Comment by mr1stroke on March 28, 2014 at 2:10pm: @mr fix i have one policy in any argument or discussion i do not bring family members or spouses in the conversation, nor do i ever play the mama joke, some people think its funny or cute but any real man know what this is so when things like that take place we know we are dealing with a coward or a punk, i would only feel sorry for him if he died otherwise he will live by learning the lesson of life, he can sue at the end of the day what does money will do with a brain damage

Comment by evolution on March 28, 2014 at 2:05pm: It is not nice to speak ill of another man's woman and wife makes it worst.

Comment by mr fix on March 27, 2014 at 8:53pm: @mr1stroke men who never get punch in the face always running their mouth till you let them swallow some of their teeth

Comment by GospelPan on March 27, 2014 at 12:46pm: The guy set the bait and Short fell for it...once you have money you have to control your anger because folks want all that money that you busted your chops to get....most folks wouldn't mind getting knocked out to get a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank.
