    I think it's wrong to keep them on life support if they really don't want to live.
  • nfahrenkrog on 01 Dec 17
     
    This is good because who wants to be alive if the only way they can stay alive is if they're hooked up to a bunch of machines just laying in bed. Also costing money for everyone involved with it

    I think that someone who is terminally ill and is in pain everyday due to it should have the right to choose when they die.

    I feel like if someone's on life support and are suffering day in and day out they should have the right to end their life peacefully if they're in that much pain.

    "According to a fairly recent book (2015) called The Book of Broken Promises, the American people have been charged some $400 billion by telecom companies (at the instance of government) for fiber optic upgrades that have not materialized."
  • creatures0ver on 01 Dec 17
     
    Huh okay.
  • alarkin on 01 Dec 17
     
    I believe a better use of the money would be to use the $400 Billion directly to create the fiber optics and have the ISP's use those instead of just giving the money straight to the ISP's and trusting them to create a network of Fiber Optics and not put that money into their pockets.

    He made this statement in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson, as stated in the article, who signed the Indian Removal Act. Coincidence?
  • arodriguez333 on 28 Nov 17
     
    President Trump's behavior is naturally insensitive and inappropriate. So it doesn't surprise me that he'd make a comment such as that. I do agree that using that word directly insulted their heritage as well as the achievements they've made during the war.
  • creatures0ver on 28 Nov 17
     
    what trump said was mega wrong and it saddens me that he felt the need to throw petty snaps at elizabeth during this night of honoring the navajo code talkers.
  • alexisnjones on 28 Nov 17
     
    I don't think the word itself is insulting but the way it was used made it become that way.
  • ctaylor147 on 28 Nov 17
     
    donald did insult the senator because the senator isn't exactly one of his supporters but either way he had no right for insulting her even if she wasn't one of his supporters so in other words he doesn't like the fact that there is a woman indian heritage senator for the united states.
  • mborgaila831 on 28 Nov 17
     
    It is a problem that this happened, but the media is "making a mountain out of a mole hill" so to speak.
  • emedina132 on 28 Nov 17
     
    I think they're trying to make it bigger deal they act like they don't know what type of president the country voted for. Long before he became president he was having issues will racial names and opinions, Being president hasn't changed the situation. You'll just have to put up with it.
  • alarkin on 28 Nov 17
     
    It may not have been the word itself that was the root of the problem, but it was the way he used it to try to discredit Warren before, so for him to use it again in this scenario was bad on his part.
  • jacobjensen113 on 28 Nov 17
     
    trump was in the wrong
  • bschiller303 on 28 Nov 17
     
    His comment wasn't necessary at all, he had no reason to call her that and I think he just dug himself a deeper hole by doing that
  • faithwittwer on 28 Nov 17
     
    I believe it is a racist slur. this isn't the first time President Trump has been racist towards someone. I don't think people realized what kind of person Donald Trump is. He thinks that just because he is president he can say and do whatever he wants, and doesn't care who he hurts or offends.
  • connor garges on 28 Nov 17
     
    I think that this should be a big deal because this is just one example of our president being insensitive, and discriminatory. I don't think that these people have a right to say that this slur wasn't offensive, when they aren't native american. A white person can't look at a racial minority group and dictate what is and isnt offensive to that group. If a minority group says something is offensive, its offensive.
  • lynx_2019 on 28 Nov 17
     
    I think he was in the wrong for saying that out of petty but others are also making it a bigger deal then it actually is.
  • shunjitabata on 28 Nov 17
     
    I don't understand what president trump wants to do in the future.
  • edewey022 on 28 Nov 17
     
    Trump's remark was insensitive and childish. He was at this event for the sole purpose of honoring these heroes, but he felt the need to mock Senator Warren. It's not difficult to understand that the name he is using is offensive, especially when he has actual Native people telling him so, yet he continues to behave in this disrespectful manner.
  • slindsey503 on 28 Nov 17
     
    this is why Trump shouldn't be president. He's the worst possible president ever.
  • aruss77 on 28 Nov 17
     
    I think that Donald Trump needs to be more careful about what he says. He does not need to bring more fights to himself by saying stuff like that, but he shouldn't not defend himself when others bash him. He needs to be more respectful as a President and think before he speaks, because he is representing the United States of America.
  • jeremyzuehlke on 28 Nov 17
     
    I think the media is overreacting
  • sreynolds702 on 28 Nov 17
     
    I feel like President Trump shouldn't have even mentioned anything in regards to the natives. He should have just remained on track an honored those Tribal men instead of turning the tables and sounding like he insulted their culture. Plus the media in itself shouldn't have even recorded that, because now WWII is about to happen on the media.
  • dmckiddy517 on 28 Nov 17
     
    I think that i agree with it being "culturally insensitive" as some could be offended by that, but i don't think I can fully support it being considered a racial slur at this time
  • mmccoy349 on 28 Nov 17
     
    This is wrong
  • lyricreed709 on 28 Nov 17
     
    As a Native American, I would say it's a nasty generalization. We are not all a stereotype; and I love how he referenced us all to a children's movie that scratches the surface on our culture. It was a disrespectful remark.
  • nfahrenkrog on 28 Nov 17
     
    He wasn't trying to say it to be racist he was trying to see it to make fun of her but the media of course takes it in a whole different direction
  • Joe Dillehay on 28 Nov 17
     
    I do believe it was culturally insensitive but it isn't a racial slur.

    trump is discriminating against that native of american by using the Pocahontas name as an insult
  • seanlorenzen on 28 Nov 17
     
    This is culturally insensitive. He was there to honor those men, not to take a stab at someone he doesn't like.
  • blaircaskey on 28 Nov 17
     
    I think that it is rude to make that comment, but it is not a racial slur
  • ethanbuck on 28 Nov 17
     
    In my personal opinion I feel like what he said was not wrong but I definitely feel the context to the event at which it was said makes it an issue. Poking fun at someone who claims to have Native American ancestry without proof does not seem particularly wrong to me but to do it at an event meant to show respect to code talkers certainly complicates matters.
  • andrew666 on 28 Nov 17
     
    i dont think it was a racial slur but now that its getting so much press i think it may become a slur
  • destinyg010 on 28 Nov 17
     
    I do agree that it wasn't a racial slur but saying it in front of the Navajo code speakers it was wrong and insensitive
