Comments
I don't know which is worse, Ajay's role-playing or some child cutting and pasting their school homework
As ever, I must wonder what school you went to where homework just involves putting together a bunch of quotes.
Wherever it was, that you believe having an interest in history makes one a child reflects far more poorly on you than anyone else.
The past is gone, the future hasn't happened, the only sensible thing is to live for now
Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it.
So that's why you're repeating your homework
Is that why you're repeating the same comment about homework, despite being neither funny nor correct the first time?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
