You seem very confident your world doesnt need any more evolving or new experiences or potential thoughts. And thats cool. Youve effectively closed your borders to any new thoughts or ideas that dont conform to your world's long held beliefs. And thats totally cool .. for you, in your world. For me ... I am open to considering Obama "constantly bad mouthed 1/2 of the population" but I would require actual quotes and proof ... and not your world's conclusions .. which seem pre biased and pre-conceived with the only question is not "where do we go" but "how do we get to hating liberals". Thats one of the things I love about America. Every person gets to set the rules for their own world. Thats freedom and privilege to me.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
As for "evolving" in whose right mind should grown men share a restroom with little girls, that is insane. Progressively more crazy if you ask me. Some things don't need to change, they are fine as they are.

As for adults .. I dont 100% know where I stand. To be honest, I havent been confronted with that situation where a man walked into a womans bathroom when my daughter was in there. I honestly dont know what i would do until i was put in that spot. I try not take the most controversial thing from a political group and use that as an example of all of their ideas or beliefs though. I imagine a lot of moderate dems are not okay with making any bathroom open for any person. There are many moderate dems and moderate republicans ... and i imagine they agree with each other on a lot of things.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
It seems I can't get to most websites that list the telephone book long Obama's anti-Republican rhetoric without turning off my ad blocker, so I will give up on that task. I have data capped internet with 15 GB of priority data a month and a huge chunk of that gets used on a website I get work from. If I go over I get throttled to 600 Kbps for the rest of the billing period and a lot of modern websites run poorly at those speeds.
I understand people whose gender identification and sexuality deviate from the masses are a cause of genetics, and most I have met wish they were like everybody else. I just don't think it is right to make most of the general population uncomfortable trying to make a small percentage of people comfortable. It seems like minority rule in the USA. For the record I am going to vote for Biden tomorrow and I am one of those middle aged white Republicans a lot of liberals, even in here wish death upon. Strange how liberals claim Republicans are the party of hate when I have yet to see a Republican say they are glad people with old school beliefs are dying off. |

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together. There are some things, just like fighting fires, we don't do on our own. I mean, imagine if everybody had their own fire service. That would be a hard way to organize fighting fires." Obama, July 13, 2012 -------------- I could see how someone could take offense to someone saying they didnt build their own company or their own companys success is not based on the owners hard work or intelligence. A person should take a lot of pride in running a small business. And perhaps may be sensitive to others, who no nothing of their own personal story, to say they dont get 100% of the credit for what they built. How would that person know how much blood or sweat or the risks of the debt the owner had to take on to make it happen. It seems taking that interpretation of what he said would be ignoring the part where he said a few sentences later that ... "The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together." I think reasonable minds would agree small business in America are not each on their own isolated island but each small business benefits from being part of a well run society and economy. in the most basic rudimentary sense ... we, as small businesses, are reliant on customers and clients and the roads (or internet) that connect us to our customers and the marketplace. I certainly couldnt do my job and make income if there werent cars on the road, laws for driving cars, doctors, hospitals, insurance companies, courthouses, judges, balliffs etc .. Obama is clearly talking about the help that we each got (or should have got) along the way. he mentions a great teacher as an example. I do think we all have benefited from someone helping us, showing us how it is done, perhaps encouraging us, giving us our first job or giving us a business loan etc ... Thank you for the example BB. (I believe you said you are not a trump supporter so im not going to parade the lengthy tweets form him specifically attacking half the country or businesses etc)
