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"

I died laughing when I saw that all the TP has been sold out from stores. And I saw this article where it says "People who buy toilet paper are most likely to die from the Coronavirus". HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

My boss tapped on my office door this morning and said he had something for me. I figured it was another year-end project for the CPA. He walked in with his arm outstretched holding a roll of toilet paper.
What a goof.

SO fucking true.
An aside, Dallas Mavericks owner and "Shark Tank" icon Mark Cuban went on news recently saying he doesn't care about the sports shutdown, saying he had an 82 year old family member himself.
My problem with this, isn't claiming he does not care about his loved ones. I am sure he does. My problem is with the top 1% for 40 years bitching about taxes, exploding the pay gap, and forcing more in the middle and low pay class to work sick. This "don't tax me" bullshit coming from the top has now come to bite the top in the ass. If Mark is truly concerned about his own family, then he should understand that the middle class and hourly class have family they love too.

Pretty sure your comprehension on that is wrong.

Mark Cuban Plans To Pay Hourly Employees Through The End Of March
Yeah, I read that as well. How do you (Brian) bag on a guy who’s going to pay his employees for NOT working? You’re always bitching about heartless billionaires - well, here’s one with a heart. Jeezus.

Wait for it...Bri is gonna bitch 'cause Cuban said through the end of March. Let's not take into consideration he can extend that if it's necessary.

And I’m sure that Brian will miss the point that Cuban didn’t have to do anything at all for the hourly employees. He could have simply said, ‘Sucks to be you, now go home.’
