The “shithole countries” remark is not exactly a bolt from the blue from this guy: http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/11/politics/president-trump-racial-comments-tweets/index.html
Normal American: “Ah, good morning, everyone! What a beautiful day! The sun is shining, birds are singing! It’s a great day!”
Liberal American: “Fuck you, asshole! That sun you’re so fond of evaporates all our precious water and you couldn’t care less! It causes skin cancer too, but you don’t care about that because you’re rich and you can afford sunscreen! But what about all those who can’t afford a luxury like that? Huh? Huh? What about them, huh? You don’t give a shit, do you? And you better enjoy those birds while you can, fucker, because they’re being choked, poisoned and killed by the waste from all those corporations whose dick you’re always sucking. And of course you’d love the daytime, it’s not dark like black people and we all know how you feel about dark people! So fuck off and die, you fucking racist shithead!”
So glad I’m not a liberal. Life is better looking at the bright side.
It’s only January 13th, and we already have a strong leader for “Ridiculous Strawman of the Year.”
You see what’s up here, anomalous? They’re trying to mock and intimidate you in the hope that you’ll clam up and not lend support to views they don’t like. They’ve tried that with every other conservative poster on this board, and those of us who are still here are still here because we recognize that all they have is words and if they can’t run us off with words they’re powerless.
So hang in there, speak your mind, and let the chips fall where they may. There really isn’t anything they can do about it as long as you stay within the rules, and their attempts at trying to make you feel unwelcome through in-crowd exclusionism are nothing but an attempt to stifle dissent, and it frustrates the hell out of them when it doesn’t work.
So again, hang in there. This board badly needs voices of dissent.
Did you take a self-defense class from Clothahump? Because you’re just as brain-damaged as that fuckwit.
I don’t swear nearly that much.
No worries, it wasn’t your voice I was quoting but that of lefties in the main. And trust me, it ain’t much of a stretch.
No, it’s really not. Perhaps he had Norway come to mind in pretty much the same way it does mine, which is to say as a clean and orderly country largely free of crime and internal strife whose citizens seem happy and healthy in body and mind.
Kinda tired, so i’ll rant a little here.
I definitely will. Wasn’t clamming up, I was actually working on something so I couldn’t respond earlier. I see it all the time on this board, it has no effect. It is actually quite funny to be called a ‘fanboy’ when coming from those who likely voted repeatedly for Obama and ate up all of that shit. I am not going anywhere. 
Conservative, here to stay.
It speaks volumes about their character, the types that absolutely love the First Amendment and love and support protests and vocal opposition, unless its something they disagree with. It's called being a sore loser. blah blah electoral college, same crap spewed out about Bush Jr... go ahead and dilute yourselves and be in denial. America was and is tired of the P.C. crowd and their Ministry Of Feelings and Speech. I've met so many of these 'free-range' hipster types and they are all cowards who were picked on in High School and need to be part of something important and cabalistic to redeem their lost self-esteem, sad thing is, they never do and stay this way until they reach a geriatric state where they don't give a shit anymore.
It's pretty pathetic. What's more pathetic is they could care less about being vigilante and defensive over their country, and care more about outsiders/foreigners/immigrants than their own (OF MANY RACES), and openly dispute and ridicule their own fucking President for taking steps in doing so. The battle cry seems to always be calling someone "RACIST!" because they don't share the same opinion on how to progress in our country, not realizing their obsessive fascination with race and race relations are the exact thing keeping racism alive, because they know if race issues cease to be an issue, they won't have a party leg to stand on.
To the points and posters I was replying to earlier; I know you all don’t like facts but calling Haiti and others a ‘shithole’ is on par with FACT. You can check the CIA World FACTbook for cites (CIA.GOV), check the crime in that country and other pertinent data, then compare it to many other countries… whaddya get? SHITHOLE!
Oops, that hurts feelings, too bad. Welcome to the real world.
Find solutions, not emotions.
These are my opinions, it is my right to say them as much as it is yours.
So why would they want to move here?
That was what I thought he meant too. Basically “People from civilised, first-world countries and maybe some of the better second-world ones as well”. Nothing to do with race, although it’s an obvious inference given that most of the third-world shitholes are in Africa and Asia. I mean, I doubt Mr Trump would have issues with someone from Japan or Singapore wanting to move to the US.
I really don’t know why people have so much trouble with the idea of saying “Look, if you want to move here we’d prefer you be more or less in on the same page - or at least the same section of the library - culturally”.
Job opportunities, a change of scenery, new experiences, family reasons, that sort of thing - the same reason anyone from any first world country wants to move anywhere else?
Fanboy (apparently) agreeing here. A lot of those Nordic type countries are very healthy economically and socially, if they are doing so well over there, one stands to reason if they migrated, they would continue doing well. That idea works the opposite way when its a shitbox country, regardless of what color of the resident/migrants skin is.
I don’t understand how hard that is to fathom for some. Its as if they are hopeful for some racist conspiracy to exist.
You put that far more eloquently than I could wish to. I don’t understand why it is a racial issue. It seems like sound thinking. Why bring those who will be a drag on the economy for the most part, when you can bring in those who can contribute much more? The choice is obvious and benefits your country.
Jesus fucking Christ, those Nordic countries y’all want to have a love fest are Socialist. And you know communism follows socialism in the same way the sun rises in the East.
Yes, why do people take such issue with him describing countries or continents as shitholes? When what he clearly meant was [some other nuanced point that would not have caused offense]?
And come to a country full of crime and internal strife, with terrible rates of obesity and life expectancy.
So what? Socialism is their game, so be it, they would be coming here. Nordic countries are an example. Replace it with South Korea, Japan, or parts of China. I have to stay those countries because according this some members here, if I say a certain white country is better off than a non-white country, even if by all means true, it’ll be regarded as racist, so just use your imagination.
The point still remains, those countries would probably have migrants that would contribute more than others.
One would prefer someone to be an immigrant from Japan over Colombia, or India over Jamaica. Canada over Moldova, etc…
China that much better? Really?
It’s not clear that either of you actually have minds, but yes, they are. In fact they’re happier and healthier than Americans overall by a good margin, and don’t forget economically strong, too. The thing that always amuses me when wingnuts like you and Trump praise Scandinavian countries – as I alluded to in this post – is that they are probably the prime examples in the world of highly successful social democracies; they are liberalism writ large, a testament to the welfare state.
So I just have to laugh when lunatics like you praise these countries while simultaneously declaring “So glad I’m not a liberal. Life is better looking at the bright side”. Your characterization of liberalism there is insane. That’s not what liberalism is. Liberalism is Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and to a large extent the UK, Canada, Australia, and indeed much of the industrialized world. Liberalism is universal health care and a strong social fabric and support system. Liberalism is everything that Republicans and insane fuckwads like you want to destroy.
You’re not even conservative. Conservatives historically are mature traditionalists who resist radical change. You and your kind are just bat-shit crazy radicals so far removed from reality that you’d consider Eisenhower or even Nixon conservatism to be practically Marxism. You’re not just science deniers, you’re reality deniers. Cite: the present occupant of the White House, and most of his like-minded counterparts in Congress. You praise Scandinavian countries despite the fact that their fundamental values are diametrically opposed to absolutely everything you claim to believe. But they’re white. One would have to conclude that you’re either racist or bat-shit crazy, but I see no reason it can’t be both, and they do go hand in hand.
As far as obesity it’s not even a contest. Ditto for gun violence.
I’m not going to pretend to know, but AFAIK, the rampant pollution, lack of workers rights by comparison, authoritarianism and political corruptness are a bit more far reaching in such a large populace…
no argument about the obesity thing though, sheesh. There are really some land whales walking around.
