Yet we continue to be the only country on EARTH that people would and do die to get into. :coffee: :coffee:
A country where the “poor” live better than 99% of the rest of the globe. :nod: :nod:
A country where you can say whatever the fuck you want and not worry about getting shot for it (unless it’s about the Clintons). ;)

Yep. We must really, really suck....
So I see you don't realize that virtually all of the European industrialized nations
have a higher demand for refugees and human import per capita than the USA..? (France Germany Belgium England etc.)

This is a common misconception... that the poor and downtrodden are only trying to get into America
The poor are trying to get into EVERY industrialized nation as fast as they can
Of course they are. And Europe only gets more demand due to geography and the Syrian civil war and unrest in northern Africa. Not a lot of Syrians and Africans trying to get over to the US. The Atlantic ocean is bigger than the Mediterranean.

Some smaller, lily white countries at the top. I wonder how the US would look if only looked at data of the non Hispanic white population?

Look,
I like this country a lot
But I'm overseas more than 5 weeks a year and I'm here to tell you
Scotland / Everything south of London / Germany Austria Switzerland / Northern Italy / Portugal / Hungary / Belgium
are fucking wonderful countries and places that I would have no problem moving to and spending my life there

Just because I'm not frothing at the mouth blowing old glory
Doesn't mean I don't love America
but I've been around enough to recognize how full of sh!t we are

If you have to pick between the two, it's not AzGrizFan's version.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Anyone that selects the People's Republic of Triptopiastan is not a conservative or a libertarian.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Again, libertarians are just conservatives who like to smoke weed and get laid.

So what are you doing to make things better, besides holding court on a football message board?
I work at a food bank on Sundays
the rest of the time I act like you and pretend to be deaf dumb and blind to all things uncomfortable

:lol:
Always the snarky retort. I’m glad you have a Grinch-like amount of altruism.

Asshole.

You just listed about 1% of the land mass of the world. The REST? A fucking shithole, pretty much.

And I LOL’ed at “everything south of London”....which is about 1/10th of England... :lol:
