Luckily we have checks and balances. Speaking of Trump, Duterte was asked about his similarities with Trump and said:
Quote: He's a bigot and I am not.
Also apparently he was pissed off about the Pope causing a traffic jam and publicly said
Quote: "We were affected by the traffic. It took us five hours. I asked why, they said it was closed. I asked who is coming. They answered, the pope. I wanted to call him: 'Pope, son of a whore, go home. Do not visit us again'."

So I guess he's not all bad.

Oh man Min, I wish you would go there and find out. There is a massive difference between them, I mean in terms of economic stability, general wealth, crime, political assassinations......
Yeah, but....who are you saying is better?

Well my brother lived in the Philippians for 3 years and is married to a Filipina. So I do have some idea what it's like there. I also lived in Mexico for a year and South America for almost a year and traveled pretty extensively in the third world. I like the third world but it does make you appreciate the US. There are things I prefer about the simple life in other countries, but you can't really compare those to the US. Americans don't travel though. Generally they are too chickenshit. Talking shit about the USA and then afraid to leave. I'm serious though, I bet an excursion to the Philippians would do you some good.

I was on the verge of going there while I was in Malaysia and I just read of too many violent crimes in the newspaper and decided not to go.
The one that broke the camel's back was the report that a motorcyclist had ridden past a bus stop and decapitated two young girls.
Also, while in Borneo, there were quite a few places like Sandakan where the locals would warn you not to go to isolated beaches because you could be kidnapped by Philipino pirates.

What could the system do if, hypothetically speaking, Trump urged citizens to go shoot people?

Hmm, perhaps this is not exactly a good question ...

I hate to be that guy, but Philippines***

I guess we already spoke about that abomination passing for human. That's the ticket he was using to win the elections. Gorilla style chest pounding and appealing to the most primitive instincts. Should sound familar to Europeans and Americans alike.
The difference between him and Trump is the difference between the Philippines and the USA. Let's just say, not being a citizen of the Philippines I'm less concerned over this guy than I am over a possible Trump victory. Both in economical terms as well as political ones.

Waaait a minute...isn't this the same guy that said he wish he could've gone first in a gang raping of an Australian missionary?
Ah, yes he is.
