69 year old woman's cross destroyed by gays!

Yestheypayme2dothis @Yestheypayme2dothis (7874) • United States 13 Nov 08

Yes, the gay men at this protest tore the cross from this 69 year old woman's hands and trampled it on the ground. Do REAL men do these things? But then they are not real men, are they? Would they have done that to a bouncer two...

runningpoet Well, I mean, yeah I guess they are real mean. In till they decided to take a cross from a lady and trample it. I mean that would make them not men in my opinion weather or not they were gay. Society is so messed up sometimes.

runningpoet yes, but it can take a long time. If the pounding from the running is an issue you can also try swimming to help break up doing the same thing everyday. Lifting weights will also help with losing weight. Watch what you eat and don't just limit yourself to...

runningpoet I love running out on the streets, trails, anywhere not inside. I can't handle running inside. Going for an hour and half run on a trendmill I think I would pull my hair out of my head. I love it most when the weather outside is cold, and snowing or raining...

Masmasika @Masmasika (1921) • Philippines 11 Nov 08

runningpoet I do have a TV in my room. Granted I live with two other people so I have no choice but to put it in my room! I do leave it on sometimes when I'm trying to get to sleep. It helps me for some reason, while it does hinder me if a good show comes on.
