   I'm going to use strong words because all the fools are coming out now.   
      
   And worse, none of these fools ever has an answer to a simple question.   
   What other free vpn service do you propose that you feel is much safer?   
      
   This happens every time the fools feel the need to say something, even   
   though none of these fools ever says anything that isn't already known.   
      
   I'm well acquainted with the observation that every fool has an objection   
   that everyone already knows so the fool is just proving to be a fool.   
      
   Every time vpn is mentioned, particularly a free vpn, every fool begins   
   warning everyone of what that fool believes everyone doesn't already know.   
      
   My point of view is clear that only a fool warns you of what everyone   
   knows, and then, the fool proves to be a fool by not providing a solution.   
      
   For the next set of fools who want to warn everyone what they already know   
   What other free vpn service do you propose that you feel is much safer?
