I stutter, I don't consider myself disabled but it is certainly detrimental, and if I could get money from it I would do so shamelessly. Having people do that is a nice gesture in theory, I'd apprec...

I defer to professionals (as is evident from what I've been saying, if you had paid attention, but that doesn't seem to be something you desire). It's the only sane route when it comes to knowledge. ...

You're being completely unreasonable, but I can see that it's entertaining to you, especially the namecalling. You should act more mature if you want to claim to be mature. Nevertheless, for the sake ...
