alvey shitcast aka Viper,
You are just like the rest of your Caucasian trannies Mike Watson, Roger
Federer, Brett Favre with the SOFTEST COCKS in the world.
The born conservative pussies Bill O Reilly and Sean Hannity crying that you
western men became feminine proves "Western Man" is an oxymoron.
I offered you to fight me with exactly the same weapon but you are THE
TYPICAL WESTERN PUSSY that RUNS like a CUNT when challenged to fight with
equal weapons.
You can FOOL 6.6 billion human beings into thinking you are BRAVE, but you
can NEVER FOOL ME.
YOU AMUSE ME alvey.
