What finally turned you off, Min? Was it the change from Latin to English? Humanae Vitae? The "folk masses" in the 70's?

Don't get your hopes up, fuckface.  He's just a little smarter than you...which is admittedly a low bar to get over.

Remember what the Ten Commandments state:  Exodus 34: 20 = Bring an offering every time you come to worship.

1. Are you privy to how much money "he" donates to charity each year? The watch may represent a mere fraction of his total net worth.

Privy? No, because it's irrelevant.  What he was wearing was completely superfluous, regardless of his net worth, which shouldn't be much for somebody in his position.  This caused him immediately to be a hypocrite.

Also irrelevant.  I refuse to get into a dick size contest with him or you on the subject.


A man bitching to me about my contribution to the poor, shouldn't have one of these on his wrist:
