| If you mean in the United States, then my answer is no. I do not agree with book banning of any type. Now, if the government wants restrictions on books read by children (such as in school libraries), then The Bible should be judged in the same way at other books, especially after reading Ezekiel Ch... |

| I saw this coming the minute Biden decided to not run for a 2nd term and even predicted it on Quora. The only reason he said he would not pardon his son was to keep in the running for a 2nd term. Now that it is off the table and the election is done, there was really no reason for Biden to not pardo... |

| The question is, does it matter to you? If it does, then you should make an attempt to obtain it. There are many reasons why one would want a diagnosis. One could be to obtain legal protections under the various disability rights laws in whatever country you are in. Another could be for self-edifica... |

| I went to an honors magnet school for high school. I was treated a little better there than any other high school in the community I lived in but was still basically an outcast, even among outcasts. That said, the school now has a autism program that did not exist when I was in school so I don't kno... |

The ruling though applies only to official acts as President and in regards to the July 6th cases. His payment to Stormy Daniels was before he was President and certainly was not an official ... |

At work, I will give one warning if I feel something will not work and if they insist, I will then do what they want and if it fails, that is on my boss. Granted, I do have a boss that is willing to admit failure. As for personal life, it h... |

The FDIC has the backing of the federal government in the event they run out of funds. Now, if the federal government stops covering their obligations, then it will not be mone... |
