will end up loathing this person. So have fun, but no long-term relationship involving fiduciary intermingling is advised. I have lifetime best friend that I have always tolerated because I grew up with these people and they almost to a 'man' have mental problems and deprived backgrounds, so I always felt sorry for them and overlooked their idiotic comments until they took over the world, and their little pinheaded ministers give them talking points like: "If all the aborted fetuses were alive and working, think how much tax revenue we would have to support social projects." As if an aborted (unwanted) life would turn out well. If you don't want to have a baby, I do not want you to bring a life into this world. It is a tragedy all around.
