“I did all this stuff that was illegal when I was a kid. I drank beer when I was 15. I smoked cigarettes when I was 13. I drove to New York City when I was 14 - don't tell my son. Those things were against the law, but I did them anyway. I didn't become a heroin addict, although I probably could have gotten heroin somehow. I don't think my son would buy heroin at any price. He knows what it is, and he knows how stupid it is.” ThinkingKnowsKidsLawStuffCitiesKnow HowStupidNew YorkSonBeerIllegalMy SonNew York CityCigaretteAddictDrankHeroin Author:Dave Barry

This transcends any kind of religion and any kind of belief. This is actually an offense and attack on human values. He's just saying out there I will shoot people in the face and people wouldn't care.” PeopleKnowsHumansKindMeanSaidProblemCareFacesValuesBeliefForgetStupidNew YorkTrumpVotersOffenseNo ProblemFifthAvenuesJust SayingHuman ValuesNot StupidFifth Avenue Author:Bassem Youssef
