We can't just make someone else's fish!

(noun): A saying dating back to medieval Europe (apx 1100 C.E.). Originally meant to denote one fishmonger's unwillingness to copy his competitor's sign (and thus claim that he sold the same kind of fish), the saying has come to refer to any general unwillingness to copy someone else's work, specifically when requested to do so by a customer.
"I was wondering if you could make me some copies of this licensed product."
"Sorry but they own the rights to it. We can't just make someone else's fish!"

You Atheists shit-libs are so full of shit.
Hym "Yeah bro we can both just say words and, therefore, there is no evidence that the conclusion that you've landed on is that slavery is always bad, there's no evidence that you're equal to me, and there's no evidence you actually believe that people have a right to healthcare. There's no evidence that you have a problem with threats of child murder. Is the evidence just you saying the words?"
