  - It used to be a thing here but banks have more lobbyists -- nm - spamlet Oct 4, 08:35

      - to not be evil, I guess? -- nm - ty97 Oct 4, 07:04 11
        
        it's absurd to label me evil for not valuing a person who is engaged in violence every day. - tattoo daddy Oct 4, 07:12 10
        
        add to that, i do believe a LOT of people are redeemable. - tattoo daddy Oct 4, 07:17 9
