Actually, it is. Prove that Hillary's 30 years of being a political stooge qualifies her to lead the largest democracy in the world? When has she ever created an actual job? How did she make her hundreds of millions of dollars? Did she produce anything? Did she build a product and sell it? Did she build a company? Did she follow through on her promise to create 200,000 jobs in New York as a Senator? How have her foreign policy decisions impacted the world in places like Libya and Syria? How did spending $500 million to train 60 Syrian rebels end up? The left is so hyper-focused on trying to assassinate Trumps character that they can't even talk about her dismal record as a career politician and complete lack of real leadership skills. Pathetic.
Actually you're leaving key points out, like most people/media...
He wanted to temporarily block immigration from countries with islamic terrorism (syria / libya) until our country found a way to better vet them. American Muslims, or any other Muslims are not an issue. He also wants to protect our southern border with a wall to prevent ILLEGAL immigrants from easy access into our country.
thanks! yeah the problem I've encountered when using just paper and pencil is that I seem to stick with it for a day or two and then slowly stop... I guess part of that is training myself to be diligent
maybe the problem isn't comment moderation, but rather the expectation that anyone should be able to "control" the dissemination of human thought through mediums like the internet?
the sooner news companies etc drop this notion of control the better chance they stand in the future.
I wasn't sure if you're advocating for or against AA but it all boils down to it being a support system of one addict/alcoholic speaking (getting through) to another. That being said I disagree that there is "a certain type of big ego". Sorry but that is just simply not the case from my own personal experience. There are literally millions of people that walk through the doors of AA and other 12 step programs from all walks of life, all types of personalities and a high variance of ego. It is the last stop on the block...
I just want to say that that I lost one of my close friends Thom Simmons last April due to Fentanyl overdose. He was a young, voracious autodidact prodigy that was always way ahead of the curve especially with technology. I met him through the #django irc channel about 7 or 8 years ago when I was starting out with python and django and we developed a friendship that lasted until he overdosed on fentanyl and died in a motel room alone last year. I had reconnected with him in his final weeks as he struggled to get clean and desperately wanted out of his situation but he felt trapped, afraid, alone, and hopeless. He broke down crying to me over the phone a few days before he died, after I helped pay for a night in his motel room because he had run out of money. I didn't realize the full gravity of the situation or know that he had already relapsed at that point and he was dangerously close to the end. I believe that Thom knew it was his last week on Earth and he was saying goodbye to me. He told me what a special friendship we had and how much that meant to him, how he hadn't met many people in his life that he could trust. We laughed a lot about the many memories of late nights programming, scheming on grand ideas for the next major social platform we wanted to build. He showed me Reddit when no one knew what it was, he showed me hackerne.ws before it was known, he helped me set up a trixbox server and program asterisk with voip connections, we built a custom PLC software for a startup and worked on other various projects. We also shared the disease of addiction and unfortunately he couldn't get the help he needed to stay clean and sober. Upon his death all he got was a short blurb in a rural Texas local newspaper, not a word about the amazing person, friend, genius he was. I later found out that 15+ people died of fentanyl overdose in his town that weekend, all of them addicts that lost the battle.
I had to get that out because every time I hear about fentanyl it reminds me of Thom and I hope that our society finds solutions to help addicts overcome the extremely dark and twisted pull of drugs and addiction so that other amazing people like Thom don't meet the same fate.
I'll never forget his memory and the amazing person he was, and that the very fact that I met him and we became friends was because of the same technology he was so fond of.
