STD...that's a very sensitive subject. My opinion on this is to treat it as a "Yield" traffic sign. You acknowledge its existence, proceed with caution and prepare to stop. You simply...

Blind Lust,

San Jose may not be in the same league of Rio or Buenos Aires, but it is also not as bad as described by CR Plum. IMHO, he was too drunk to experience anything objectively. If NF is a...
