why dont you research the verse FMF, it may just save you from fabricating untrue
stories yourself.

It condemns violence and those who love violence. It is up to the individual, according

Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell, you say that, and yet I think you will agree that you are personally responsible for what you post.
