#13 Coincidentally, the Washington Redskins name has never offended any Native Americans anywhere - in fact, they loved the name. Yet, the White Liberal elite took it upon themselves to change it for selfish virtue signaling. Native Americans are presently trying to petition them to change it back, but they're refusing. Democrats...has been, and always will be, the true party of racism. Of course this comment will be removed by the stazi. If this were an insult to Republicans, it would remain.

#4 I though all octopi do this, but not nessisarily for that long. Females always die with their ne and only clutch and males can breed 2-3 times before dying, so they only live around 5 years max

#10 Aww. I'm allergic to Frankencense (causes severe itching and inflammation if touched and smoke destroys my lungs, couldn't be in grandfather's catholic funeral)
