I deleted one flame, made in disgusting language, but also a half dozen posts that unnecessarily quoted it. When you see someone obviously stepping over the line, quoting their post just dooms yours to the trash bin and wastes everyone's (especially your own) time.

The world has to in order for you to have this freedom of speach.

But if the muslim exstreemist were in control ,

Okay, it seems like you are a very honest, detailed and/or factually accurate person (compliment) as it sounds like you weren't married to your son's mother (no judgement, in the same boat).
