    Anyone who will believe this already knows that Trump lies non-stop. Anyone who does not recognize Trump for the liar andcon man he is by now isn't going to have their mind changed.

    Maybe, but even ten years ago, people would have hesitated to say this kind of thing publicly. Or am I wrong in thinking that? It's not that I think it didn't happen, but it seems to me that it happens with much greater frequency now.

    Yet you could also do much more good with mind control powers than the others. You could be the ultimate mediator, force peace through a means other than violence, get massive changes in place to help the environment, etc. The power absolutely has potential for great evil, but a good person could accomplish much.

    Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master's degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

    Your heart is in the right place, but that's not exactly a reasonable comparison. Few other surgeries, even elective ones, permanently remove your ability to do something as major as procreation.

    People should have the option to have their tubes tied without judgement, but it is not as simple a decision as repairing a damaged part of the body.

    My understanding is that doctors often don't just question but often refuse if they think the person should not do it. To be clear, that refusal is generally based on personal opinion, not for medical reasons.
