does there have to be a certain group of people who get jealous and whiny=20

He has no obligation to provide anything to anyone except himself...just=20

I have fun with my few hundred dollar station, and I doubt it would be a=20

someone with a bigger dick out there and that doesn't bother me.
When you start spouting about what other people have and what you don't=20
have, you quickly become marked as the fool you are by doing so...
