I'm sorry, did you have an actual opinion on the subject of the OP?

Yes, you are sorry. That I cannot deny. I've had you on ignore for inanity for quite some time. I truly feel for the management, who have to vet your drivel. They're the ones who have to pick the turds out of the punchbowl. I'd've bounced your ass a long time ago. You add nothing but inanity. Don't expect further responses from me. I was responding because of the title, and won't be replying any more.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I carry and spend more money at garage sales than the pocket change you make choking loads....

Why?

Because I know how to spend money - on good deals.

I find spending money painful.  I like getting stuff, and that has some pleasure.

At least this way I won't be poor.

Maybe guys so badly don't want to have sex with you that they pay you not to have sex with them.
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"
