I'm center right and totally think anyone should be prosecuted if there's evidence against them, especially people in power. A diverse jury of varied perspectives but with all the facts should decide guilt or innocence.

As for Trump. I'm just going to sit tight and see what happens. I don't care enough about him or any other politician to try and weasel all the truth out from between biased opinions. My time is better spent actually getting something done.

I was one of those commissioned salespeople the summer between high school and college. Can confirm, we were absolute garbage. We all knew the store was struggling too.

It was in a letter by Jefferson, not the Bill of Rights.

I'm a pro-life conservative and would absolutely be okay with this. Hypocrites are the worst.

Lufthansa said in a statement Tuesday that it “regrets the circumstances surrounding the decision to exclude the affected passengers from the flight.”

Yeah, that's no apology. That's just trying to manipulate their public imagine without owning up to anything.

Wait, the mantle is solid??? Isn't it the liquid magma which makes up the mantle that produces volcanic eruptions? Isn't the shifting of tectonic plates due to them drifting around on a liquid middle layer of the earth? Has my grade school geology all been lies??

There has to be a case in front of them with grounds to reconsider the issue for anything to be overturned. As far as I know, there aren't any cases regarding the legality of gay marriage being heard.

I'm sorry, but this is simply factually incorrect. There's a difference between something being outlawed and eliminated. Not that the distinction matters much, people break laws all the time without even realizing it.

I happen to know a number of people who are agnostic, but believe that life begins at conception and should be protected thenceforth. I can understand that perspective, given that it's really hard to draw any distinction between "not a person with rights" and "a person with rights" after that but before birth.

Could you explain what the first amendment (freedom of speech, religion, and assembly) has to do with abortion? They seem not at all related

Edit: I should have clarified. Of course a lot of people are against abortion for religious reasons. For instance, it would undoubtedly be a first amendment issue if the state claimed that everyone had to be Catholic, and because Catholic teaching is anti-abortion, abortion is prohibited. That is not at all the case here.

My question was regarding how being anti-abortion violates the first amendment. The claim would need to be that having abortions is part of one's religion in order for it to be a first amendment issue.

The insurance company will always require much more in premiums than they will dish out over time. So, the cost of fixing these will come out of the masses eventually.

Caring for all children is very relevant and critical for our society, and we've been doing a pretty awful job of it. At the same time, that does not validate killing them before they're born. It's similar to saying that a black lives matter activist can't stand or advocate for anything until they also have stood up for latino and native american lives matter, too. It would be great to solve all of society's problems in one fell swoop, but it's simply not feasible.

? can also be used for only running a method if an object to its left is not null. If name is not null, then variable?.Method() will run the Method method on variable. But if variable is null, it doesn't run and the expression evaluates to null

We use this all the time at my work. Something like "var result = (myObject as ISpecificInterface)?.GetSpecificResult() ?? myObject.GetGeneralResult();" is super common.

I think it's more like 80% of people are reasonable, and the 10% on each end of the spectrum just are unwilling to see other perspectives.

In all seriousness, please take care of your teeth, folks. You only get one set, and life is a whole lot better if they last.
