    “There is a very interesting debate raging at the moment about the nature of sin, for example,” said Oats.

    “And what do they think? Against it, are they?” said Granny Weatherwax.

    “It’s not as simple as that. It’s not a black and white issue. There are so many shades of gray.”

    “Nope.”

    “Pardon?”

    “There’s no grays, only white that’s got grubby. I’m surprised you don’t know that. And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.”

    “It’s a lot more complicated than that . . .”

    “No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.”

    “Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes . . .”

    “But they starts with thinking about people as things . . . ”

        He never said that, stop lying on the internet

        Transcript:

        You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

        Bush: Whatever you want.

        Trump: Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.

        He lives rent free in your head

        Commenting about something Trump said under an article about something Trump said is quite relevant. In your own confident words: stop lying on the internet.

          Those women probably attacked his tender, tiny digits with their powerful genitals for street cred.

          This makes it look like a pretty clear case of sarcasm to me.

            I’ve met people who hold the same opinions and express themselves in exactly the same way. Simultaneously denying that something is said while also recognising his tendency to twist things.

            So I wasn’t giving the benefit of the doubt. Sarcasm doesn’t work on the internet if there’s real people out there saying the exact same thing.

            But yeah in hindsight, hopefully that was just that.

    I know my mom wasn’t a human being. She was an angel! Except for when she was abusing me horrifically. What do you call some sort of bipedal mammal that exists between heaven and hell and can destroy me with one sentence?
