A Merger

Couldn't we at least vote on this?
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"
Clearly not. Did someone give you the impression that this is a democracy?

I vote what Boru said.
And yeah, we don't need a slew of threads about the Melon Husk. I wish we didn't have one; but he is in the news and blah, blah, blah. ![[Image: MmQV79M.png]](https://i.imgur.com/MmQV79M.png)  (October 8, 2024 at 3:04 pm)BrianSoddingBoru4 Wrote: Clearly not.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

One company I worked for, fellow workers put out a flyer where the company had a program called "Special High Intensity Training", AKA "SHIT". One was allowed, nay encouraged, to take as much SHIT as they could handle. I went to a lunchtime presentation about workplace violence. When the presenter asked if anyone had been subjected to workplace violence, many hands went up. Later in the presentation, that presenter joked about how "violence against fellow employees was a way to get promoted, followed by a disclaimer. But looking around the auditorium, many heads were nodding. It was an underground understanding that abusing fellow employees was a way to promotion. Another was breaking expensive hardware. So, the violent, incompetent people got promoted into positions in the functional management part of the company. That went on for decades. Finally, after enough megabuck lawsuits, we all got to sit through a 90 minute lecture from a corporate attorney explaining shit that one usually learns in the sandbox when they are 3 to 4 years old. What's interesting is that the abusers don't think it applies to them, and the non-abusers think the same thing. #irony
