You Can Disagree With an Opinion and Be Wrong

I’ve spent the entirety of my life on this planet educating myself, and being educated by my peers and family, about every single subject that crossed our paths.

If you are a fan of The Terminator franchise, you are already familiar with the predestination paradox Kyle Reese cemented when he became John Connor’s father.
