wow, someone is getting a little too emotional. As I am sure its been mentioned above, its the internet.. not utopia. The moment your on it, you assume risks and drawbacks.

I got Sour and started my own up in March , At Current Growth We stand to destined to be a permeate stable of the online Diesel World
And i can garentee you We will do it On Good Values and Morals .
As Ive seen the other Side form all aspects , You Haven't
