Shouldn't you be in school? You have the mentality of a *****y teenage girl.
Leave him alone, and learn some tolerance.

Your view is not worthy of consideration.

Move along.

Methinks *you* are not qualified to judge, Moose!

[Bullwinkle.]

How many 'bad guys" have you exposed and caused to be prosecuted
and jailed?

Zero!

Methinks you are a loser and all mouth and a complete ignorant ***** man.

Ever since you failed out of flying you have never succeeded in anything
except telling lies and running off at the mouth.

You'd lose the bet, BB! :-)

I flew a Chipmunk, a Jet Provost Mk3 and Mk4, a twin-seat Hawker Hunter T8,
a single-seat Hawker Hunter GA11 and a Buccaneer S2

You washed out of flying...admit it, you loser.

You were forced to be a ground pounder.

Tell the Mrs I said Hay!

She will know.
