Funny, "I do homework for money" wanting to talk politics.

Is making money a bad thing? People are going to cheat if they are cheaters. I see nothing wrong with someone exploiting that fact for their own gains. You must favor candidates that want to give away everything for "free".

Not at all. I'm more of a libertarian small government conservative.

Making money bad? No way! I admire your creativity in finding a niche market and going after it.

But selling stuff because there's a market :/ You can apply your logic to selling guns to criminals, drugs to kids, even *** slaves to...

Dude, cheating is wrong period. It hurts our society more than just about anything. The more we except cheating as normal, the worst we become as a people. Weather it's cheating on-- your wife, your school, taxes, at work, at play... It will always bring down the standards of life. It's the same as stealing your taking something that doesn't rightfully belong to you. A society without standard and integrity is domed.

Not trying to sound high and mighty or anything, we all screw up at times with grey areas, but somethings should be clear as, night and day.

I watched the back of my eyelids. Went to bed early last night.

Take a guess.

Some guy back in the day paid me $1,000 to do a college course at Georgetown once.

The other scenarios have victims. Who is the victim when I do someone else's homework? It's no different than when my boss is given an assignment, I complete it, and he takes the credit (not against this...my role is a support function). I do not see a distinction. Cheating on a marriage, taxes, a team sport all have victims. I fail to find a victim.

I like his style and substance that he answers the questions. He doesn't participate in the circle jerks, interrupt, throw put quips, or just act like an asshat in general.

Do you think he would have known what the nuclear triad is? That is what turns me off about both him and Trump. They either aren't interested or do not understand the minutia of public policy.

I am still undecided...it's really between two candidates for me. Well, three kinda.

He probably has heard the term, and probably knows the three components that comprise it. What he probably doesn't know is tactically how and when each one would be used and how the three buffer one another if under attack.

Some of the other candidates showed far deeper knowledge and all were riled up over the aging of said triad. The irony is that all three components are in the early stages of dev to be replaced. I don't think the military hardware problems have ever been a lack of funding or investment that many of the candidates keep going back to.
