Re: Triple/quadruple/pentuple better than dual?

LOL.

you probably have the warrior gene, as do I.

you and I, when pressured, would probably fight anybody--even if we
had to come back 'later', if you know what i mean.....or hire it out.

it is a shame...........with my age, i would only get like this if
somebody hurt my family nowadays...............thank goodness.

i have dedicated my life toward helping ppl--many of which are
literally on their death beds..............

but mess with my family............and i become quite reptilian
indeed........stupid ass amygdala shit sucks.


anyway, google the warrior gene--i am not kidding about it.
