FFL is nothing if not instructive. For example, it's always interesting to learn how the "enlightened" think, based upon those on this forum who have claimed to be in that state. Would that be the same "DNA" that makes it more likely that you will contract AIDS, due to your brother who (supposedly) died from it? If so, that would explain the many homophobic comments and insults you make here on FFL; you're afraid your "bad genes" will catch up to you. :-) > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, doctordumbass@ <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > > > Interesting thread from the past, Richard: So, Barry > > > punched his brother very hard in the stomach, to stop > > > him from beating up a neighbor, after the brother beat > > > up his Dad.
