It's a democracy. The people get the government they deserve. It's hardly surprising we have vain, lying money grubbers running things considering how many people live the same way. That is what a representative democracy is.
I do understand that he paid it back. His father was pretty adamant about that. But yeah, he wasn't born into poverty by any means. Unlike so many of that set though he did manage to make a lot of money which he lost then made more then lost that and then made more. Reminds me of Ted Turner who also went bankrupt several times. Those guys are risk takers and wheeler dealers whereas Hilliary is a parasite who has become a multi-millionaire in government service. I know I trust him about -10 on a 1 to 10 scale and her about - 100 billion. He'll probably screw us over and she certainly will. It's not a good choice anywhere I look.
But he said "Pussy!" You can't talk about grabbing pussy like that. The bad thing is he's full of shit. He can't just walk up and grab some woman's pussy without getting the shit slapped out of him unless she's a whore. I'd like to see him grab Hilliary's pussy. Right in the middle of the fucking debate. I'd pay good money to see that. I bet it'd bite his fucking hand off.
Well if we weren't talking about grabbing pussy and Chelsea dissing a big donor then we'd have to talk about real issues and that shit is boring as hell.
Come on now, fair is fair. And to be honest the people most upset about it are the Republican establishment weenies. I know !Jeb and Cruz and Rubio are wondering where all this good dirt was when they needed it.
I suspect that they are desperately digging hard for anything to hit Trump with. He's a lot harder to do away with than Bernie was. I'm sure they couldn't have had it long or they'd have pulled it out before the first debate. I wouldn't be surprised if they find some more evidence of bad behavior before the election. Of course for every nasty thing the Main Stream Media can dig up about Trump good old Wikileaks will drip some more of Hilliary's bad past as well. Nothing like a good old mud slinging Presidential election!
She's got Goldman Sachs and most of corporate America paying her. She's outspending Trump by a ridiculous amount and it's not making a difference. Trump has one thing and one thing only going for him. He's not Hilliary Clinton, and for nearly half of American voters that's all he needs.
I'm not conflating anything, that's the UN. If you take the man rape out of the equation it's only going to lower the rape stats overall. A lot of the problem is that most countries count rape differently. I read where in some countries if a man has sex with a woman without using a condom and the woman complains about it later they consider it rape. I can't figure that but for sure it makes things difficult when you're keeping stats. I can't seem to catch solid numbers for forcible rape. The kind of rape where a guy catches a girl in a parking lot and drags her off and rapes her. They count that the same as if a girl gets naked fooling around in a car on lovers lane and then once the action gets a little too hot changes her mind. On the one hand it's still wrong but on the other hand that guy probably would never dream of raping a girl but got in a situation where his hormones overloaded his good sense. One's a threat to all women and the other only to ones who get naked with him. I don't know, stats for rape are confusing. Prison rape, date rape, forcible rape, rape where the woman decided a week later she was raped. How to rate that may be impossible.
Any computer can be used for learning running any operating system. I've got a slew of Raspberry Pi computers and for $35 you can easily set up a good system to learn programming in several languages with an incredible number of sources providing instruction geared towards beginners and kids. The good thing about the Pi is it's set up for experimentation and hacking. But if all you've got is a windows machine there are plenty of ways to utilize those as well.
Wrongo buddy. The rape stats I quoted originally were from an Australian newspaper. Here are the ones from the UN.
In Australia the reported rape rate per 100,000 people is relatively high, although it is in a decreasing trend, coming down from 91.6 in the year 2003 [26] to 28.6 in 2010.[27]
28.6 per 100,000 in United States
Strangely, it's a tie. I did notice they include rape in prison which is very high in the US which has a huge prison population. They are sad numbers regardless. I was raised in an era when men were taught to respect women but it appears now that not only do many men not do so many women fail to respect themselves. When I was young we all had guns but no one ever took one to school. The people have changed and not so much for the better.
You know, I'd never actually looked at the stats but you are right that the US has more murders per capita than Australia. Just under 4 per 100,000 population versus 1 for Australia according to the UN. Mexico however is running close to 16 per 100,000 and Brazil nearly 25 per 100,000. I did notice however that nearly 1 in every 6 women in Australia experiences rape. I find that to be astonishingly high for such a highly functional and free democracy. Of course we know here that when you go to grab a woman you need to be sure she's not packing any heat. My wife totes a Lady Smith.38 Special. We're a young country so maybe one day we'll get around to disarming our women so they're easier to rape like they are down under.

Ah, yet another of the vermin that inhabit /.
Good! Nuke them until they glow, then shoot them in the dark!

But it's Russia! And they hacked the DNC leaking all the info on how the Dems colluded to fuck Bernie over! Oh the horror!
And then there's !Jeb.
I wish my white privilege extended to a million dollar loan. I got left paying part of a 15 thousand dollar funeral bill.

At least this time it's not a computer word processor document from the early 70's.

You can even open a Bash shell for scripting. What's easier than that?
I always liked Arexx. It was possible to do amazing things with it.

Oh yes. Microsoft Basic V2.0 on my C64. 1983 was a wonderful year.
How do you feel about Python as a language for beginners?
I think COBOL would make a good first language.
