   Yes it can. St. Derek disputed it rationally and took you out.

   Stop killing humans with your tailpipe hypocrite. They have a right not to be   
   killed by you. Start   
   believing in your own bullshit first and maybe others might take you seriously.   
      
   Note to St. Derek.   
      
   1. How the fuck can you respect this guy?   
   2. *WHAT* the fuck can I learn from him?   
   3. Decent? What the fuck?   
   4. Honest? What the fuck?   
   5. Intelligent? Fuck no.   
      
   Yep, Rupert is very smart and inquisitive and you regret a lot of stuff you've   
   said to him because   
   he's a decent but no way is Ball smarter than him!!! How the fuck can I stick   
   with Ball and learn   
   stuff I never thought existed? He's a cunt end of.
