Sweden is becoming a failed state where politicians are more concerned with selling a false image of the country to the world than actually fixing the structural problems the country is facing, from integration of foreigners to the rise of white supremacists.

Sweden has the highest rape rate in Europe. You would think they would be very concerned and working to protect the victims, when in reality they are more concerned with denying statistical evidence.

Fake news.

The left is just as bad as the alt-right for making up alternative facts.

You can't even reply to my posts without resorting to personal offence… I'm sorry but that's pretty low.

No they were not… That's not how the US government works.

I understand how the US government works, but there's clearly a double standard when people excuse the previous administration mistakes in order to justify their opposition to the current administration.

People Did… Also, if you consider that "Mass Deportations" just wait... Trump is about to go "The Nuclear" on the illegals...

You said my post was complete nonsense, but you are admitting that Obama indeed deported A LOT of people.

Obama wanted to … This is definitely the most ridiculous thing you said here.

Obama's "pathway to citizenship" was a broken campaign promise, nothing but a cheap way to get some votes. People didn't mind broken promises and mass deportations under Obama. It didn't matter that illegals were second-class citizens as long as the president was a liberal.

No it isn't. I mean I guess if you are completely insane and believe what you are saying, then maybe.

You can't even formulate a counter argument that doesn't involve personal attacks.

An interesting opinion, that I assure you that is a massive generalization and is false.

Bigly! Not false, but a matter of - you got it - opinion, to which I am entitled to.

Cheap labor and political props, pick a side… Conservatives view you as cheap labor, Liberals view you as political props. And I have no idea who You are ... So ... Farm owners typically employee illegal immigrants/legal immigrants to do tasks that supposedly citizens won't do. I assure you, those farmers are typically conservatives. Now that they're being ejected from the country, liberals are saying "Oh Boo Hoo, You Voted For Your Own Farm to Go out of Business."

I'm sure they said the same thing when slavery was outlawed. Your farms are going out of business! Total collapse! The US farming industry will not survive without slavery! In the end, they adapted to the new reality.

According to statistics, less than 20% of farms employ illegal immigrants. If others can employ Americans, they can do it too.

#1 That's the homicide rate, not the murder rate #2 Maybe it is corrupt… #3 Authoritarian is your opinion #4 Google "Mexican Embassy Protest"

1. You're correct, my apologies, that was the number of homicides, not murders. Interestingly enough, your concern is not the number of people who die every year, it's correcting the terminology I used. I see…

2. Mexico is extremely corrupt. It ranks 123/170 in the Corruption Perceptions Index and you can check out any Mexican newspaper to understand why.

3. The Mexican central government has been directly involved with the oppression and sometimes murder of political opposition. That's sounds pretty authoritarian to me.

4. Google returned few results. There were very small protests when the 43 students disappeared but nothing other than that.

Romanticizing other people's poverty - See the Donald Trump Presidential campaign.

He acknowledged people's poverty and provided solutions. Not the best solutions, in my opinion, but at least he didn't ignore them. Trump and Sanders were the only politicians who had true understanding and compassion with Americans living in poverty.

Donald Trump doesn't need that guy to make him look bad. The main stream media didn't even run the story, since Donald Trump making himself look bad, was more news worthy.

No shit, Sherlock! I had absolutely noooooo idea that Trump makes himself look bad, especially when the mainstream media is out there to distort everything he says and twist the facts in order to support their political views.

Do you want America to come down there and take over? I'm sure Donald would love to. You do understand what the hell you are saying here, right? We had Team America World Police under Bush, do you really think America is responsible for the murder rate in those countries? It's not that nobody in America cares, it's just not our fucking country dude … I take it back, this is the most ridiculous thing you said.

That's the opposite of what I meant.

No, it's because they know Mexico is a shit hole compared to Canada…

They want to go to Canada to be "safe" from Trump in a privileged white country. Helping others is not their priority. Case closed.

Yikes, he looks beat up. Meth is a nasty drug.

@jbo1:

Democrats were in power for 8 years, why did no one protest Obama's mass deportations? Why did no one demand that the US government give citizenship to all of these people who have been living in the US for a decade?

This is pathological altruism. Liberal Americans pretend to care about Latin Americans because it makes them feel good about themselves, but they don't really care. They view us as cheap labour and political props.

25,000 people are murdered in Mexico every year, the government is corrupt and authoritarian but no one stands in front of the Mexican embassy to protest the Mexican government.

Liberals need to stop romanticizing other people's poverty and struggles for their own benefit. They care about this man's suicide because it makes Trump look bad, nothing else. They don't really care about the hundreds of Mexicans, Venezuelans, Colombians, Brazilians, Salvadorans who are murdered every day.

During the election, no one stepped up and said "If Trump wins, I'm moving to Mexico to help struggling communities and invest in their economy". They wanted to go to Canada, a progressive first world country.

Thank you for posting complete nonsense. Stop getting your information from Facebook memes. I don't think you typed a single sentence that is factually accurate.

The truth hurts.

Did Obama not deport millions of people?

"As of 2015, more than 2.5 million undocumented people had been deported by immigration authorities since President Obama took office in 2009, a total which is indeed record-setting. During the two terms of his predecessor, President George W. Bush, just over 2 million people were deported."

http://www.snopes.com/obama-deported-more-people/

Was there a single major protest advocating for giving illegals full citizenship during the last administration?

Did the American populace ever go to the Mexican, Venezuelan, Colombian, Salvadorean embassies to protest their governments for not providing for their people?

Why are left-wing Americans not helping Latin American countries to get their shit together?

Why are they not compassionate when they see crime statistics?

As I said, people don't really care about the people south of the border. They use immigrants as political props to make themselves feel good about helping other people and to criticize Trump as it fits their agenda.

Right-wingers are, at least, honest about their dislike of immigrants.  

@Eridanos:

UK voted (well most people in the UK voted) to leave the European Union.  It was the mayority's will so Theresa May has to respect that. The funny thing I find is that all those separatists politicians didn't have the balls to take the mantle in this cumbersome process.

Trump is a sign of the polarization in the USA, it also shows how the Left failed to care for American society as a whole.

Regarding both topics, considering UK's circumstances, I'd rather have all those who oppose the country to have a trade agreement with USA just because Trump is a loudmouth, misogynistic and whatever asshole, to reconsider.  UK will need many trade agreements and USA is just such a ripe market…America consumes and wastes like no other country.

That's the reason Mexico won't give up relationships with USA so easily...an increase of 25% exports to USA generates more income that a 50% increase in our exports with the rest of Latin America (yes, building trade agreements with other countries as a safety net is the ideal and most sensible thing to do, but the American market is just too voracious and good to just leave without trying)

Precisely.

What's happening in the West is a result of decades of politicians not listening to their constituents. People wouldn't become so extreme if politicians didn't turn everything into elitism, nepotism, corruption, born into power.

Rio de Janeiro or Florianopolis.

Prefiro cut, sou uncut.

Canadian whisky or scotch.

Vino, but won't say no to craft beer.

@Eridanos:

Trump has a horrible public image: scandals, a horrible personality…you name it.  But in truth, Trump has actually profitted from this 'bad' media.  Being obnoxious and rude is kinda 'his thing'.  But remember that under that facade lies a shrewd businessman.

Hillary belongs to the political elite, they are taught to cover all their ugly business. But they do have, as they say 'skeletons in their closets'.  Heck! I'm sure after their administration is over, someone will find out juicy bits about the Obama family members even.

None of them are perfect, but it seems that US citizens (and some of other countries as well) are letting Trump's loud and obnoxious speech distract them from Hillary's own faults.

I think the problem is the de facto binary political system that disenfranchises a lot of people. It's borderline undemocratic when two political parties (represented by awful candidates) are the only viable options to represent the diversity of views of 230 million people.

@Eridanos:

Serious? Most Americans I met online rather prefered Bernie Sanders… oh well...though I feel Hillary was an easy target too, after all, Bill smudged her due to his own scandals to some degree plus her own dirt that could be discovered.

Russian hackers? What is this?

Bernie Sanders is too left-leaning for the average American. The Democrat Party and Obama's actual governance would be considered right-of-centre in Canada and most western European countries. Demographics, culture and media propaganda have left no room for Sanders' type of policies to become mainstream in the U.S.

It might not be great but its still 100% better than what we have in the USA.

It's not hard to beat the USA when it comes to healthcare accessibility. Even third world countries do.

@MrMazda:

@jbo1:

A lot of people don't take their meds in SA because they don't want to go to the doctor and be seen as "sick".

True…. Although the same can be said about North America as well, just not in as large of a scale. There are a lot of people, even in North America who do not take the meds either because they're not willing to see themselves as "sick" or because they have eroticized the transmission of HIV and do not want to be medicated for it so that they can increase their chances of passing on the virus. The latter of the two categories of course opens a whole other can of worms in terms of legal troubles, since it only takes one person to step up and lay an allegation of failure to disclose your status to land you in jail, regardless of whether or not the allegation is true. I know this for fact as I am living proof of this. These types of things however are more common with people who are not medicated, which in turn only farther perpetuates the stigma surrounding HIV. Things like the "HIV Vampire" that has circulated through the North American media streams however account for only a small minority of people infected with HIV.

What I find fascinating though is the big difference in price with the meds between North America and the rest of the world. Sadly, even in North America, there is also that group of individuals who can be classified as "denialists" who refuse to admit not only that there is a problem with HIV, but also that refuse to acknowledge the difference between the two main strains (Type 1 & Type 2).

The cost of a 30 month supply in Canada is around $1,000-1,400. I heard you can get generic drugs for PrEP in the USA for very cheap (around $300) - not sure if it's true or urban legend.

FYI - I believe South Africa was the second country in the world to make PrEP/Truvada widely available for the public.

I am not aware of anything LEGAL that is similar to poppers. You may want to try amyl poppers from France, I find them stronger and longer lasting than regular isobutyl/isopropyl poppers.

Very outdated, scenes are repetitive and actors are boring but I guess some people like them.

lmao

Yes. Muslims in the ME tend to be very opportunistic and the Arabs are the worst because they are constantly forcing their beliefs on other people. Europeans are for the most part very kind people and certainly will pay the price.
