Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 L.E: What a bunch of phoney crap! Is this a performance for an audience you fake! What awesome stupidity. Do you assume there is someone who cares about your performance and is watching this conversation? What amazing arrogance. In my ordinary life, I have feelings and concerns, in my inner life, I am existence itself. Do you even come close to understanding this? Pig-brain stupid!!
