| it is certainly possible to produce 'evidence' for anyone being the antichr*st... Especially when, if the evidence is not produced, you can claim it exists "symbolically". :roll: . it is of course not as fun as claiming that it is not symbolical - i mean who's scared of something that is nothing mo... |

| If you can't beat them, then join them. Since the U.S. has voted for socialism (Communism), I guess we have no choice but to accept it. That means we all should go on the dole and get government checks. We will end up being stuck with the debt, so why not enjoy some of it while we can? I'm going to... |
