@oracle I become a Java programmer in the automotive industry. It ain't no better. The code is the most horrible I've ever seen. It is so cluttered and unstructured and patched up to hell that it needs a major refactoring. It'd be easier to program it anew from the ground up.

@oracle i relly dont know. good for you though ;)

@oracle I think people in the Midwest just like saying that or they live in the really depressive small towns, like Dennison would be a good example in MN

@oracle Well, I'm not familiar with quotes from over there.
-
@oracle I guess? It has always been divided, in every country, some people want an unitarian government, others want a federal one. Each option has pros and cons.
-
@oracle Some people are not federalists for some reason

@oracle Does that just flash the words in front of you so you don't have to move your eyes?

@oracle Most of the cases of him being racist are alleged, second-hand reports. Personally, it's not hard for me to believe he said those things, but that's opinion, not fact. More-or-less, my stance on this is "Donald Trump could be a racist" and that's about it. I have my fair share of issues with Trump, and there are a lot of genuine reasons to dislike him, and the racism feels overplayed.
-
@oracle Okay a few other things. First off, even if I don't necessarily agree with any sort of Islamic registry or ban on Islamic immigration, I don't personally count those ideas as racist. They're more of an excessive reaction to an admittedly real threat.
There is no absolute, conclusive evidence of Trump being a racist, I can admit that. A lot of it is quotes like this one from his announcement speech:
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” Whether this one is racist or not is highly debatable, and again comes down to personal opinions and definition. Of course the headline that usually comes with this quote is "Trump believes that Mexicans are rapist by default" Which builds the "Trump is racist" mindset. -
@oracle Maybe I don't know you well enough to pick up on your humor. I had assumed you were entirely disregarding the sources because they were on a Reddit link, when I was just using the Reddit thread because I didn't want to take the time to put all the articles together when someone had already done just that.
-
@oracle I'm arguing with you on that. I mean I'm really not arguing at all, the only point I made was that he has shown a lot of behavior that could be seen as racist, depending on personal definition of racism.
-
@oracle What do you define as a credible source? Each article on that thread is from a reputable news journal with proper quotes and citations.
-
@oracle I gave you a link detailing all of Trump's racist statements and actions, what more evidence do you want?

-
@oracle Okay just because I don't want to to take the time, here's a nice little Reddit post with several reputable articles showing Trump's racism.

Also, a racist is not someone who believes one race to be superior to others, it's someone who discriminates or shows prejudice against a certain ethnic group. That is the proper, dictionary definition. -
@oracle I guess it depends on how you define "racist". I mean if you define it as someone who actively lynches minorities and thinks slavery is pretty neat, yeah then Trump's probably not a racist. If you define it as someone who is biased and prejudice towards certain ethnic groups, I feel like he fits the bill.
-
@oracle Pretty much. Just a part of partisan politics, the people of one side will do anything to diminish the character of people who disagree with them.
-
@oracle Or 12 years ago if you didn't vote Bush, you were... Yeah I don't actually remember what the deal was with John Kerry was. But yeah it's the same concept.
