Shithole Countries

Post by _MeDotOrg »

According to the President, we have a need to reduce immigration from shithole countries.

Let us pause and consider, as we approach the completion of year one of TrumpWorld, how he has changed the landscape. Not only does he use the expression "shithole countries", but when asked to comment, the White House does not deny the statement, nor make any sort of apology. This is now to be considered the norm for a stable genius who knows all of the best words.

Word is that the White House Staff is not that upset, believing that that this 'tell it like it is' frankness will resonate with his base. Curiously, the story at the Fox website refuses to print the word, using S---hole alternative.

For me, there are no shithole countries. Just some people are shitholes.

that cnn article wrote:-- and added that the US should get more people from countries like Norway.

norwegians would go to the prison, instead of united states...

Inmates on the prison island of Bastoey, south of Oslo, are free to walk around in a village-style setting, tending to farm animals. They ski, cook, play tennis, play cards. They have their own beach, and even run the ferry taking people to and from the island. And in the afternoon when most prison staff go home, only a handful of guards are left to watch the 115 prisoners.

"We have something we call the 'normality principle' in the Norwegian correctional service," says Tom Eberhardt, the prison governor.

"Daily prison life should not be any different than ordinary life, as far as this is possible."

I'm from a shithole country (England). He's right, we're a bad lot. All that high quality tea and Royal Albert China should be banned. Not to mention Jack Russell Terriers, English Bulldogs and the worst, Golden Retrievers.

Scots are the biggest problem. Anyone with Scotch heritage should be deported or euthanized. I have an idea of where we could start.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

That's exactly what most Latin American countries are. If you haven't been there and smelled it in 100 degree heat, you can't really appreciate how appropriate this description is. I don't think this necessarily means people from these countries are immoral or even bad people. Even most Latinos described their country to me as "cagado."

This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.

I can tell you that 100% Peru isn't a crap hole country. It's one of the most beautiful I've visited. Peru Lima South for the win.

100 degree is the steam point of water

fahrenheit?

By the end of the 20th century, Fahrenheit was used as the official temperature scale only in the United States (including its unincorporated territories), its freely associated states in the Western Pacific (Palau, the Federated States of Micronesia and the Marshall Islands), the Bahamas, Belize, and the Cayman Islands. All other countries in the world now use the Celsius scale, defined since 1954 by absolute zero being −273.15 °C and the triple point of water being at 0.01 °C.


is billion 1,000,000,000?
where is the "bi" (=two) in nine zeroes?

last but not least... your president is --- who is he?

The point of the statement was that people who come from those countries are less desireable immigrants because they bring with them backwards skills or beliefs that will harm our country. It's importing a taint. That, for example, Sub-Saharan African immigrants to the US are significantly more educated than native-born Americans didn't occur to Trump. It's a racist sentiment you express near constantly on this board. I don't see why you'd want to distance Trump from him saying something overtly other politicians usually have to dog whistle to you.

I wonder what the brain drain on those "crap hole countries" is doing to their current and future prospects vis a vis economic and social development.
