I am on my third month as a paying subscriber, and it is worth it to me. I am lower-middle class, so my budget is pretty tight. I wouldn't mind a discount!

Veteran here. Most of us are a humble bunch, but I've met some incredibly gifted individuals while serving... and I served in the US Army Infantry. I would encourage you to rethink your uninformed opinions of us.

I would disagree on this point, being a "right"-libertarian from a low-income family, but I will happily concede that this differs from person to person, situation to situation. Libertarianism promotes and empowers the individual

Hardly. He stated that there is a difference between illegal and legal immigration, and that right now, somehow, that distinction is being lost in the hyperbole. One side of the argument is being unfairly portrayed as a horde of white supre

1. His point was that the Manning leaks revealed one war crime, not a trend. 2. Clapper is/was not a military official. 3. Being a former US Army infantryman, I have no clue what you are referencing with regard to an "explicit dou

I was sponsored through the Udacity Intro to Java course by my employer as a condition of employment when I first got recruited. I found that it was a great course on learning the language. https://www.udacity.com/course

Did nobody else notice the author claimed to be on acid at the time? That is an awfully vivid recollection of events for someone out of their mind on LSD. I highly doubt he remembers the event as clearly as he presents it, and it really beg
