[kj] ot darren.. israelli neo nazis/ a qu... ;)

[melinda grant]

yeah darren,i kinda go along with much of your post,also i think refuring to 
someone as" sweet" is very patronising,and a
bit of an insult,which rolled of my back and left me thinking that the 
person who said it,is very simple
with a backward mind ;-D  ive never been called that b.4 it stinks 
lol.......

i mean,how many people in there right mind would refur to a middl-aged woman 
as "sweet?" especially when the person saying it was also 
middle--aged,personally i thought they were mad really


:D))))  i mean i wasnt even called "sweet"  when i was a kid,when saying 

that would be more relevant to that age group!!!!

melinda  ps i thought the person who said it a proper berk  and very 
creepy---dickhead ;-D)))))

thanx anyways ok.....
