The money should be going to my kids

Hey, fuck your kids. The money shouldn't be going to them because I don't want my life to be waste by retarded ingrates. And no AI either.
Hym "Stole."

A fucking retard "The money SHOULD be going to my kids."

Hym "Your kids didn't do anything that result in the generation of the money and/or property. They just sat there like lumps of meat... Fuckable meat. If I steal your gun... And use it on your kids... Did YOU shoot them or did I shoot them? Now... Who's gun was it? You stole my gun. And you shot your own kids with it... And their corpses explode into a cloud of money... And then you looked down at the gun and realized... 'Oh wait that's MY gun...' And then you cried and you kissed and you moaned and your screamed and now you are stealing my wallet and enslaving and torturing me. I didn't even steal it from you! You had it pointed at my head for YEARS and then your dropped it... I picked it up and waved it around. You grabbed it back and tried to shoot me with it and I told you that thing was dangerous. And now you're taking my wallet (totally unrelated to the gun thing) and now you're back to pointing the gun at my head."
