the people, who are buying the "You have just killed Beethoven!" Crap. Prepare yourself for the truth. Though Ludwig Van Beethoven's parents did have 7 children. Beethoven was NOT the youngest. He was the 2nd born child to his parents on December 17th 1770. The first born was named Ludwig Maria. Though Ludwig Maria did die six days after his birth. There is no knowledge that he was born blind, deaf or mentally retarded. Though Beethoven's father was a known alcoholic, he was not known to abuse his children. As far as the sniffles argument, the sniffles are simply when you have a stuffy nose from allergies or a cold. It’s not a fatal disease. I don’t think most people base decisions on weather or not the father to be, happens to have a cold or allergies, and history tends not record every little sneeze a person has during their life. Even if that person is Beethoven’s father. His mother did not have syphilis. She did contract tuberculosis, but not until Beethoven was nearly 20 years old. Beethoven's parents had 5 children after him. Casper Anton Carl, Nikolaus Johann, Anna-Maria Franziska, Franz Georg, and Maria Margareth Josepha. Anna-Maria and Franz Georg both died only days after their birth. None of the children were known to be blind, deaf or mentally retarded. None were ever in a mental institution. There are many versions to this lie. Some claim that Beethoven was deaf at birth and became a great composer despite this disability. This is also false information. Beethoven suffered hearing loss which was caused by scarlet fever not genetics. He was already an accomplished composer by the time he started to lose his hearing. Beethoven’s loss of hearing caused him to withdraw into a deep depression. He withdrew himself from the public and his friends. Other versions of this abortion argument state that Ludwig Van Beethoven was blind. This was never true at all.
