I hear the USA does not have free at point of use health care and is full of racists.
What a shit hole.
Yeah, if there's any real, objective criteria for terming a country a shithole, America would almost certainly qualify; rampant poverty and bigotry, a government that wants to be Oceania from 1984 really fucking bad, and a DC cinematic universe that's absolute shit except for Wonder Woman. To be fair, we'd probably be a lower-tier shithole (or is that a higher-tier?), but we'd still be a shithole.
Then again, I suspect most countries in the world except for most of the non-US members of NATO, as well as New Zealand (and maybe Australia if not for the fact that all the wildlife wants you dead), would also count.

The issue isn't that Trump used the word 'shithole' to describe the countries in question. The issue isn't even whether some or all of these countries qualify as shitholes. The issue as I see it can be split into two parts: Trump's ignorance and Trump's racism.
Ignorance: Yet again, Trump doesn't seem to grasp what his new job, and even his country, is supposed to be about. For the best part of two centuries, you lot have held yourselves out as a beacon of hope, opportunity and freedom to people from other countries, people that are having a harder go of it than any of us can probably imagine. People from Haiti want to go to the US because of how they are forced to live - people from Norway are significantly less motivated to do so. Sick, starving, oppressed people probably dream of a chance to make it to the US for a shot at a better life. And they dream that because of what they've been told. 'Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free' isn't just a few lines on that statue - it is the implicit promise that the US has offered for generations. Trump lack of empathy for people who weren't born with a silver spoon in their mouths is bad enough, but it is even worse, even more demeaning, even more frightening is that he lacks a basic grasp of America's history and image that has made your country a goal for the world's most unfortunate.
Racism: 'Why can't we get more people from places like Norway?' All he knows about Norwegians is that they tend to be tall, blonde and blue-eyed. He didn't ask, 'Why can't we get more engineers and scientists?' or 'Why can't we get more people with financial degrees?'. He wants more people from countries with demographics that are overwhelmingly white. Forget about a potential immigrant's education, work ethic, criminal history - all that matters to Trump is that they have the proper melanin deficiency.
Ignorant, racist, heartless, cruel and cowardly. Good luck with him, America.
Boru Agreed it just so happens he bashes countries that just so happen to be majority non white. just so happens to praise a country made up of white people as a majority.
Haiti is radically religious. Norway has more people identifying as atheist than theists. I don't remember, do you guys prefer religious zealots or atheists? Do you prefer atheists because you're racist?

The 'shithole countries' debate should be about 'why do we want these people...' half of the statement. There's a humanitarian argument to be made there. Instead it's "Haiti isn't a shithole!" Even though it's one of the worst countries in the world. As Alpha said, it's literally got a shit problem as the Cholera problem shows. The crazy amounts of rape and child slavery stuff isn't great. It's a shithole. But that's there line in the sand was inexplicably drawn.
We saw the same thing with Michael Sam. Trying to be first openly gay NFL'r. Nobody wanted to draft him because he wasn't good enough. Left accuses NFL of not wanting him because he's gay.
Colin Kaepernick is a bad QB but right on kneeling is a solid position. But left says people are racist for not wanting him as their starting QB.
Ghostbusters was all girls, which is good, but the movie itself was really bad. But left says it was amazing, and you only didn't like it because you're sexist.
Chik Fil A guy donates to some anti-gay causes, which is fine to complain about. But then they start saying the chicken sandwiches are gross despite them clearly being amazingly delicious.
Louis CK isn't funny any more. Woody Allen movies are garbage. And on and on.
They always seem to tack on these weird indefensible positions to their causes for no reason. I'll never understand why.
Michael Sam was drafted
Colin Kaepernick led the 49ers to back to back NFC championships and a Superbowl and the 49ers signed him to a 7 year 126 million dollar deal.
Ghostbusters was actually pretty good, I have it on DVD.
Chil Fil A sucks their chicken is rubbery.
Louis CK - hard to find him funny after knowing what he did
Woody Allen is a child molester, so ya hard to watch his movies without thinking about that.

I don't give a single shit about any of the things on that list. I guess I lose my leftist street cred. Does this mean I have to report back to the commune and hand in my card?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:Three weeks after college, I flew to Senegal, West Africa, to run a community center in a rural town. Life was placid, with no danger, except to your health. That danger was considerable, because it was, in the words of the Peace Corps doctor, "a fecalized environment."
In plain English: s--- is everywhere. People defecate on the open ground, and the feces is blown with the dust – onto you, your clothes, your food, the water. He warned us the first day of training: do not even touch water. Human feces carries parasites that bore through your skin and cause organ failure.

All this is pure bullshit
My friends are 95% left wing, and I have literally seen at least one of my Facebook friends say one of those things, plus to s of random strangers on in the internet.
It's true, I don't know that it's exclusive to the left or anything, but there is this idea that if something is even a little right wing, everything must be bad about it, or that because somethi g is made by minorities it has some inhèrient quality to it, which all just comes off as nonsense to those who don't have the same partisan bone in the fight.

Everyone was heaping tons of praise on Norway in the other thread. But if a right wing person does it, it's because they are white. It's funny how liberals, when asked what countries they admire, normally pick the whitest countries. No racism there.
