I voice my opinions. I'm not a snowflake and don't need to run to DU or have everyone agree with me to do so.

My opinion is that you are unstable. That's become more evident since Hillary lost.

I mean, look at you. Rabid macaques are calmer.

Notice all the outrage is not over whether it is a shithole or not, but rather about if it was mean to say.

Remember feelings are more important than facts now

Exactly.

Went to school with a young man from Nigeria who explained a lot of why Africa is a fricked up place.

A shite hole as he would tell you.

Warring fractions, criminal governments stealing their wealth while leaving their citizens in debt to World Bank and IMF. Nothing but thuggery.

I was glad he made it out of there.

Interesting observation considering I didn't vote for Hillary.

My opinion is that your observations and opinions are shite.

Two of my assistants 20 years ago came from Haiti. They worked effectively and hard. I'd hire them again.

The guy was hilarious. Loved hot food. He must have had iron lips. I like a bit of heat in my food, but he was at least three levels hotter. Even the Indian (from the sub-continent) people in the office couldn't tolerate as much heat as he could.

How so? Would it not be reality that your coworker is a fat slob?


It makes no sense because you're trying to equate an insult towards a single individual over a single factor about that individual, to the objective and indisputable reality of failed country. You're right, they both be based in fact, but thats where the similarity ends imo.

So you don't think calling some place a shithole is an insult?

You answered a question that wasn't asked. The question...if you're trying to compare the legal immigrants that came thru Ellis Island with with swarms of whoever can make it across the border--which is the difference I was pointing out-- was about legality. People at Ellis Island were turned back if they didn't meet a stringent criteria.

Would it make a difference if your professional work revolved around deciding which people from which countries should be allowed into the country? Would you be conducting yourself in a professional manner if you avoided certain realities in order to be
"polite"?

Maybe you're on to something. It's possible you don't understand the context. Answer this question. Do you think there are any countries on the planet that could be reasonably..in common private conversations.. that you think are "shitholes"?

If Trump believes god is the redeeming characteristic in all people no matter where they are born it doesn’t matter what the characteristics of the country are


Right. What matters are the characteristics of each and every individual, which, in order to establish what those are, would demand extreme vetting before any individual is allowed to stay. Don't you agree?

If you don’t believe this:

quote:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

...then you’re not a patriot.

It’s not supposed to matter where you’re from.

He did. Durbin didn't.
