I hate Peter Jackson's "King Kong".
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Religion is the opposite of freedom.

I really think people who can't act right should be ousted from society.

Sucking people off for pocket change isn' t "acting right".
I meant like, people causing trouble/problems unnecessarily.

Adam Sandler? His ‘acting’ is just…wrong.

Some days...I just don't know.
Got an email late today from a coworker telling me about an issue that needs to be corrected on the bookkeeping side because it was entered incorrectly on the customer service side...then Mr. Condescending added the steps on how to do it. Swell, that's just dandy info that I already had. Who TF is the customer? I assume I am to guess.
