Cuz countering logical facts with “sarcasm” and “mockery” is what gives you the upper hand in a debate right?

In moderation. No "system" without limits is good for anyone. Something Americans fundamentally can't seem to understand.
You had to be extremely smart to be in Admiral Rickover's nuke Navy. Rickover personally interviewed every man for his nuke Navy.
I remember the Prime interest rate at that time period being 21% which made home loans challenging to say the least.
I respect his work H4H which he did for most of the balance of his life until a hammer was more than he could handle due to age.
I do not think we had any other former President do works for the benefit of others rather than lining their own pockets.
I think he had actually read the Bible and internalized the messages there-in. He showed he cared about others by his actions, not the hallow words of no substance of others that have held that office.

Camp David was the result of previous discussions between the two nations. Carter was late to the party and after 12 days of Camp David discussion - they changed little on what they came in with. Right place right time for President Carter. This is not belittling him as I would say the same if this were any other President on either sides of the aisle. What can be said is he didn't screw it up and that is something.
I gave you facts, and you rejected them.
And your insinuation that people who want to kill people care more than people who don’t want to kill people, is absurd. Thus, I responded with absurdity.
Jimmy Carter who is being lionized in many posts here for being a “Christian”, despite his rhetoric, didn’t do squat for protecting unborn children. It is a good thing that Steve Jobs was born before abortion was legal, else we might never have had Apple.
And Apple was started and has flourished in a capitalist country, instead of one of your beloved socialist paradises.
I’m still confused as to what you’re trying to prove here.
Legalizing abortion isn’t the same as forcing women to get one every time they’re pregnant. It’s a choice and women don’t make it lightly when they need to. There’s a lot of consideration between everyone concerned if and when they do. Ppl agonize over putting down their pets.
Do you really think it’s fun to terminate a pregnancy? Fetus or otherwise?
No one has the right to make that call but the mother and her doctor especially men. That’s why it’s called pro-choice, the ability to choose based on the circumstances.
By your logic, there could’ve been many female Steve Jobs if not for forced teenage pregnancies with a lot of them actually live to see their social security check instead of a coffin.
If you can't respect a man who worked as hard as he did for society, it's clear you need to work harder for many more years.
Apple paid respect to a man who did more than 99.9% of others to help people in need.
Donate. Help others. Teach. Build. Provide. Don't worry about yourself, and don't go on forums to say why others are horrible.
This is the end of 2024. If you live in the US take advantage of tax deductions and donate what you can to help humanity, just as Jimmy Carter did throughout his life.

Yeah it’s about getting the most bang for your buck.
If you’re paying taxes, would you rather it go to you? Or bailing out and tax cuts for multibillion dollar corporations that charge you more in the name of inflation but not reduce prices when the inflation calms down?
The assessment is correct. He was a great, very honorable man. He deserves our respect because he was a good, honest man and he was the President of the U.S. for 4 years. As far as his presidency goes, it was terrible. Inflation was out of control, the prime rate for interest hit 21.5% in December 1980. There was an energy shortage and gas lines. He lead a failed event to rescue hostages in Iran, and there was a grain embargo that hurt farmers, etc. The list goes on and on why his leadership was weak during his term. Some of it was because he didn’t want to listen to the “DC” folks and instead brought in his own from Georgia, but overall he just wasn’t a good politician. His “Malaise” speech addressing the country on July 15, 1979 was a terrible move. Maybe he was speaking truth, but citizens hate being scolded by their own President.
You have to be willing to look at the success or failure of Presidential terms from an independent point of view and not a “my preferred political party” point of view. I could come up with just as many reasons why George H.W. Bush was a mediocre President at best even though he was a kind and decent man.
Based on how you feel about the interference and economics, is there a person you do respect for their actions that has been an elected leader?
Oh my god, some of you will turn the opening of an envelope into something political.
Mr Carter appeared to be a person that actually cared about others. RIP.
What I find strange is that I have seen so little mention of what I would consider one of the most interesting stories about a man that I recall being disparagingly referred to as a peanut farmer:

How a future U.S. president helped avert nuclear disaster near Canada's capital | CBC News
In 1952, an experimental nuclear reactor in Chalk River, Ont., about 180 kilometres northwest of Ottawa, partially melted down, becoming the world's first nuclear reactor incident. Disaster was averted, in part, with help from future U.S. president Jimmy Carter.
The Time Navy Lt. Jimmy Carter Was Lowered Into A Partially Melted-Down Nuclear Reactor
The recently deceased 39th president had a hand in the dawn of the nuclear submarine age, including one especially dangerous mission.

A truly decent guy , never cashed in after being President . Not the most effective president , though I voted for him twice . IMHO he was probably more effective in doing things that helped folks after his term was up .
A very decent human being. A horrible, disastrous President. I don’t think there’s ever been someone more unfit for the office than Carter. He had no idea how to play the game, he trusted the wicked (his correspondence with Ayatollah Khomeini prior to the overthrow of the Shah), almost broke the Logan Act during the Bush Admin, and botched the US economy
Folks, it’s not mandatory to share your opinions on the Carter presidency when giving a simple nod of respect to the man passing away
May not “horrible”…but not good. I lived very young at the time of his presidency and I can now look back after and review his administration policies and honestly say that it did not help America overall at the time, but instead set up the next president to excel..which was good and needed at the time. I did not always agree with his politics, but everyone who knows a little about the man would say he was a good man with (faults of course), but a genuine honest to his faith man who desired to help his fellow man for the better. Though I did not always agree with his presidential decisions, I tip my hat to him as a good human of faith that I too agree with; and he should be welcomed with the love that he lived by where he is now. We all could look at him and learn some respect for each other, regardless of our political view points. Rest in peace Jimmy Carter, you made it to 100!
The point is that Jimmy Carter is being called a good Christian, when he did almost nothing about the slaughter of innocents when he had a chance. Despite what you think about abortion, it is impossible to square it with Christianity, and thus, I am calling Carter a fraud.
Everyone concerned? Including the child and the father?
I have no idea what you mean by this bizarre statement.
Out of curiousity, exactly what chance do you feel Carter had? Wasn't that a function of the Supreme Court that, other than the appointment of Stevens by Ford, was largely the very same court that had just decided Roe V Wade a few years earlier? Carter didn't even get a chance to appoint any members of the Supreme Court, so I'm just curious what you think he could have done.
Don’t really give two rats if he was a Christian or not or any other religion for that matter. Not needing a book to be good person don’t make someone a fraud. These days pretty much every religion has become a cult.
Yeah cuz the father isn’t the one carrying the child to the term and there had never been a case of a father of a child ever dying during the pregnancy.
Don’t worry about it. It makes sense to everyone who believes in the equal rights of all.

Everyone remembers him for the bad, such as the Iran hostage crisis, but he was the reason of some important reforms, breaks with tradition
- it was he in and not Reagan that caused the deregulation of the airlines(1978) , leading to reduction of the prices and a massive increase in air traffic
- motor Carrier Act (1980) deregulation of transport sector. This made companies like Amazon and Walmart with their just in time deliveries possible. Reagan took the credit for these because the effects started to be visible after carters presidency
- first time there was a department of education
- start of FEMA after Mount St Helens
- saved Crysler
- craft beer Revolution
- Was ahead of his time on energy (solar tech)
- he was the first to give more power to the vice president
- the first president to release his tax bill (after him, all did except Trump)
- protected a lot of Alaska Against oil drilling by increasing the size of national parks, which he got a lot of opposition for
Small tidbit
- first to walk to the White House at the inauguration

Dept of Ed sent us from #1 in the world to #24 in education today.
This conservative think tank appears to disagree with that timeline:
When was American education’s best decade? And how can we tell?
This summer, the Washington Post’s (fantastic) “Department of Data” columnist, Andrew Van Dam, ran a fun feature about “America’s best decade,” according to public opinion. Across a wide range of domains, from music to movies, the economy, and family life, he dug into what citizens view as...
