Because genocide just means "killing a lot of people" now I guess.That is literally what it means: The deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation. And the definition of large: Of considerable or relatively great size, extent, or capacity. --- |

| Topic | If a Church is an Essential Business, should they be taxed? |
| IdiotMachine 04/04/20 7:48:15 PM #2 | Churches should be taxed if most of their tithes are not used for the immediate community, but rather for their own system (like Catholicism where a portion of the tithes go to Vatican) or for their own "profits". Otherwise, no tax. --- |

Funny how this works, the created this virus, and now in the end will profit most from it.You act like the virus was created intentionally. They fucked up at the beginning by trying to hide it, and then went ham on quarantining. South Korea immediately responded with quarantining. Both countries are now recovering. Meanwhile, Japan and USA are still rejecting quarantining for some stupid reason. --- |

I don't think they are that different as far as under the engine so I'd go with the f-150 since it's cheaperThey both cost similar, at around $42k MSRP. I wish Ridgeline just looked better and more like an actual truck. Then it would be a no brainer decision for me. --- |

| IdiotMachine 04/01/20 1:05:00 PM #1 | Bought Galaxy S10 factory unlocked for $600 off of Amazon (ships from and sold by): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07N4M412B/ When the package came, the phone box was sealed, and it looked brand new. Upon opening it, I noticed these scuff marks: https://i.imgur.com/a11CiHr.jpg I contacted Amazon, and they offered a 25% partial refund. I pushed more, and they said 50% partial refund is the most they can do, otherwise they'll just replace it with another new phone. I told them I'll think on it, and get back with them. So... should I keep this for $300? Or just try for a new phone? I also don't like the fact that Amazon might be selling non-new items as new... seriously wtf? --- |
