    I've backpacked around a large portion of Mexico over 5 months. Tijuana is literally the worst place I saw while there, and it wasn't even close.

    Saying you don't want to ever go back to Mexico because you saw Tijuana in the 70's is like saying you never want to visit America because you visited Gary, Indiana in, well, any era.

    I think "sh*thole" is non-PC-speak for "third-world, developing".

    If you expect the President to be PC at this stage of the game, well, I don't know what to tell you.
    If you want me to tell you that there are "third-world, developing" places around the world that I wouldn't want to go unless armed and with a few of my buddies, there are.
    If you don't think that "third-world, developing" places around the world wouldn't stand to benefit if they were a lot more like the US (or further, the President's vision of the US) and a lot less like what they are, I'd submit you haven't been to many.

    To answer the initial question, Helmand Province, AFG would currently be a sh*thole b/c of the Taliban. But I would love to be able to take my family back someday to visit--people were nice, landscape was interesting, there's some interesting (non-poppy-related) business prospects. I like many of the Caribbean islands I've been to (Puerto Rico, Jamaica, St. Lucia), but I don't like that they're almost completely service-based and without the infrastructure I'm used to. West Africa is nice enough, but if you don't think that Accra and Lagos are actual sh*tholes (including, literally, lakes and bays full of feces), you're naive. Guatemala was nice enough, but there was no way in 2001 that, say, a business run on Western principles would flourish there.

    If you'd rather live in Yemen or Djibouti or South Sudan or Syria or El Salvador (or, frankly, Russia) than Singapore, Israel, Australia, Iceland....yeah, good luck with that. And if you wouldn't, I'd submit that you probably have better things to rail against the administration and gov't for that letting the PC police get you riled up.

    This in good stuff. Don Lemon wants Trump supporters to go fuck themselves and Anderson Cooper has to fight back tears over this.

    Hey Anderson, I see people living in tents in an empty lot every day you dumb fuck.

    Missing the point here. The most egregious thing here isn't the language to describe these countries. It's that he apparently vehemently believes people from a white country are more preferable than non-white. That IS the definition of racism.

    (And honestly, if I were in Norway, why would I leave a place with healthcare that is far more progressive to come to the shithole that America is becoming under Trump?)

    Perhaps your sarcasm is close to the mark Sly.
    Can you tell us why?

    Hahahahahaha. You're hilarious. I don't want any people from Norway either. That and they don't want to come here. I don't give a flying fuck what he calls other countries. Literally do not care. Read this and get back to me about why we need more poor people here.
