He had bone spurs, a medical condition that can legally get you a deferment, and chose to pursue college education, which is also grounds for a deferment. It was well within his right to dodge military service, where you might come back from Vietnam traumatized, missing limbs, or in a coffin. If I remember correctly, this was the sixties, and the anti-war protests were spiking, especially after Muhammad Ali himself dodged the draft and got sentenced to prison, and this was at the point in time where Vietnam was a lost cause for America. Answer me this, if you lived in the sixties and the military said \"fuck your rights, you're going to 'nam\", would you be praying for a way out?\n\nWhat's the \"inconvenient truth\" about Trump, trust funds, and Daddy's money? He got born into a wealthy family, Fred gives him money, it's called winning the lottery of life. Not the \"small loan of a million dollars\", somewhere up in the 14 million dollar range. According to forbes.com, his current net worth is 3.1 billion dollars. Do the math yourself. Trump took that $14000000 loan and increased it by 22143%, or two-hundred-and-twenty-one-fold. Whatever his father had, Trump may as well donate to charity. Sure, you'll probably say \"but Trump's companies have bankrupted six times!\", so I'll point you to [Politifact](http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/jun/21/hillary-clinton/yep-donald-trumps-companies-have-declared-bankrupt/). Five of these bankruptcies are attributed to the struggling gaming industry, so Trump did the typical investor's thing and filed Chapter 11. I'm citing the experts in the Politifact article itself, by the way. Finally, according to a quick search, The Trump Organization has involvement with 515 subsidiaries. That's quite a number. 6 bankruptcies, where 5 are attributed to the struggling gaming industry (so, 1 bankruptcy that rests with Trump), would kind of be expected, right?\n\nYour final point: \"Trump endorses pedos and is probably a pedo\". You can't actually make that claim because no facts have been proven. Roy Moore was *accused of* child molestation. It's an *accusation*. There is no proof. It's on the same level as what's going on in Hollywood, where every celebrity is accused of this and that. Until actual, undeniable, irrefutable evidence comes out that somebody is a pedophile, they remain *accused*. Let's say you're a celebrity, but let's make your past a total mystery to the rest of the world. Then, some actress goes to TMZ and claims that you pinched her ass at a rooftop party in 2001. Suddenly, every news outlet in America paints you as a perverted freak, and boom goes your credibility, your endorsements, your movie deals, and your whole life. And yet, nothing has been proven. It's an accusation, but everybody jumps the gun anyway. Sucks, right? I mean, you'd know whether or not you did it, but the world has no idea, and yet they still don't want anything to do with you, and it'd suck so much more if what that actress said was fabricated (NOT that I'm accusing Moore's accusers of lying, I'm showing you how dangerous falsified accusations are). See where I went? That's the logic you used. You treat an accusation like it's indisputable evidence. And no matter whether or not Roy Moore turns out to be a kiddy diddler or not, Trump endorsed Moore before there were facts.\n\nAs for your \"Trump is probably a pedo\" claim, you probably added that in as a baseless accusation.\n\nAll done.\n\nHave a wonderful day, my dude.

Met a lot of people and it was fun!\n\n- There are huts along the way, but they are all run by the Swedish Tourism department.

TMB is very busy and you do meet a lot of people. I would say less than 1% actually camp though, most hike hut to hut. Some huts have places to pitch a tent, but you can also stealth camp which is what my brother and I did. Only issue is we wanted to set up after dark and head out at sunrise and the days were super long! like 9pm sunset, 5am sunrise. It was a lot different than backpacking in the US where there are tons of pre-established camps.. finding a good spot for the tent was at times difficult. There is plenty of other Alps trails out there though, ones that are better suited for backpacking and probably less crowded. Some other and similar options are the Walker's Haute Route, Pyrenees Traverse, the Dolomites! ", "Do you know where this is?" ]

Someone like Bernie Sanders would lose here I'm sure, but as long as no Democrats rocks the boat or makes negative headlines for their actual policy positions, they can win easily. The same is true of traditionally Republican areas in the South as well: Delegate Margaret Ransone is further left than Joe Manchin, but she has an R next to her name, so as long as she can make sure that nobody knows who she is, people will check the R box out of habit. Her voters are center-left too, and they hate Trump, but they voted for Trump anyway so they could cast straight ticket. Left or right, we are a very traditional people, we like to do things how they were always done just because it feels right to us. I'm a Social Democrat, as far left as you can get before you get to viva la revolución, but you won't catch me dead trying to \"Asian fusion\" my fried chicken, make my BBQ sauce with avocado, join a church that sings Christian pop songs instead of hymns, or start a death metal band.\n\nNow, all that said, I prefer Joe Manchin to any Republican, and if she wins the primary and loses the general, a progressive like Paula Jean Swearingen could \"rock the boat.\" This is always bad for Democrats in the South, and probably bad for Democrats in equally traditional Appalachia now that the coal unions are gone. As we saw in the South after some of the Dixiecrats brought unwanted attention to themselves by voting for Obamacare, that would probably cause West Virginia's Democrat-voting Republicans to permanently switch over to electing Republicans at the state level based on ideology rather than voting Democrat because pa and grandpa did. Then once they've done it for a few cycles, they'll do it forever regardless of their personal political beliefs, because again, tradition. If West Virginia's going to elect a Republican anyway, then by all means don't let the state Democratic party devolve into a festering corrupt nepotistic mess that's chronically broke and can never put up a good candidate even when they have an actual chance to win, as happened in Florida, Michigan and Georgia. If Swearingen can do a better job of that then Manchin, great. But I'd want to be absolutely sure that the next Senator is going to be a Republican anyway before I go all-in on phonebanking and donating for Swearingen, because while she'd make a better leader for the West Virginia Democratic party than Manchin, she'll never be Senator.", "The joke is that the black one is first and then for whatever reason a few weeks later he stands with planned parenthood", "Oh, he knows what he's doing.

A lot of people thought Bernie brought that energy, but that energy didn't translate to success in the primaries in conservative places like the Southeast. You gotta think that might energize the conservative base even more, which is something a lot of these red-state Democrats carefully avoided when they won. I think a candidate's beliefs need to be at least somewhat reflective of those of their constituents. ", "Hurr durr both sides are the same. Get the fuck out. \n\n\nIf not Joe Manchin, we would have some ultra conservative idiot like Capito. Capito votes for Trump's agenda 95% of the time. Joe Manchin votes for it 59% of the time. Incremental progress is still progress.\n\n\n Joe Manchin is a great team player when it comes to Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Obamacare, etc. Capito wants to burn it all to the fucking ground.\n\n\nSo we need to end this concept that democrats are even in the same ballpark as republicans. Democrats of all stripes actually want government to function, to help increase equality and equity in society. The republicans want to destroy workers rights, worsen income inequality, and destroy democracy to continue to hold power al a voter suppression and gerrymandering, while reaping the benefits of destroying government while in power and obstructing when democrats try to fix it. \n\n\nThen they will say how democrats are terrible, but the real winners of the idea that both sides are the same? The republicans. It was the democratic party that gave us social security, medicare, medicaid, the civil rights act, removed the draft, implemented things like the CFPB and Dodd-Frank.\n\n\nAnd what about republicans? They gave us the marriage of religion into their political party, destroying their ability to compromise. They sold weapons illegally to Iran to fund death squads in Nicaragua. They time and again have destroyed the federal checkbook by reckless tax cuts. They started the wars in the middle east. \n\n\nSo vote for a democrat.

I'm the one who ties my opinion to reality. Manchin has actually won a state-wide election. The other democratic senators in red states are also moderate. That is reality. No progressive who cares about the effect of their vote would vote against a moderate in the midterms in a deep red state like WV. If you were honest, you'd at least admit that your political identity is totally superficial.", "You're trying way to hard to attack me personally for some reason, try to be less petty maybe. On the Manchin issue, I'm still not sure what you're arguing for. You don't want him to maybe lose the primary to a progressive? Tough luck, but that's how democracy works.\n\nYou're so dead-set on keeping the status quo, but the US has been shifting more and more to the right for decades thanks to that mentality. What you call realism or pragmatism got Trump elected, that's what I'm saying. And that's not what I call \"helping people\".", "Huh? All I'm saying is that you don't care about people who would be effected by republicans and that your politics are superficial. You've made that completely clear. For example, you can't exactly pretend you care about the people who would end up dead without health insurance. \nI never said I wanted the status quo. I wouldn't want democrats to nominate someone like Manchin in states like Wisconsin or Michigan. I just am much more empathetic towards vulnerable people than someone like yourself.", "You are delusional my man. People have been dying from lack of healthcare in the US for **decades**, but now it's the fault of progressives? Weak democrats are why the US doesn't have single-payer, weak democrats are the reason for Trump, *and* the dismantling of the ACA. And you want *more* of that.\n\nIf this is what you call empathy I want none of it.", "Tax rates are a good example of what you describe. I think republicans are wrong that the tax cuts will pay for themselves, and I think they are bad policy, flying in the face of keynsian economics, but there is an argument to be made, and heck, I don't even disagree that many if not most tax deductions should be eliminated. That's a debate we can have. \n\nI'm a trans woman. I'm also a lesbian. Democrats supported the repeal of Don't ask Don't tell. A Democratic President repealed it. service in the military is a recognition of equal citizenship. I don't know if you are American, but the cult of the military is huge, and banning gay and trans Americans from military service is, as I see it, an attack on their moral character. It also denies access to a large part of our social safety net. \n\nRepublicans today talk about religious freedom, and when they do, I hear them saying the freedom to discriminate, to write their bigotry into law. The vice president has, in the past, expressed support for \"therapies\" that claim to cure homosexuality. The organization he referenced used electrochock as one of their \"therapies\" I have no doubt that if he were still governor of Indiana, he would be supporting legislation banning transgender people from public bathrooms. In the state where I live, the only republican willing to stand against that call in our state legislature is retiring. \n\nThis is what I mean when I say politics is existential. Republicans across the nation want to treat me and people like me as dangerous predators, and legislate us out of public spaces. They would rather we be tortured to \"cure\" us than allow us to live our lives in peace. they don't want to recognize the legitimacy of our families, or our rights as equal citizens. It's unfortunate that my abiliity to live, marry, and travel, are wrapped up with tax policy, foreign policy, and so many other left right divides, but here we are. ", "Huh? Who do you think you're talking to? You already said that you don't care when people die of healthcare. You can't exactly pretend you care about healthcare when you literally said you want Manchin to lose in the primaries to someone who obviously has no shot in the general. A republican from WV, like you want elected, would have voted for he repeal. If you were honest, you'd at least admit that you're lying trash that cares more about feeling cool than keeping people from dying terrible deaths.", "I hear what you're saying. At one time I held the same beliefs that you do. I thought that Republicans really did want to ban trans people from bathrooms and the military and were trans-phobic. And, some of them are and do. Perhaps this is the failing of the two party system where legitimately bad people get wrapped up and scandalized to the front page of the news which makes it seem like they are the party. But there are legitimate ideas that have decent arguments based not in hate but in prudence. \n\nFor example, the bathroom issue is not about banning trans people from the bathroom. It's based on the idea that genders deserve some privacy from each other and that by allowing anyone to use any bathroom opens up the floor for non-trans people to invade that privacy - for pervy men to spy on women or pedophiles to take young girls. \n\nThe military allows gay people but not trans. The reason for this is because transgenderism has only recently come to the public eye and there is a lot of research that shows that transgender people have high rates of depression and suicide (that is reduced by being accepted by friends and family - but is not caused by not being accepted). By having transgendered people in the military you allow a group of people which on average have a higher psychological risk profile which could endanger other soldiers on the battlefield if, for example, they had a disassociative episode. There is also the increased logistics and cost of transporting hormones to the front lines as well as the cost the military would bear for corrective surgeries. The military doesn't allow diabetics in for the logistical reasons but I wouldn't say that is out of hate or low ethical standards. Instead they are concerned with minimizing risks and costs in life or death scenarios. \n\nI don't necessarily agree with republicans on these issues. But I also don't think they want to treat you like a dangerous predator. There is real logical reasons to the policies the party endorses. I think the best way to defeat those arguments are with logic and by acknowledging the costs and benefits of both sides of the issues. Instead of minimizing them as hateful or simply bigoted we should be fighting ideas with ideas and logic. Does that kind of make sense? Do you see what I mean?", "I agree that your logic is internally consistant. I don't think It relects reality, because I have not seen republicans and transphobes argue in good faith. They ignore or deliberately misinterpret good faith discussion. But I apreciate your efforts, and I agree that rejecting an ideology out of hand, with no critisism whatsoever is counter productive. ", "Fair enough. Thank you for the conversation and I think if you'll look you'll find some honest, good Republicans who are muddled up trying to stop all the nonesense that we see all the time in American politics.

When you first start resistance training, many people get *twice* as strong in the first few months because they get used to using the muscle they already have. The reason their own body doesn't already know how to efficiently use that muscle is because your body isn't actually equipped with any sort of hard sensors for muscle engagement, in much the same way it doesn't have any for [how full you're supposed to feel relative to the size of a meal.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_satiety) So while the actual magic of how muscles convert glycogen into ATP and such to actually exert force is happening down south, it's your central nervous system that's responsible for the sensation of something *feeling* heavy and this doesn't necessarily correlate with when your muscles are *actually* out of energy or under more force than they can handle without membranes tearing. \n\nOf course there's a good reason for this: unnecessary exertion is a good way to hurt yourself, and evolution favored people less likely to throw their own shoulder out doing something that less force could accomplish. Nonetheless, power lifters spend a lot of time talking about the nervous system, and mental conditioning, probably even more than they do about the actual muscle. For this same reason, a lot of power lifters are not necessarily *big,* at least not as big as bodybuilders with very different fitness goals.

Some owners want mean dogs and Pitbulls are disporportionally trained to be that way. Breed fears go in waves. Doberman, St Bernards, Rotwilers have all been the \"feared breed\".

I’m not sure about financial support but from what I saw it couldn’t have been very good. Most of the Inuit people just live off of the land and fish Arctic char, seal, beluga and Narwhale (and the occasional polar bear if they stray too close to the city). \n\nAnyways I ended up leaving just because of the sheer stress that working as a CO gave me accompanied with how secluded and isolated you are as a person who’s never been away from family and friends it was a horrible experience (that and my “girlfriend”at the time wasn’t really all there herself).

As an amazon junkie, I can dig it 👌🏻\n\nAs for the CO, I notice it seems like in places like that with prisons, a lot of people tend to flock to those positions. Is this somewhere that a lot of people in the area would end up working at some point or another? \n\nGot any crazy stories from working at the prison? I (and it seems most of Reddit) love those 😂", "Pretty much default for anyone going to Iqaluit with no skills is corrections with moonlighting at the airport for free flights. At one point I was holding down 3 jobs, Grocery Store, Young Offenders facility as a guard and a bouncer. You burn out pretty quick when you work that much and honestly being a corrections officer was fucking terrible. So boring I wanted to claw my eyes out every day. 2 friends I made while up there ended up also being CO's and they made careers out of it though one of them has had some serious PTSD after having to cut down an inmate who hung himself.\n\nYeah...fun times....", "Man I love Jones soda, but it’s hard to find here in the States, at least a good selection.", "Time to live like the natives used to.

In my eyes he was a good guy, just had a drug issue....\n\nI will miss his stories about how he owned all of those gold AK-47s and how he had his “bitches” fist fight over who got to make him coffee in the morning. This dude was hairy as fuck too (unibrow, massive beard..hairy knuckles). looked like a damn Russian gorilla and stuck out like a sore thumb amongst all of the tiny Inuit inmates (they could barely grow moustaches).\n\nAnyways I better sleep HAHA I could go on forever with these fucking stories LOL", "Never did have to cut someone down, I did have every bodily fluid thrown at me though so that’s pretty cool I guess...", "Haha they did have a lot of weird shit, like pineapple crush which at that time I had never seen in Canada before.", "I believe that!
