I wish I could go back in time just to troll some of my old teachers. The whole "you can't have gum unless you brought some for everyone" line makes me want to yell "COMMIE PINKO!!!!!!!!!!!!" hehe.

I had a teacher who would consistently use the "did you bring enough for everyone" ploy. One day I brought whole bag of gum, and when she asked, I said "Yes," got up, and gave everyone a piece.

I got a detention that day, if I recall. For "being smart."

I did that with fudge once, Sandman.

... My dad's a teacher too.  He over-rode the other teacher with "hey, you ASKED, dipshit, and he delivered."

If human morality does not apply to God, then clearly morality is relative; the rightness or wrongness of an action is based upon the instrument performing the action.

Well, I would argue that a "god" who fails to live up to their own established moral code is irrevocably flawed, and a "god" that establishes one moral code for themselves and another, far stricter moral code for everyone else is a tyrant.
