Open question

A question that anyone can feel free to answer. Not directed at anyone.
Hym "And still the open question remains unanswered... I genuinely don't understand what you hope to achieve by doing this... Is there a point you're trying to make? If so, it is going straight over my head. It's like I'm waiting for a punchline and you just keep droning on and on... Oh, and the solution to that problem you're talking about would be: date a cuck and then schedule yourself and extracurricular shift at the old developmentally disabled group home and fuck a big dick retard in secret. Not that any of them were particularly competent but I think it still applies."
