  • Parkinson's Comedy

    I have never been the kind of person to complain when I'm in pain - usually I just find something funny about the situation then I forget about the pain or ignore it.

Violence, hate and conflict breed more violence, hate and conflict. STOP right now and think about your actions. ...
