ZERO. That’s the number of Syrian refugees that have resettled in the U.S. that have been arrested or removed on terrorism charges. We can welcome refugees and ensure America’s safety and security. Slamming the door in their faces would betray our deepest values, and it’s not what we’re going to do.
lovely story from a friend today.
Look, this post has been wildly more popular than I thought it deserved, apparently at least in part because "don't burden others; be independent" is far more ingrained in people than I realized. So here's the thing: society works when people help each other. Helping others gives people a chance to know each other, and gives them an investment in the people they help. Helping creates bonds. People enjoy helping, and you are doing a good by letting them help you if they so wish.
Offer help; accept help. You will be a part of creating a helping culture. Which, incidentally, weakens capitalism and the fractionation between people that benefits those who would use us.
Just a quick not friendly reminder: someone who has apologized for past mistakes, made amends for past actions, and clearly no longer holds past beliefs, is a far better person than one who digs up old dirt and uses a person's past that no longer exists against them.

Me, looking at Claude Faustus: That’s some grade A trash. Absolute garbage, through and through. Some serious nonsense, undeniably. Yes I love him with all of my heart, how is that even a question.
