I prefer the North Korean accountability [youtube.com]. Just shoot the bastard.

That video does indeed show one interesting way to handle the situation. Still, I am not 100% certain the North Korean technique is the best way to go about it.

You're absolutely [filtered], I couldn't [filtered] more with your statement. It reminds me of the other day when I [redacted, don't want nobody to know this], which goes to prove [filtered] and [filtered] about my boss and the company for which I work. He may be a [filtered] but he always [filtered] and [filtered] and even [filtered] when [filtered] enters the room and says [filtered].
