Search Results: personal questions

I was recently banned from another online community. It was a site for software developers. I did not speak about my personal life, and I only asked career-oriented questions.

I saw one of the moderators visited my linkedin profile, and the next thing I knew, I was banned.

I had a post showing my support for Trump. Was it that?

The only other things I can think of was really bad things I did in my past. I had a misdemeanor stalking conviction from 8 years ago. I also was caught up in a sting operation by some vigilantes, who are now facing legal troubles themselves.

I am a changed man now. I am engaged and in pursuit of my relationship with my fiance and maintaining my career. I am a Christian and a church goer and I strive to be a better person.

This is a question for the fellas:

When it comes to expressing your vulnerabilities to either a woman or a tree, which would you pick and why?

I'd personally pick the tree, since it won't use my vulnerabilities and my emotions against me in a fight. Neither will it tell explicit and personal details to others it calls its friends.

But enough about me, guys. What about you?

"Thomas Jefferson declared:

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
.

Benjamin Franklin
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
.

John Adams,
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself.
.

James Madison, Federalist Paper No. 10
that democracies “have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”

"The Founders never used the words "republic" and "democracy" interchangeably.

"Under our Constitution, passing a bill in the House of Representatives—the body most reflective of current majority views—isn’t enough for it to become law. Legislation must also be passed by the Senate—where each state is represented equally (regardless of population), where members have longer terms, and where (under current rules) a super-majority vote is typically required to bring debate to a close.

Once passed by both houses of Congress, a bill still doesn’t become a law until it’s signed (or acquiesced to) by the president—who of course is elected not by popular national vote, but by the electoral college of the states.

And then, at last, the Supreme Court—a body consisting not of elected officials, but rather individuals appointed to lifetime terms—has the power to strike down laws that violate the Constitution. What could be more undemocratic?"
