NO more maps for me after that.  |
That guy was f**king stupid. He should have said that you demonstrated the capacity for greatly contributing to the people and revolution, thereby recruiting your mind rather than alienating you. Any adult worth a ***** encourages a youngster with promise. Discouragement of a child's creativity is a perfect indication of weakness and insecurity.
