NotBornHere 10/31/2008 at 8:38 AM Multiple issues ... Two problems here. First of all, 15 males should not have cigarettes. Secondly, why is it that some people only feel brave when they are running in a pack? Yes, "two or more" is a pack, especially when they are attacking a single person. What's the matter guys, not man enough to go one-on-one? Reply to This Comment
