Now I've given you what data there is, which clearly shows I was right. At least about economic matters. There is no data that can be given about how well people fit into particular societies. Although I can tell you there are Filipino neighborhoods and little manilas all over the west coast. So while no data can be given on that, I assume that they fit in just fine.

Yeah, and I was - admittedly making a cheap point, that you can't use the broad brush of Philippinos being better off in the USA, since that simply isn't true. Not for all of them. As is the case with every given country.

I didn't say all of them. Why would you assume I meant all of them? That's insane. If I meant all of them I would have said all Filipinos are. I think you are another person who would benifit greatly from actually going to the third world and not on some first world style vacation. It'll make you appreciate home.

OK.

Filipinos in the US are better off then Filipinos in the Philippians. That's for sure.

How's one supposed to understand that statement? Not many, not some, not most, simply Philippinos.

He said he would issue shoot-to-kill orders to the security services and offer them bounties for the bodies of drug dealers.

I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong with this.

Those drug dealers are obviously wimps.  Maybe they need to get killed.  I'll bet the President and his gang take over their business.

OK.

You can fill in the most yourself. Of course I don't mean all, you can tell that by the fact I didn't say 'all.'

Well, Duterte is keeping true to his world, as the police have already killed 110 drug dealers and right wing vigilante gangs have killed possibly many times more. http://www.ibtimes.com/philippines-drug-...ad-2391120

While police have confirmed over 110 people killed, the number is likely higher with other bodies not related to police killings found in the streets with placards on them declaring that the person was involved in dealing drugs. Human rights groups have expressed concern that violence is quickly getting out of control and people are ignoring laws.
