“Ako bojkotuješ referendum onda si isti kao onaj što ga ne podnosim...“ Je li to jedini argument da mi kažeš DA NE bojkotujem? E, onda ću da bojkotujem! Evo zašto... Sigurno nisam isti kao taj što ga ti ne podnosiš, ali se takođe mnogo razlikujem od tebe koji ljude deliš na one koje podnosiš i koje ne podnosiš.
