Stupid People & General Update

Yeah, stupid people annoy the hell out of me. So do racists, sexist pigs, bigots, and homophobes. Actually, I don't like anyone who thinks it's okay to be horrible to someone else because of their race, gender, faith, sexual preference, etc. Which is exactly what is going on at t…
