Were you overcome with the sexiness?

This conversation would be a lot easier with numbers instead of anecdotes


I'm sure churches would get taxed similar to people. If you make a little, you won't get taxed much if at all. If you're a mega church, expect to pay half your earnings

Ya know, in the good times of the OT, the OFFERING is what paid the priests. The TITHE was collected and distributed among the community. Doesn't work that way anymore most places.

I was more put off by the fact they closed at 7.

Dude, there's like four more hours of daylight. Stay the **** open.

Netflix tax for PA. Garbage.

This state would tax oxygen if it could.

Tom Wolf never saw a tax he didn't like.

This is utter insanity.

A student government leader at the University of Houston was suspended for 50 days and ordered to attend a diversity seminar after she criticized the Black Lives Matter movement online.

Shortly after the July 7 shooting in Dallas that killed five officers, Rohini Sethi went on Facebook and opined “Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like AllLivesMatter.” The statement was later deleted, but only after numerous UH students denounced it as incredibly offensive or even hateful.

Instead of going through that arduous process, the student senate approved a measure giving SGA president Shane Smith exceptional one-time powers to punish Sethi as he saw fit. In response, Smith released a letter Friday outlining a set of five punishments for Sethi. The punishments include:

A 50-day suspension from SGA starting August 1. This suspension will be unpaid (she currently receives a stipend of about $700 a month).

A requirement to attend a three-day diversity workshop in mid-August.

A requirement to attend three “UH cultural events” each month from September through March, excluding December.

An order to write a “letter of reflection” about how her harmful actions have impacted SGA and the UH student body

An order to put on a public presentation Sept. 28 detailing “the knowledge she has gained about cultural issues facing our society.”

She should just quit student government and go write a blog.

Police in a Baltimore-area community have shot and killed an African-American woman after a standoff at an apartment complex, police said.

A child was injured in the Monday shootout, and a man was apprehended.

Being punished for saying "All Lives Matter" is a stupidity tax.

But this is like no touch icing. One or two people break their legs while the rest of the world goes on unharmed and we're what...going to put in new rules pretending like it's an epidemic?

BOOM HE HIT MIKEY WITH A HOCKEY ANALOGY

That is what happened...so, yes?

Exceptions always drive this. I mean, look at the whole BLM thing in general...? Do 25% of all black people die every day because of cops? No, it's like 9 people...or whatever...but here we are...with the stupid thing and the cop killing and the whole bit...

Unless the thought is "if something happens a couple of times or is in the outer margins of rational thought in society that it should be stifled and ignored"...? Where I'm sure a case could be made...

Also note that the individual was not suspended from school, but from her student government role. The lesson should be to not use your personal social media accounts to discuss contentious issues.

Does anyone think if a student in the "favored political subgroup" said something like "Donald Trump should be killed and his family maimed" there would be a similar recourse by the SGA "special powers"?

I would hope so and worse. But then the person could just say they were "being sarcastic".
