I see you stole another post from my blog! Did your mother teach you how to steal or did you just learn it along the way. You're pathetic, promoting motherly love. You're setting a fine example of what not to do, steal from other people's blogs. Anyone who would follow you is nuts. You should be sitting behind bars, you're a thief.

You have no concept of what it means to be an ethical blogger. I'm going to Twit about you, you common low life.
