When we spend an ever increasing amount on education and yet our kids do worse and worse each year you have to wonder where the money is going? It makes sense to put education back in the hands of the localities (state/city/county/whatever) than trying to do it all at the Federal level.

Seems that if these "Professional Educators" can't do it that we should try something else.

You mean "Teachers".... I know let's let local counties start teaching that evolution is bunkum and Americhuh was made 6000 years ago by dinosaurs... then banning music, books and dancing.

We've had issues with all those countries in the past so why did no previous President do the same? Not to mention if you actually do the research those 7 countries are ISIS strongholds. But I guess hatred of Trump takes it all. And, yes I think the list should be increased. But it's a start.

No president did the same because it's stupid and counter-productive:
- IS is already very happy with the ban because it fits into their retoric that Western civilisation is at war with Islam.
- It puts American lives at risk as there are US military bases in each of those countries. You can be very sure that any local collaborations will be negatively impacted by this for the long-term.
- Irak is one of the mayor allies in the fight against IS. Guess that's not important?
- There have been 0 terrorist attacks on US-soil from these 7 countries.
- No country from 9/11 is on the list. Why?

All Trump does is make show. He wants to impose this image of the strong leader that is in control, while he doesn't have a clue what's he's doing. And that's very dangerous, for the US but also for the rest of the world. He's better of focussing on internal affairs: like searching for those so called 3-5 millions illegal voters. That way he doesn't cause any harm.

Hope technology companies take appropriate action and diversify their locations. Why stay mainly in the US?

How is it that after an event like the Mosque shooting in Canada, millions of Christians around the world stand up and say they support and respect their Muslim brothers and denounce the attack. Yet when it's a Muslim extremist who drives a truck through a crowded Christmas market, the Muslim community is silent?

But they aren't silent. The community is very vocal. Their governments, however, aren't.
 
Interesting, the companies are effectively arguing that the economic impact to their companies and the negative impact on "American interest" Trumps (pun was somewhat intentional) national security and that, although well within his legal authority to do so, Trump shouldn't be allowed to enact the immigration restrictions.

I think that his ultimately comes down to what is legal - that is ultimately what will be in front of the SOTUS (let's face, the 9th Circuit of Appeals will never run in Trump's favor on anything). I don't see where Trump has exceeded his legal authority on this issue or where he has to show cause even to justify the executive order.
 
Well if you don't teach people about how to use contraceptives how can they be expected to take personally responsibility for pregnancy?
The parents can teach this. Why should the teachers do it? It's a waste of time and money. And the teachers shouldn't be parenting the kids.

End Statement.
 
Funny how Obama did the same thing during his term, and not one peep from the compliant media or from industry. Trump does it and everyone loses their minds.

If you don't think a country should be allowed to control who they let into their country then you don't care about sovereignty. Give your head a shake.
 
There are major pro-muslim demonstrations around the world right now after the Canada Mosque shooting. There was an event in Quebec where thousands of christians stood around praying muslims to symbolically protect them. There are millions of christians public supporting muslims and having anti-islamophobia marches this week.

So a few Sermons saying don't blow up your neighbours' children is comparable? How about seeing millions of muslims take to the streets protesting against radical islamic violence? It'll never happen.

Just because Muslims don't fight against terrorism in the way you think they should , doesn't mean they are just standing by and not saying or doing anything about it.

But I don't see white people in the street everytime a dylan roof or Timothy Mcvaye commits an act of terrorism. Does it mean white people don't condemn it?

It isn't really that hard to construct your thoughts to avoid coming across as racist. Just stop singling out muslims and start singling out the Middle East.

That is very racist of you, you must hate the Jews.

The whole Middle East persecutes homosexuals. Except Israel.

The whole Middle East persecutes women. Except Israel.
 
LOL. People believe anything they are told. The whole liberal agenda is over money and power. Tech companies want immigrants to save money over hiring Americans. Read:

https://betanews.com/2012/10/25/h-1b-visa-abuse-limits-wages-and-steals-us-jobs/

Politicians want immigrants and illegal aliens for Votes.

None of this rambling has anything to do with Human Rights. Money and Power, that's what's driving this. I say get rid of all the Visas and make US companies hire Americans. OH THE HORROR!

No reason why USA can't regulate immigration. Silicon Valley was not elected to be in charge of national security. PERIOD. Sorry but globalists won't be running our country from now on. DEAL WITH IT.
 
F*** the parents hang ups. You had sex, you squeezed a baby out of your genitals, not raise the damn thing. Parenting is hard. It's a full time job. Get off your ass and do your job.

And what happens when people don't? You want to take their kids off them for finding sex icky?

I think Trump is going to be a massive disappointment, because he's kept the globalists in his cabinet.

I agree. But not like this.
 
Calling Trump "Hitler" is what's truly ignorant. If you think Trump is at all comparable to someone who tortured, starved, and murder over 6 million people then I'm not sure how anyone can help you. To make this comparison not only sounds incredibly ignorant it also minimizes the suffering those people went through and the pain that those who survived still endure.

Just gross.

I agree he is Gross - Time will tell buddy. Also get off your high horse - you are overtly thrusting your political agenda in with your pic and Sig.
The comparison is there - His entire agenda is VERY much like 1930s German politics - Ban people with other ideals - Appeal to the disenfranchised with propaganda and out and out lies - Convincing himself even that these are true - Classic Narcissism.

Trumps ex-wife has said he read “Mein Kampf” before going to bed and yes, while a it's shocking that Trump can read it does explain some of his political motivations http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/exp...between-trump-and-hitlers-propaganda-tactics/

Oh and just a point... you clearly want Hilary to go to prison for the private email servers - despite being cleared by the CIA twice yet Trump secured the POTUS twitter account with a freaking Gmail account...
 
At my company we have foreign employees (with visa's and green cards) who are afraid to visit their familes for fear of not being able to return back to the U.S. They are cancellling/delaying vacations which is impacting project schedules and we now have to review the vacation policy to accomodate their change in plans. To say this horribly implemented ban doesn't impact the tech industry and that companies should stay out is ridiculously naive.
