How do we fix out abused and raped well fare system?

Great question and I'm honored you want my opinion. With that said, it's a tough thing to really fix. Here's my take:
I think the most important thing in repairing our welfare system is education. Public K-12 education is such a joke in this country. Those who receive poor education are those who usually end up needing welfare to support themselves. We need to allocate more money towards overhauling the public education in poverty stricken areas. We need to spend less money on things like defense and focus more funding on education, because it's a joke.
That would help greatly, but it won't solve the poverty problem. We will still have the poor who need assistance. So a few smaller things that are necessary:
1. Welfare should be limited to basic needs, without allowing for the money to change hands or be used on unnecessary items.
2. Contraception should be available for no cost.
3. Mandatory drug tests for anyone on assistance.
I could name a dozen more, but those are a few I see as important. I find it funny how conservatives call themselves generous but don't want to redistribute money to the poor. The trickle down effect is a lie and not pragmatic. So there's my two cents.

Ethiopia with shakira, Russia with Kate upton, or anywhere you would like with jbiebs

Besides Miley Cyrus, Bieber is the most annoying person on the planet. Kate Upton isn't even that hot when she doesn't have loads of makeup on and has digital editing, so I'd go with my girl Shakira in Ethiopia

If you were to find 1 million dollars on the ground what would you do with it? You can't donate to a charity or non-profit, can't directly give any to family, must spend it all (none if that save it bs)

Damn good question. I'd first buy a house, build a pool, fill that pool with mike and ikes, then but a Toyota Highlander, buy a bunch of new electronics, and then buy all the nice clothes I've wanted but wouldn't spend the money for

I did unfollow you but people keep liking your answers so your shit keeps popping up. Like stfu

If you have to tell me this anonymously you must not have much going on. So block me :) Says more about you than it does me that you take the time to hate anonymously. And if you think I'm annoying you probably don't know me so there's that

You are so annoying on here holy shit

Then unfollow me, because I really couldn't give a shit

What would you change if you were told with 100% certainty that God does not exist? Or if you don’t believe in God, that he does exist?

That's actually the vague premise for the novel I'm in the midst of writing. If I was told with 100% certainty there was a God I'd be on my knees praying in a second.
I think I would be very angry at this God more than anything, because what supreme being who supposedly cares about his people lets such horrible things happen to those who do not warrant it. I'd be very angry, and have more questions than I do now honestly.

If you were going to die at midnight, what would you be doing at 11:45pm?

Probably spending time with my family, because they're the only people who have been with me through all my trials and tribulations. Wouldn't be doing anything special, just probably sitting at the table talking about whatever comes to mind, or maybe playing a board game.

What are your religious beliefs, if you have any

I guess I lean towards atheist more than anything, but I'm still learning more and finding myself spiritually. I don't believe in any of the common religions out there, and deism is the only plausible explanation for a higher power. I prefer to learn about as many religions as possible before I really commit myself, but I don't see myself believing in a higher power anytime soon. Nothing wrong if you do though, to each his/her own. I don't like when non-secular people criticize atheists though. I'm respectful of every faith and belief until they disrespect my lack of belief

Why are you going to delete your ask.fm?

Don't get enough interesting questions. I get a lot of comments that are positive and I definitely appreciate those, but I like ask.fm a lot more when I get really thought provoking questions.

If you could influence people like a celebrity does, how would you use it for the benefit of the planet?

Social and political awareness

Do you like your name?

I guess. I'm glad I don't have a really common name like John or something, even though I want to name my son John Daniel and call him JD after Zach Braff's character in Scrubs. But yeah I like my name

What do you think of tattoos?

I think if you're gonna get one it should have some meaning to it, and you should have wanted that design for a while before you get it. I might get one someday, but I have no idea what of, so that's why I haven't gotten one yet

Do you think that you’re a good person?

I try to always follow my moral compass and do what I think is the right thing, so yeah I guess that constitutes being a good person.

Where should you never take a first date?

A movie. The point of a first date is to get to know one another well, how are you supposed to do that at a movie

If you could change one thing about yourself what would it be?

Physically, my teeth.
Non-physically, my social awkwardness and my fear of failure that often keeps me from taking any chances.

Favorite book

Into The Wild. Amazing book about someone who gave up everything he had to search for spiritual truth in the wilderness of Alaska, and died there

Most of your tweets are self pitying. Why?

Do they come across as self-pitying? I often like to poke fun at myself, but I never try to make it sound like I feel sorry for myself. I think you're mistaking me making fun of my lack of a social life as me feeling showering myself with pity. If that's how you interpret my tweets, that's your prerogative though

That's great. I hope you achieve what you want and lead towards to success. :D BTDubs you're really cool. I also admire your crazy humor. Love it!

Thank you very much!!

Now that your out of high school, what's your life plan? Just curious

I'm only 17 years old, so I don't really have a life plan, per say. But I have a couple paths I see myself going down. I am going to school to study journalism, so the first and most logical path is to go into a career in writing. I could see myself writing short stories and novels for a living, or doing what I do for a job now and cover sports for a paper. If I were to do the latter I'd want to cover a pro or college team for a pretty large paper. The second path is the military. I plan on doing ROTC In college, so if I decide that the military is the best place for me, I'd be able to go straight in as an officer.
What I do want regardless of career is a family. Want to get married in my 20's, have two kids, or as many as needed to get a boy, and have a quiet life in either California, New York, or Boston.
You know it's fun to try to say what careers or lifestyle I want because in all reality I have no idea where I'll be in ten, even five, years.

Who is the last girl that you liked?

Going straight for the jugular I see. Well since I've graduated i don't really mind saying. There a lot of girls that I "like" for a brief period of time, but don't really know them that well or actually have any feelings for them. But the most recent girl I really had feelings for was this girl Sarah in my English class senior year. I think she liked me back, but I did something (I don't know what) to mess it up and we haven't talked since New Year's. I don't really regret that whatever we had ended as much as i regret how it ended, with both of us having too much pride to really talk to one another

Sounds like a lunch date lets make it happen

I want to go to chipotle with you after move-in day! You better know who this is.

Aye Eli we're definitely going to Cholt bro. Hey so I'm gonna call in to the show this week with some topics. Firstly I'm gonna talk about how the Chargers should change their uniform back to the powder blue every game, home and away. Second we'll talk about this season for PAC-12 football, and third we can talk about how badly Oak Ridge dominates Pondo in every sport.
