" oh SWEETCHEEKS get over it already...it's called freedom of speech. Don't go getting all postal on us. Comments are comments...not a big deal. Just let it roll off your back, it'll be ok I promise....even though I think it's perfectly clear that PROUD CONSERVATIVE was absolutely correct. Everything is policitical in life and if you can't handle that then I'm sorry there is no help for you. =) Have a wonderful day! "

" Clearly the answer is more box cutter control. Background checks, limits on assault box cutters (those that carry more than one blade), and a 7-day waiting period - because box cutters are the problem...not the people who use them for committing crimes.

Maybe when "The Messiah" becomes president, he'll outlaw box cutters, like his crooked buddies in Chicago, because that's worked so well up there. You've never heard of a box cutter murder in Chicago, have you? "
