Since horses were brought to North America by the white man in the 1500s? audacity temp mail origin Or is my logic hampering my ability to see things from the viewpoint of the perpetually offended?

So, that actually confuses me a bit. Would that increase the likelihood that this happened or decrease, in your opinion? Honest question. My take, and I have no idea how unions work in full, that if this actually happened, the dude would get fired. Without question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
