Oh, and a trillion's more than a billion, numbnuts.

'Sokay, but you gotta ease your way in. Take care not to go too many levels up into the meta in your posts because the rest of us may not be able to follow your trail so far past the treeline. You don't want to leave everyone thinking "What. Was. That???" This is especially true if you are new here and nobody has a good sense yet of where you are coming from. So keep things a little bit plain and conventional at first while you give the rest of us an opportunity to get to know you.

"Most of Nasheed’s critics have called her a hypocrite, because only a maniac could support regulations on owning or operating guns while still owning a gun."

Like the NRA used to. Before the paranoid rightwing fucknuts took it over.
