Do you believe there are countries that are '**** holes'?

Naming countries is not required. I just want to gauge whether or not CE thinks '**** hole countries' exist.

Made me laugh on CNN when someone asked Joan Walsh if she'd rather live in Haiti or Norway and she refused to answer.

Oh CNN was pretty good this evening. Anderson Cooper was literally upset because Donald Trump didn't call a white majority nation a "**** hole". He actually posed the question to somebody, "Why didn't President Trump call a white majority nation a **** hole?"

Yes, but it's a matter of what qualifies a country as a shithole. Having said that, our fucking head ambassador, aka the President, shouldn't be saying shit like that.
If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.

I wouldn't say a whole country is a shit hole. For instance, most red states are literal shit holes. That doesn't make all of America a shit hole.

Why would you say most red states are **** holes? What metrics are you using? Because a lot of the blue states have cities where you can't safely go, high murder rates, riots, etc.

This is true. But you don't see me trying to kick the Eagles out of the NFL, do you?

And to be fair I mostly think it's Eagles fans in Philly that tend to live up to that phrase. And not even most the ones that post at the NFLB, only a select few

Not necessarily. I'm sure a great deal of the people who believe that some countries are shittier than others also believe that diversity lottery programs should be protected.

I don't know why people keep focusing on him calling the countries Shitholes. The issue is he somehow thinks the people from that countries are inherently bad for the US. Or does he mean something else? If so, he should be extra clear, because people aren't, and shouldn't, be giving him the benefit of the doubt at this point anymore

Yup. I actually had a topic with a poll on it to see how people would feel about particular immigrants, and indeed they do agree with him.

Of course, it was deleted for trolling. But at least we all got to confirm.

The 'shithole' part is completely unbecoming of the president, but it's the wider context of what he said that is the issue (the former is merely a distraction). It's the fact that people from these 'shithole' countries need to justify themselves in ways that other people don't. "Why are those people coming over here?" Even in the slim possibility that this isn't his intention, it plays right into the hands of the more unsavory elements in the country.

This pretty much, and I'm not sure why people seem to ignore that and focus on the country being a shithole or not.

And if it isn't his intention, he should be extra clear, because people aren't, and shouldn't, be giving him the benefit of the doubt at this point anymore

There isn't ONE aspect that's positive about any of those countries. None! no-one can name one thing

and this exaggerated reaction to that comment is why Trump won in the first place. What he said is absolutely 100% true and something most people (normal people) would agree with.

But fucking losers need to cry about everything and complain "oh he/she/they aren't allowed to say (unoffensive thing) because they are (insert job title here)."

like get over yourselves you whiny bitches. The president should be able to think and say things the average US adult also thinks and would say.

I agree! It's better for a president that connects with real Americans.

Crook hillary would say something like "I love Haiti! And Zimbabwe! I would want my kids to grow up there! Look at their culture!"

And I'm like "what culture? stop with that pretentious crap! It's a terrible place for anyone to live and I pity everyone who lives in a pathetic country like those!"

Blue states are horrible. Especially California with it's liberalism. And the inner city with crime rates, homeless people and chicago with black-on-black violence.

Red states have more wholesome values, friendly people, safer, and real Americans.

People are upset because he was asking WHY people from those countries come here...why the fuck should they have to justify wanting to come here for a better life? what part of his statement is 100% true? you're taking all the context out of his quote just so you can be "technically" right...spare me all the "this is why Trump won" nonsense...people who think like you do and ignore all context is why Trump won. They're not smart enough to think deeper past the word "shithole", say "hey yea it is a shithole he's right!" and support him.
