Like this one wich keeps saying it with one r and I did not correct?

 

Why the hell are you harassing me over a spelling mistake I cut and pasted off of Yahoo Answers? Does it make you feel oh so superior to put me down? Get a damn life, jerk.

PS. It's which, not wich, asshole. If you are going to rip into someone for a spelling error, you should at least have the brain power to spell common place words correctly in your own post!

Objection! - Phoenix Wright

[Jadefire 2,796]

"It's only natural for living creatures to fight to protect their own lives. But what makes us human is that we fight for others. But who do you fight for? How hard must you fight...? That's the true measure of what human life is worth. We defense attorneys are warriors who are constantly challenged by that question. Even when the battle is over, and the bonds that connect us are severed... We always return... Time and time again."

-Phoenix Wright on philosophy

 

Maya: Look, a ladder!

Phoenix: R-right... sorry.

"Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
