That's really awesome those kids did that. It takes a lot of guts to do something as groundbreaking as they did and challenge the accepted practices of society.

I understand all the words you are using, but they way you are using them makes no sense...

Oh thank God for the Open Thread!

I just watched Star Trek and I'm officially a Cumberbitch now. Please, I know I'm not the only one. Give me sexxxy pictures! I needz them! My hormones are at warp speed!

If she's reading fairy tales to a bunch of sheep, she wants more than this provincial life and NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU.
