REPORT ABUSE

I can't believe how many idiots live in this country and take for granted the opportunities that exist around them. Addicted, lazy, useless, overpopulating, system-draining idiots. Seriously, there are too many people like this in our country. I vote in order to remain a citizen you must work as hard as you can to reach your full potential and be a useful member of society. I'm sick of all the whiney-*** people who feel they are victims and entitled to something they don't deserve! GET LOST!

WHATNEXT?!
