of Christopher Hitchens vs. all different people. I’m currently watching the one versus Frank Turek….some annoying theist who clearly is too idiotic to understand Hitchen’s arguments.

LOL @ all of these people reblogging my “Poverty - Lack of work ethic” post that some delusional idiot wrote an essay response to.
He’s wrong. Also, if all of you agree with him, you’re also wrong. And a bunch of idiots.

TMI conversations with friends:
I’m just sitting, minding my own business reading. Enter RM-
RM: You know how you were telling me to smell the bread to tell if it was done fermenting? Well, what does it mean if my pee smells like that?
