then i can't help it. if you want to believe that all ubf 2nd gens are "not to believe" just because you met SOME of that sort, then that's your problem. to me it just shows how stubborn you are, sorry. and don't come with "i know what i'm talking about, i was in the same situation" blah blah blah. you just see things the way you want to see them, no matter whether they're true or not. but if that's who you are, be lucky with it.
i wish we could discuss it a better way, but for you i'm not believable, so...
