(1 Peter 4:8 KJV) (8) And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostThat reminds me of the trend among many schools to require students to do volunteer work. If it is required then it can hardly be considered volunteering."The man from the yacht thought he was the first to find England; I thought I was the first to find Europe. I did try to found a heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy."

Originally posted by Sparko View Postaround 30% of the cost is labor. That's like $1.50 of labor for a $5 burger. Double the wage and you will also have to up the taxes and such so it would probably end up costing $4 of labor per $5 burger. Not very negligible at all.
