Loc, he made a personal decision and even though you may not agree with it, you have to respect it. It is a better decision for his family, what else can you say? What does my being from columbia or irmo make a difference really? I'm guessing that's just your stereotype you have of people in irmo, which honestly isn't far off with most people. But just know that it is a stereotype. I just get sick of people who honestly have NO idea about what went or is going on.
