How many American citizens have been killed by terrorist attacks in comparison to say obesity, smoking cigarettes, drinking excessively, cancer, car crashes or guns in the hands of stupid people?

Get your damn priorities right and quit wasting time and resources...

I'll take any coat, as i just really don't give a flying fark...

You'd have to be daft to leave your curtains wide open while you romp around naked with the mrs...

A nice goatse background and flying vagina mouse cursors for the desktop and use some stegno s/ware to hide the text string "I hope you've enjoyed wasting tax payers dollars!" in every single image. Set the background image to a closeup of goatse and the mouse cursors various flying penis.
