-exaggerating many things

ill add more if i think of any.
No opinion at this time, but I feel this thread is going to get ugly, fast.You can say that again. I was hoping people, left and right, would actually put his past behind him and judge him from inauguration day on.
The man himself makes it impossible to do so as he treats any criticism of him as some kind of personal insult and reacts as such. He's either not capable or not willing to separate himself from his profession.No opinion at this time, but I feel this thread is going to get ugly, fast.You can say that again. I was hoping people, left and right, would actually put his past behind him and judge him from inauguration day on.
Spoiler: show
Why do you care more about sticking it to SJWs than having intelligent and forward-thinking leadership for your nation?
Haha, what? Political correctness and "whiny social justice warriors". Do you mean not being a terrible person? Jesus.
Let's judge Trump. Not on what he has said or done, but how he does as POTUS. His executive orders, his leadership, his appointments, his deals, his words, everything after inauguration comes into play now. We are not judging Congress, just President Trump.
Michael D'Antonio, author of a recent book "The Truth About Trump" said the President's obsessive desire for recognition was on display through his long climb to prominence as a business tycoon.
"He absolutely has done this for his entire life -- going back to childhood when he had to tell people he was the best baseball player in New York state when baseball is something they keep records on and they can prove it's not true. He was raised by a very demanding father and his father did not tolerate anything but complete victory and success in everything that Donald did."
Countdown to impeachment.
187 days.
Basically it's a theory I've come up based on trumps behavior and cabinet. I don't think he will last more than 190 days in office before being impeached.
Trump is continuing to undermine America. Still claims millions voted illegally despite there being no evidence to support him. The republican majority is complaining about it. There is now double that other country leaders will have anything to do with him. Trust him or take him seriously.
Countdown to impeachment.
186 days.
well to a certain extent i do consider him intelligent/able to run this country better than hillary. i never said i care more about battling the sjw than actually having a functioning leadership
as for the hillary thing while we dont know what exactly hillary would do, the things she said that she would do (seemed serious to me), imo are far worse than the things trump said (which to me didnt even seem serious)
as for the paper work sometimes people do things they hate if its for a cause they believe in. i am one example of that as i hate the idea of me working/being employed by someone else (i was planing on a career in indie game development), i hate high school and would rather drop out, i hate interacting with other people offline yet im going to be selling some of my possessions to get more money, im am likely to get a "normal" job, and i am likely going to pass high school; all this because its the only way i can get to my partner. while it may take a little time till i actually start doing this stuff, its something i hate yet im going to work hard on it because it leads to something i want/"believe in" this will likely be the same for trump if thats even true.
also as for the he hates reading article i skimmed it (do understand that i skimmed it so i didnt read everything) i didnt really see anything about him hating reading, all i saw was it saying he doesnt read much which in no way means he hates reading (i dont read much, but that doesnt mean i hate reading)
as for the spending time on tv thing that site seems very sketchy to me, and doesnt seem like it is a reliable source of information. hell when loading the page i got a few resolution/loading problems so that makes it seem a little more sketchy. plus the article doesnt really have any names of who said this stuff (again i skimmed this one)
ill refuse to believe that stuff is true until video/audio evidence (or any other substantial evidence) is provided of him getting overly upset privately (since i believe the way he acts on stage is just an act)
there are tons of people (SJWs) who just want to talk bad, and make stuff up about trump. hell these same people will likely call me out for being homophobic, discriminating, white supremacist, etc. (i do believe i have actually been called out on this stuff once or several times)
also in today's world everyone will now yell at you if you say anything like how you dislike the way the majority of certain races/culture act in an area (for example if i say i dislike the way most African Americans act, it's highly likely that many people will yell at me for being racist)is a surefire way to upset people, dude. That's a terrible thing to complain about. Even with using that 'most' qualifier people will see it as you generalising the behaviour of some minority group down to some racial stereotype.
and like i said awhile ago lots of the stuff is likely just talk and we are going to have to wait until we see how things actually go.
also Chicago is out of control... those people just cant stop killing each other, and someone needs to force some order there. hell with the amount of deaths there enacting martial law until these people get some education/rehab would likely be the best idea. that place is a mess and someone really needs to clean it up.

So you thought Trump's entire hateful, xenophobic platform was a joke? But that's what the people elected him on. All of his hateful rhetoric about building walls and cutting themselves off from the rest of the world, and his straight-up lies about bringing back all those long-dead factory jobs that just aren't economically feasible.i haven't really heard anything hateful/xenophobic stuff from trump. lets see the wall.. that's to stop ILLEGAL immigrants from entering America easily. i don't care what anyone else says those people are bad people since they are just skipping the line and jumping into America when other people try very hard to get here, then they start feeding off welfare without even paying taxes. deport all of them (unless they are willing to comply with the process to become a citizen, and pay taxes) those people have screwed up my life so i hope they get kicked out, and never come back unless they follow the rules everyone follows. as for the Chinese he just talks about cutting off reliance on Chinese corporations/factories.
But you aren't the supposed leader of the free world.wth does this have to do with anything? so what if I'm the president or just some random kid as long as i get the job done correctly, and on time does it really matter if i like doing something or not?
He shows all the signs of someone who doesn't like reading. Doesn't ever want to talk about books, is never seen reading them, wants extremely detailed, sensitive reports condensed down into a couple of pages; the only things he likes to read are things about him (https://www.axios.com/trump-101-what-he-reads-and-watches-2210510272.html).
NY Magazine has been around for about fifty years so I doubt their website is sketchy. Web development is a pain in the rear and you have to cater for dozens of different browsers and resolutions. Sometimes even websites for well-established organizations can have some issues.
Is everyone who complains about Trump being a vile human being a social justice warrior? Additionally, complaining about things likeno not everyone who complains about trump is an SJW, hell i complain about him (I'm mostly annoyed about his dislike for environmental protection, but taking care of the environment is our responsibility... the government can help a little but i place most of the blame on civilians) and I'd like him to stop with the exaggerations.Quotealso in today's world everyone will now yell at you if you say anything like how you dislike the way the majority of certain races/culture act in an area (for example if i say i dislike the way most African Americans act, it's highly likely that many people will yell at me for being racist)is a surefire way to upset people, dude. That's a terrible thing to complain about. Even with using that 'most' qualifier people will see it as you generalizing the behavior of some minority group down to some racial stereotype.
But it was the platform he ran on. It's what he said he'd do as president. You can't just pick out the things you liked about his platform whilst disregarding the rest of the stuff you don't like as 'talk' and things he's not gonna do.Obama said he is going to fix healthcare, did he fix it? no he screwed it up more. just because someone says something doesn't mean they are going to do it. hopefully this doesn't happen with trump, though with the way trump words stuff it sounds like a joke to me.
Chicago didn't even have the highest murder rate in the US last year (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/u-s-cities-experienced-another-big-rise-in-murder-in-2016/).
Also, he tweeted his threat out about five minutes after some statistics were aired on Bill O'Reilly. It's entirely possible that he literally watches TV, gets angry at it and then makes decisions based on what enrages him (http://www.businessinsider.com.au/donald-trump-bill-oreilly-feds-chicago-2017-1?r=US&IR=T).

"We are reliving Germany 1932. Gag order on the EPA; alternative facts; Propaganda Ministers; what a nightmare. Are his supporters still goose stepping behind this mentally disturbed fascist?"
"Seems 'Fake news' is their new Sieg Heil."
"All the people who elected this Clown should pay for the wall." <--- I actually agree with this one. If Trump and his supporters want this wall so bad, then let them pay for it out of their pockets. I sure as hell won't.
So Trump is now silencing scientists and is in favour of horrific torture techniques coming back, such as waterboarding.
The man is a monster. At the rate he's going, the rest of the world is going to rise up to stop him.
"All the people who elected this Clown should pay for the wall." <--- I actually agree with this one. If Trump and his supporters want this wall so bad, then let them pay for it out of their pockets. I sure as hell won't.
Mexico is not paying for the wall. But guess who is. ;)

What the hell is Trump's beef with climate change and/or science in general? Why does he hate science so much? Or better yet, why do Republicans hate science so much? It's not just the EPA that has had a news blackout, but I've also read of the National Park Service, the USDA, NASA, and others that have had media blackouts on their twitter accounts, Facebook pages, main websites, etc.
Is this censorship or something else? What's the real goal for all this? Making the media State-run? God forbid! :o
We need these and other agencies to keep posting climate change and other environmental data. We, as well as other countries, need this data for weather predictions and forcasting, farming, oceanography, and so much more. Without climate change data and/or science, what are we supposed to do......guess?
i haven't really heard anything hateful/xenophobic stuff from trump. lets see the wall.. that's to stop ILLEGAL immigrants from entering America easily.Were you aware that illegal immigration in the form of people jumping the border is currently at a 40 year low (https://qz.com/894606/trumps-executive-order-to-build-a-us-mexico-border-wall-attacks-a-vanishing-issue/)? It isn't the primary source of illegals coming into your country. Other things, such as people overstaying their visas, are far more widespread forms of illegal immigration which his wall will be entirely ineffectual against.
those people have screwed up my life
as for the factory jobs last time i checked car manufacturing, metal working, etc. are still a thing. while we might not be getting as rich off it as the Chinese we have better environmental standards, and better working conditions.
wth does this have to do with anything?
They'll simply be automated. They won't be able to compete otherwise. The many tens of thousands of uneducated people without transferrable skills won't be able to find work in a highly automated factory.automated jobs create more jobs for people with engineering skills. there will likely be a lack of man power in those careers which will likely lead to on the job training becoming more of a thing so those who are "unskilled"/"uneducated" will learn how to work there. also automated factories still have tons of people working in them (been in Tesla's factory tons of robots but tons of people too)
Today, Trump decreed and made Executive Orders that no Muslim refugees would be coming to the U.S. from Syria, Irag, Libya, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, and a few other countries. Also he said that priority would be given to Christian refugees to allow them to come to the U.S. :o
2. Trump is giving priority to Christian refugees?
Well the pipe is sitting in North Dakoda already. Made in Russia, and India.
In this case Trump may really be wanting US made pipe, but apparently
except during wartime he can't tall a private industry where to buy the
products they use. Pipe in this case.
But there are people out there that may like him as a president,
That's why you've got to try and help impeach him,
A federal judge granted an emergency stay Saturday night for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries who have already arrived in the US and those who are in transit, and who hold valid visas, ruling they can legally enter the US -- a decision that halts President Donald Trump's executive order barring citizens from those countries from entering the US for the next 90 days.
Considering how much some of you hate him, I added a new option to the poll
well i my self am not that much for the wall. increased surveillance should do the trick. as for the people overstaying their visa, well thats what the whole go after them and deport them thing is for. but hell the wall being built will open up lots of jobs (tho i do agree infrastructure is a better choice of funding but from what iv heard trump is going after that too) i still dont feel that a wall is hateful/xenophobic though (i can understand how some people can view it that way, but to me its just a wall) as for if i pay taxes im not paying them yet, and i dont even know how to pay them for when i start working (my school cut out those classes several years ago)
automated jobs create more jobs for people with engineering skills. there will likely be a lack of man power in those careers which will likely lead to on the job training becoming more of a thing so those who are "unskilled"/"uneducated" will learn how to work there. also automated factories still have tons of people working in them (been in Tesla's factory tons of robots but tons of people too)
also again we got better environment protection and working conditions in our factories. that's less pollution per resource/item produced, and less abused workers.
i dont really care if someone hates their job or not, as long as they get the job done on time, and correctly, and as long as its something they arent being forced to do and they are making it their decision to work even if they hate it im fine with it.
as for the race thing its simple observations that i am pointing out, i never chose to see the majority of them like that, and i wish i didnt see them like this. though i do feel its a good idea to avoid this topic because as i said before "political correctness" has made this a "horrible thing" to talk about even though there are some real issues here, and we end up just disagreeing with observations because those observations happen to point out a fact someone doesn't like.
Today, Trump decreed and made Executive Orders that no Muslim refugees would be coming to the U.S. from Syria, Irag, Libya, Iran, Yemen, Sudan, and a few other countries. Also he said that priority would be given to Christian refugees to allow them to come to the U.S. :o
2. Trump is giving priority to Christian refugees?
happy to hear we will be getting less refugees, though the christian refugees part i still dont like. stop coming to this country and fix your own.
i dislike that idea, but as long as it means less refugees then go ahead. does kinda hurt my opinion on trump a little, at least its moving a little in the right direction.
I'm still on the fence about Trump. I like some of what he's done already and dislike some of it too. I'm waiting more than a couple weeks to make any judgments. I remember some people who were telling the right-wingers to calm down when Obama got into office - you know, because he was going to start a New World Order, take all our guns, and assign us all bar-codes for our foreheads - same principle applies here. The world is not ending (yet) and you're probably going to live to see the end of Trump's presidency like most of the people who survived Obama's. :D Aside from George Washington, I don't think there were any subsequent elections in which the fate of the country was considered to be at stake.
That said, it's just that kind of passion that each political side exerts every 4 years that helps to keep our country alert and ready to push ourselves to be our best and/or our worst selves. You might not like Trump or Obama, but you probably would not become better, both as a person and as a nation, without people you apparently despise provoking you to improve, or to fail while trying.
Considering how much some of you hate him, I added a new option to the poll
lol, I think anyone selecting that option would end up on some kind of list.
......sources tell CNN that White House policy director Stephen Miller spoke with officials of the State Department, Customs and Border Patrol, Department of Homeland Security and others to tell them that the President is deeply committed to the executive order and the public is firmly behind it <--- Really? How much of the public is really behind this? I'm not. This needs fact checking. Another lie put out by Trump.-- urging them not to get distracted by what he described as hysterical voices on TV. <--- Trump trying to make the media, protesters, and any other opposition look bad and liars again. :P
Miller praised the State Department on Saturday, sources tell CNN, but argued that the government needs to do better job of making sure the people who come into the US embrace American values. <--- Embrace? Sounds more like "force" people to embrace American values. >:( You can't force people to do what you want them to. That might happen in North Korea. But I sure as hell hope it never happens here. >:(
President Trump screened “Finding Dory,” an animated film about a fish’s journey to reunite with her parents, Sunday afternoon, according to a presidential schedule shared with the press.
Trump, his family and other White House staffers enjoyed the uplifting Disney-Pixar flick featuring a happy ending for the fictional family of fish in the White House Family Theater.
At the same time, protests erupted across the country to oppose the President’s new executive order on immigration that blocks entry to the U.S. for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim nations. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Turkey, which are also majority Muslim and where Trump has business dealings, are not included. <--- >:( >:( >:(
The irony of Trump’s choice of movie did not go unnoticed.
“Trump is screening ‘Finding Dory’ today: the story of a foreigner entering the U.S. without authorization to reunite with herparents #irony,” the Deputy Secretary of Labor, Chris Lu, wrote on Twitter.
“For me, America is great because of all the people who came here. Not in spite of them. #NoBan.” She posted a second time to add, “P.S. My grandparents were immigrants. The woman making us pizza right now is Muslim. And I’m grateful for all of them. #NoBan.”
-----But his whole thing about building the wall was "Mexico is sending over their rapists and murderers and other criminals, so I'm gonna build a wall and make them pay for it." How is that not xenophobic?
"mexico is sending over their rapist and murderers... so im gonna build a wall..." ya i dont see anything xenophobic about building a wall stopping criminals from entering the country. is having a wall around a prison xenophobic? the harder it is to get drugs in here the better. hell my family actually got mixed up with all the drug stuff since my mom was being manipulated by some guy who had drug dealer connections (my family did nothing illegal though we had to call the cops several times, and were getting stuff stolen)
we are going to need to find a way to get those other people jobs though.
you dont need to love your job to be good at it. again im an example of this, i am likely going to hate my job once i get one but im still going to work hard at it because its for something i believe in. hell even right now i am still kinda trying my best just this stuff is difficult since i have been pretty much deprived of everything my whole life.
i dont really care much about why they act that way, all i care about is that they dont act that way. so what you have a horrible life stop complaining about it and just fix it. do not start littering, wasting money on alcohol, wasting money on overly expensive shoes, attacking people, yelling random stuff, wear improper clothing, and rely only on welfare because you are too lazy to save up that money and get a job.
hell my whole life has been hell, dealing with my parent's divorce/fighting around the ages of 9-16, being friendless ~10-15, drug dealer/crazy people theft/threats 14-17 (even having someone killed outside my house, luckily i wasnt home but that just isnt a nice thought), have had maybe around maybe 10 pets die (picking up the old/abandoned ones no one wants, it starts to wear you down but its worth it to give them better lives) and then leading to now where im pretty much being left on my own having to rely on my self now as my dad doesn't seem willing to help me with the process of getting a job, bringing my dog to the vet, or selling my old possessions to free up space, and make a little extra money. then you also got the stuff where iv been struggling with high school since my second year, iv considered my self as being gay since around 14-15, my partner being stuck in another country/being denied entry into the US, and just the issues iv been having in my more personal life.
I dont care what they went through because that gives you no excuse to act that way, hell iv likely been through worse than some of them yet here i am just wanting to be happy at no expense of others, for things to be as peaceful as possible, for us to stop destroying the environment, for science, engineering, and just our general understanding of our reality to progress at amazing speeds, etc. bad things happening to you gives you no right to do bad things to others.
-----You want a bunch of farmers and people from undeveloped towns and cities overrun by a hostile group to go back and fight the superior force that ran them out? How could you reasonably expect those people to go back where they will almost certainly die?
fight alongside russian airstrikes/Turkish soldiers im pretty sure they would be happy to have more soldiers to mow down ISIS. pretty sure its a lot easier to walk north several miles, than to go to Europe/Americas/Australia. i expect some bravery on their part, and working together to retake their homeland, not just running away to another country avoiding the problems that they allowed to form/grow. they let these issues grow so they are the ones who should clean up that area.
QuoteTrump is putting more far right people into the National security counsil.
People who don't support rights for minorities, gays, or women. Trump

radical actions Trump has taken.

what happened to my mother is relevant to the Mexican dealer connections the other guy had, and if we had a stronger border that guy might have never even gotten involved in drugs meaning we would have never been getting treats/things stolen; so yes what happened to my mom is relevant to all the stuff with Mexican criminals coming into the US. when he says Mexico is sending over criminals i dont think he means they are intentionally "sending" over criminals but that many criminals are coming from Mexico there for a wall between us and a place where many criminals are coming from is going to make there be less criminals.
also there is the thing where if you over stay your visa, or if you come into the US without permission you are a criminal so ya... every illegal immigrant is a criminal so trump is pretty correct... building a wall is not xenophobic, its criminalphobic....
i am not saying anything bad about Australia i was just saying that turkey is closer than Australia.
children, elderly, and disabled/injured i am completely fine with taking in as they aren't able to fight back that well. though why did you place women in that list? women are completely able to fight and in many cases can easily out smart men. hell look at the Russian snipers during WW2 as an example... they got a different thought process compared to men so that's even more diversity in a fighting force which can make it stronger. women aren't weak people that we need to take care of and help out all the time, many of them are able to take care of them selves, and hell iv seen some which would likely make a fool of me in hand to hand combat (if i was even stupid enough to try boxing/martial arts practice with them).
will i fight with them on the battlefield? No... because i was not the one who made this mess. I would however show courage if it was my careless mistake that lead to the mess, or if i did not try hard enough to stop it at all. both of which would not happen, as i put lots of thought in many of the things i do, and i'd likely be trying to stop the issues from growing if i was able to.
now if fighting actually leaded to a significant improvement in the life quality of those i love, or if i lose all those i love i'll defend where ever im living with my life (though this second one only if i have people fighting along side me)
Yeah, places in which Trump has a lot of business interests don't have a ban. All other Muslim countries do. Funny that, isn't it?funny thing is that the countries banned Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Libya are all countries iv been hearing random terrorist stuff from... UNE, Malaysia, and what ever the other places i havent heard much about.. really seems as if its only "terrorist" countries that are banned not due to business interest. (or maybe its business interest and all the terrorist countries are the ones who dont want to do business)
Five states calling Trumps religious ban unconstitutional. Both reps and dems also calling it unconstitutional.
^ But will the Dems, Repubs, and the Supreme Court overturn it? Probably not. :P They'll "complain" about it, but probably won't lift a finger to counter it, especially the Repubs.
Justus department oversteps bounds but still making a stance against this mandate.
^ Yay for them standing up to Trump! :D
Trump's calling it just the same as Obama's.
No, it's not the same as Obama's. Trump's plan is much more vile and worse. >:(
Trump blames the problem on democrats.
Naturally. What else is new? Trump will continue to blame the Dems for everything while the Repubs get nothing. :P
Again he's lying to try to get his way.
He'll always lie. It's in his blood. He was probably "born and raised" to lie. :P
Trump continues to call the American media the 'opposition party".
Trump has appointed a single person to be a security advisor. Then tells two branches of government they are not welcome at security meetings.
This is bad. Very, very bad. :o >:(
179 days to impeachment.
For the first time in history an American president has caused protests around the world.
Yeah, places in which Trump has a lot of business interests don't have a ban. All other Muslim countries do. Funny that, isn't it?
in case you havent noticed elections are all about rhetoric/exaggerations... the whole "mexico is sending over their criminals" thing is a very illogical though and i doubt anyone would believe what is said there if taken literally, thats why i believe what he really meant was many criminals are coming from mexico (and again come into america with permission, or over staying your visa makes you a criminal so there are many criminals coming from mexico) also again a wall is not xenophobic it's there for protection...
the whole "mexico is sending over their criminals" thing is a very illogical though
as for blaming others it is reasonable. iv gone through alot, and had many issues but was it at anyone's expense? no it was not./// illegal immigrants come into the US illegally and take advantage of our welfare which then leads to law makers creating more strict laws/// the border officer who denied keitsu from entering the US created falsified documents which might have been the reason for his ESTA being taken away /// the African Americans iv seen make a mess of cities, take advantage of welfare, and in some cases harm others.
i "paint" refugees as the "bad guys" because it doesnt seem like they tried hard enough to prevent this stuff from happening, they skip the line to get into countries that other people spend years trying to get into, they start taking our tax dollars, and a majority of them dont seem to be productive in our societies at all (taking France, Germany, Sweden, etc as examples)
well i dont really see any lack of compassion in me. it bothers me deeply that people go through this stuff, but it also bothers me that they let this stuff happen to them without fighting back, and then they just run off placing their burden on others.
ya you see the difference here is that he is/was an aerospace engineer... he actually provided a valuable service to his country while he could. hell i know someone from iran who was very friendly, and i know a bunch of my dad's friends who come from Lebanon/possibly Jordan and Syria. the difference here is that these people were wealthy and actually provided a service in that other country before things turned bad. they also came here legally having to wait in line like everyone else, no one's tax dollars is going towards them, and they picked up their lives once they got here instead of sitting around in camps doing nothing or destroying stuff (in reference to the news iv been hearing in France, Germany, Sweden, etc.) maybe if these people we know actually got some help from others the countries wouldn't have collapsed? the main things here is that they either had the money to take care of them selves, or they waited in line to get here. many of the refugees that are coming in haven't done either.
"unimaginable horror" ya... war happens, suffering happens, death happens..... it isnt unimaginable and its something that we need to be strong about, if you cant handle it and want to hide behind others that is up to who ever "guards" you. do not demand that you be taken care of, if you are lucky enough to be taken care of help out in any way you can, be grateful, and do not cause any issues.
if i lost my partner and my dog ill likely feel worse than many of those refugees and just lose all will to live, but the thing here is that i will not demand that other help me, i will not cause issues for other people, and ill be grateful for any help i receive instead of expecting more.
also if you are a refugee, or in a undesirable situation, DO NOT have children. hell iv seen many pictures of refugee children who are likely not even 10. stop having children if you cant take care of them, or provide them a good life...
like i said before no matter what happens you have no right to harm another human, demand that you be helped, etc...
as for not being able to trust the police, iv got some tips....
-wear proper clothing.. sagging pants usually makes many people feel uncomfortable and attracts attention. cant afford a belt? use a piece of string/plastic bags.
-do not get drunk or high out in public
-do not throw trash on the ground
-do not be running around the city all the time, if you are wearing a suit thats fine, if you are wearing cheep clothing that is going to grab attention.
-talk in a reasonable volume, and for once just stop swearing..
-when a cop says put your hands up, put your hands up... (in nearly every single video iv seen of a cop shooting an African American when the cop said put your hands up the person densest listen)
-when a cop says stop resisting, stop resisting
-do not reach for the cop's gun (seen on video several times)
^^ this will mostly solve the police problem-there will likely still be some racist cops but whats better being in jail for a bit, or being shot/killed?
ya the thing is that iv got many things going against me to, yet am i behaving in any way that is harming/disturbing anyone else? no i am not. The reason im safe is because i dont make stupid decisions. if i were to go out acting/dressed like what i just described i'd expect to be arrested/shot. Also i dont have to worry about my family not coming home because i know they will not try anything stupid, and that they will make good decisions. if my family behaved the same way the majority of they do then i would be concerned for their safety.
if someone has an abusive "partner" and they go back to them and get beaten again they have partial blame/are the part of the cause of that happening. i'd expect for the "partner" to pay/work for the all medical costs if needed
I dont know much about the Armenian genocide so i cant make any judgement here (we only covered jewish and muslim genocides in school)
As for the pedestrian yes they do take some blame for not checking again. but this is a innocent enough mistake that i wouldnt really judge that much. i'd expect the drunk driver to pay/work for all medical costs.
now depending on the exact situation, and if the person's personality is if i'd want to help them out at all (in the car incident they would have my full support in most situations)
well in that section if what you say is true they are incorrect. but it doesnt matter men or women they can both fight for whats right (though considering that women usually have barely any rights in those countries, i'd mostly blame the men)
ok then im just going to spill a bunch of oil out in the middle of the ocean on accident.... im not going to clean it up though. see the problem here? someone needs to clean up the mess, and it should be who ever let the mess happened, or caused it, not everyone should have to fix it. though because any threat is a threat to us all i'd support clearing that "oil spill" (in other words if i had money i'd "donate" it to them to take back their country by force)
also if you are a refugee, or in a undesirable situation, DO NOT have children. hell iv seen many pictures of refugee children who are likely not even 10. stop having children if you cant take care of them, or provide them a good life...when i said not even 10 i mean age<10 hell iv seen babies, toddlers, etc. if you hear bombs, and gunfire in the distance maybe then is not the best time to have a child. and from personal experience explosives can be heard from a very long/far distance so you have tons of time to know things arent going well.
But you don't know anything about these people. They might have been perfectly content and maybe not even been refugees when they had their children ten years ago and hadn't planned at all to move over to your country, for all you know.
"I dont know much about the Armenian genocide so i cant make any judgement here (we only covered jewish and muslim genocides in school)"was just pointing out that my school has gaps in their "education" and exclude information possibly on purpose (i hear all the time that many people try to cover up the armenian genocide so i feel the school might be trying to do that indirectly by not teaching it) and surprisingly/most likely not what you expected, i actually feel that all that stuff was wrong (the german people should have never given up their guns and fallen for those lies though, and with the crusades well... that was an invasion from a technologically superior force so i feel they have no fault for that genocide (completely siding with the Muslims here with my current knowledge on the crusades))
I'm not gonna ask you about those, I think.
As for the pedestrian yes they do take some blame for not checking again. but this is a innocent enough mistake that i wouldnt really judge that much. i'd expect the drunk driver to pay/work for all medical costs.once again the person who stepped out shouldn't be punished, or looked down upon it's a simple understandable mistake. the driver takes partially full responsibility and i feel that probation/rehab/paying for medical fees is the furthest the "punishment" should go since both are kinda victims in this situation.
now depending on the exact situation, and if the person's personality is if i'd want to help them out at all (in the car incident they would have my full support in most situations)
Just... no, dude.
well in that section if what you say is true they are incorrect. but it doesnt matter men or women they can both fight for whats right (though considering that women usually have barely any rights in those countries, i'd mostly blame the men)the victims here are the women, children, and those who arent working. the men at this time had complete control of the country (excluding the influence from the US, and Russia but in numbers they could have fought that off without violence). they could have worked together, and kept their country strong but instead they just couldnt work together. "luckily" (though not really lucky, since well.. no rights plus oppression from the men) women had no control over this so they get pretty much no blame.
That's just more victim blaming.
Now that he has a religious ban in placeIncorrect. All immigration from the 7 is banned. Also, may we note that Obama picked the 7? All Trump did is pull the trigger on the 90 day, TEMPORARY ban

this is what they should be but that is not what they are. everyone uses rhetoric in US elections, not sure about australian elections but over here its nothing but rhetoric and talk.
once again i dont agree too much on the wall, but i still dont see much xenophobia about it. it might not be significant but the wall will likely help quite a bit (though the real issue is that we need to start deporting the people who overstay visas.
iv seen his twitter and imo its not that bad, seems like he just likes to talk. imo i'd say that some "feminist" or "liberal" twitter pages iv seen had worse stuff than trump.
well first thing would be to raise your children to not believe in that stuff (i am sure that there are many refugees that have family member in those groups, though this doesnt apply to all) another thing is to stay alert to your surroundings which isnt too difficult (unless they are lacking food/water but if they are lacking food/water thats a bad place to have settled) if you see a bunch of people with guns heading towards your town then maybe that isnt a good sign? as for fighting back there are guns all over the place over there, hell i read a news article awhile back that some people uncovered boxes filled with STG 44s (its old but those were nice rifles) and again if you dont have supplies to fight im pretty sure that turkey would be happy to have more soldiers. also there are some early signs on if someone is a threat. do they talk about you going to hell all the time? possible threat. do they talk about god/Allah like they/their teachings are more important than a person? possible threat. do they talk about infidels? this is a stereotype but in many isis videos i hear them say that alot so if you hear anyone even mention that word then its a possible threat. do they sacrifice animals? possible threat. there are likely more ways to find one but i dont live there so i cant point them out. these are just guesses so im not too sure how they would work so if they dont work then the getting help from turkey idea might be the best.
once i start working im going to be paying tax. not paying tax right now, but i will be later and it takes time to change laws so i'd rather push for this before i need to start paying. also i'm tired of having other people who dont want to give their money waste their money on this stuff.
if their suffering bothers/concerns you thats the definition of compassion. "sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others:" though some/many of us got our own survival/lives to worry about. also getting helped and not offering any help in turn likely means you are a burden... (again what is going on in Europe is a good example of a burden)
and if the regular people worked with the rich to improve things then maybe the countries wouldnt have "fallen."
again the way i feel falls in line with the definition of compassionate. i dont like the fact either but war, suffering, and death do happen and we need to be more resilient to it. the next thing is just telling people to be grateful for the help they receive if they aren't strong about it which is something that i havent really seen (again Europe as an example) the only thing im "demanding" here is that they be a decent individual, which i have the right to refuse helping if they arent even grateful for it. weakness to these things is kinda a bad thing since your chances of survival are lowered by it, but its not something that i view as a major issue, its not being grateful, or payingback/helping that is the problem.
all im saying here is that ill not bother anyone, and be a decent human, so i dont see why you are surprised/weirded out by it (or at least thats what i felt your reply was expressing)
when i said not even 10 i mean age<10 hell iv seen babies, toddlers, etc. if you hear bombs, and gunfire in the distance maybe then is not the best time to have a child. and from personal experience explosives can be heard from a very long/far distance so you have tons of time to know things arent going well.
That's why I said partial blame... they went back to their partner knowing there is a high chance that they might be abused again and they took that risk. yes i know they can be scared, and me loving my partner unconditionally i know that its very difficult to stay away from someone you love even if they caused you lots of pain. but the thing is if you go back to an area you know has a high chance of harming you again then you are at partial fault.
does it mean you should be punished? no, does it mean people should look down on you? no... all im saying is that you do have blame on your self but all punishments and judgements should be placed on the abuser. if you demand that you be helped, and they you be treated special because you are abused thats where i draw the line. if i see someone in need of help or asking for help, ill help. if i see someone demanding that/trying to shame me till i give them money, or if i give them money and they are ungrateful then thats where i completely refuse to help unless they are still in danger of that partner they are with, but if that partner is behind bars and you treat me like that then get lost.
(it might be due to you possibly thinking that the word "blame/blaming" is a super negative thing when in reality all it means is that they take some responsibility/take part in why something happened. i am no way looking down on victims for what happened to them, but if they start to negatively effect me then thats where they are doing something wrong)
the victims here are the women, children, and those who arent working. the men at this time had complete control of the country (excluding the influence from the US, and Russia but in numbers they could have fought that off without violence). they could have worked together, and kept their country strong but instead they just couldnt work together. "luckily" (though not really lucky, since well.. no rights plus oppression from the men) women had no control over this so they get pretty much no blame.
they arent completely to blame for this but they should have worked alot harder to hold onto their land, and shouldnt be rushing over here. though the people who pushed for the wars in the middle east should be the ones paying extra to fix this mess.
This is what they should have done:Spoiler: show
i have a question, is it even a good idea to try to impeach trump? because then we just end up with pence who i consider worse. (im not taking either side here, im just saying)

If I had to choose between two evils, I'd rather get rid of Trump. >:( The guy is a habitual liar and has absolutely no experience whatsoever with politics. He seems to do all his running of this country from tweets on his phone. That is not the proper way to run a country. >:(
China is also backing Syria. I hear they were even sending some advisors to help Assad
It is possible Trump felt this would help him in the polls, but I have alreadyMake that two
talked to one supporter who wasn't sure he does any more.
Trump campaigned that he wasn't going to get involved with other countries wars, but there he is dragging us into another one.

WOW! Who would have ever guessed the sarin attack was a rebel false flag that the POTUS exploited for political points.
I get so sick and tired of globalist President after globalist President.
Despite the rants of "Mad Maxine" Waters--and others--Impeachment is not removal from office. Look at Bill Clinton.
