I made up the following myself a while back,

Chad.
It is a photo of the world's record size King salmon at 97.25 pounds, caught by Les Anderson of Soldotna, AK.

The biggest King I have personally caught was only 44 pounds, but I do not like the "combat" fishing on the Kenai River, so I choose smaller rivers with smaller Kings. I prefer to eat Reds, but catching Kings are a lot of fun.

Thank you,

We know Chad, we know you were wrong, that's why we pointed it out to you a few times.

I'm glad you pointed that out actually. That makes your opinion 100% irrelevant. Now I have a reason to completely disregard you while you make a complete fool out of yourself.

Well, knock yourself out disregarding me! No skin off my nose. I'll still post my opinions, whether you approve of them or not.

And they shouldn't bother checking shoes today. The x-ray machines cannot detect bombs in shoes, well they can if they are metal. Removing shoes is purely for show, the rest of the world realises this and allows passengers to keep footwear on their feet, where they belong.

And the creation of roads allowed Clyde Barrow to get away so many times.

We are discussing whether or not spying on American citizens has done more harm than good. So far we have no proof that it's done any good.

I DO wish Bible Spice would throw her hat in the ring for 2016. What a wealth of comedic fodder! I miss that.

And yes, When someone pointed it out (I) brushed it off as some sort of dishonesty on the part of the Heritage Foundation which couldn't be less true.

The above was not done on purpose, It was an accident and I stand corrected.

Chad.
Now you must prove as to why the government must trample on our rights and spy on every single citizen to accomplish this. And then you must argue if you can come up with a reason, whether or not it's worth it.
