It's been 13 months since my last visit

Stuff was pretty crazy back then. I had that showdown with my girlfriend on here. We broke up eventually and now I remember this place. It seems like that was a long long time ago and not just over a year. I see it's all the same people here doing pretty much the same thing. I cracked up reading thr...

Free-Will Foundational to Criminal Law
