Republicans think for themselves. Liberal Democrats let the government tell them what and how to think. (No sarc.)

That lawyer really went too far to make his point! Most of them just shoot off their mouths too much!

Was the second “Believe it or not!” intended sarcastically?
I’ve read that sarcasm runs the risk of backfiring for the speaker. The idea is that whatever you say, no matter how patently untrue, you come to believe a little more each time you say it.

whats the point of 6,060 years. If they did something that bad to put them in jail for 60 in a half centuries, then put down a death sentence. If they wernt supposed to attack then they SHOULD, just for killing innocent people. If you commited mass murders, then you should have a death penalty. But of COURSE you cant do that. Some people dont think its right to kill people but if you killed someone then you should get what you did to them. Let the innocent people go to heaven and the killer to hell. And thats the way it should be. Ugh great i got into a big fuss on the internet. Sorry for that. I just had to spit it out. I am the class clown but i am serious. :3 (Just in case u didnt know, that was the troll face)
