We calm them elitist snobs

I'm not out to attack 80 year old men. This thread is geared toward people who are on the other side of 40 who may not know how to spell or use grammar properly, yet feel the need to post things. I don't go to people and speak jibberish and expect any response, so I don't type jibberish on here unless it's funny to do so.

I R not serious business anywhere on the internet. But I do like to ensure I get my points across.
