I mean, Trump was complaining about immigration from "shithole countries" which implies that the people there are bad or shitty, or else why is it relevant which country they come from?

Yeah that's what I am saying. But the focus of the criticism I've seen has largely (and incorrectly) been on his characterization of the countries, which I think is perfectly accurate.

Saying "Haiti is a shithole" is a fact. Saying "Haiti is a shithole and therefore I don't want any of its people immigrating here" is closeminded. If the place is a shithole, then why wouldn't you want to reward the people to work to escape that?

I don't think I've seen anybody make the distinction you're making. Like, I'm fairly sure I haven't seen somebody go "How dare he call the country, and only the country, a shithole!"

That's my quick take from the headlines I've been reading. "Trump calls Haiti a 'shithole'" instead of "Trump says he doesn't want more immigration from 'shithole' countries."

you really need to learn what facts are, you've been struggling with the concept for some time

you're why common core exists and has a whole section on identifying facts

From Wikipedia:

Haiti is an island nation formed from a mountain of shit that filled a hole in the Caribbean Sea.

I'm not sure what the big deal is. Is anyone denying that Haiti is a shithole? That doesn't mean the people there are bad or shitty. But it still is a shithole.

Yes, but a roaring stock market has innumerable indirect benefits as well.

Wage growth this year was roughly 2.5%.

Pre-2007 recession they generally grew at 3-3.5%

Don't get me wrong, it's good that wages are finally growing again but they should be growing at a faster rate if the stock market played such a big factor.

Wages are not the only factor to individual wealth. I'd rather have a smaller wage increase and see my 401k increase by 20% to be quite honest.

Don't forget 52% of adults own stocks in some form (401k, individual stocks, etc) meaning 48% received no direct benefit from all these gains.

Yes, but a roaring stock market has innumerable indirect benefits as well. That's why it's a really hard argument to make that a bull market only helps the wealthy.

Yeah basically all indicators are that the economy is prospering. You can argue about how much credit ought to go to Trump/Obama/the free market, but you aren't going to convince anyone that the economy isn't doing great right now.

if you think lyrics in hip hop are important you're obviously never going to put 2001 on a "best hip hop albums ever" list.

that being said, i'm a beats over rapping guy (as stated before) and i never thought dre's beats were THAT great, at least not at this point in his career (he hit his peak with the chronic imo). maybe i should give 2001 another shot, though. with all of the discussion of this album i kinda want to!

Do it. It's the single most immaculate piece of hip-hop production ever made.

4:44 is Jay's best record in a long ass time, but as far as No ID goes the production on Summertime '06 is way better

Xfd when did I ever say I'm Christian?

When you were all "oh nooooo I'm going to hell because I paid for an abortion"

Nah I never thought I was going to hell, just felt bad about it.

Though now I realize it was the greatest decision of my life and I would murder 100 babies to continue the lifestyle I am living now.

I used to think I knew the biggest sociopath. He would ask women about her exes, then he'd act like he was friends with the exes while he'd look them up on FB and pick apart whatever infomation they made public like that's how they knew each other. He would also take their phones and text their exes about their sexual positions from her phone. If these exes resisted on this, he would threaten to hit these women (which he had a history of) and tell her parents they were fucking.

Donald may have somehow beaten that, I dunno -- it's hard to compare perfectly, but it's gross as hell and it reminds me of this other guy who happened to be a huge Donald supporter too.

All that said, I hope at least one of these couples will speak up. This needs some confirmation, no matter how much I believe it.

I'm voting for Trump in 2020 if this is true.
