The warning did not arrive until after one of the veterans taking the drug had suffered a psychotic episode that ended in a near lethal confrontation with police.

perhaps he decided he wanted to become an optometrist.

Come on Dexter...pretend that you have at least the slightest care for your fellow human beings.

I read these stories and think maybe it isnt so crazy that blacks think the Govt started AIDS....now personally I dont think that...but with stories like this it isnt such a crazy thought.

Dexter...good attempt at pretending to understand humor...the problem is the comment isn't funny.

Can someone explain why Vince is calling Gravis "Dexter" in his last few posts?

I don't get it.

Also, that "vets" joke was the source of a very amusing interview on Da Ali G Show a few years back. The veterinarian was totally confused and flabbergasted at having to explain why there weren't alot of sick animals during the Vietnam War. Bizarre & hilarious.

Because in my opinion he shows a certain lack of empathy/feelings which then reminds me of a certain TV character with the name of Dexter.
