Private Speech posted:To be fair it's harder to get into the US from outside the Americas, and the US acts like complete bastards to a lot of de-facto refugees from South/Latin America. Your numbers don't add up. The US more than accepts twice as many Somilian refugees than Sweden does for example. The U.S. Somalian refugees are just as unskilled when they come here as the ones in Sweden. So your point on the "quality" of the refugees also doesn't add up. What does Japan have to do with anything?

US also has orders of magnitude more people. Also it's not my point about the quality of refugees, that was some other guy, probably trolling or a right wing tosser (that said he's maybe just barely got a point in that US does quite a bit of vetting plus the difficulty to get there excludes a bunch of people) Private Speech fucked around with this message at 21:26 on May 13, 2017 |

Though it is really quite astonishing, I had no idea that the US, a nation of 350 million, has taken almost more than twice the amount of refugees than sweden, a nation of 10 million. Those selfish racist swedes... and theyr making them unemployed to boot! It's a loving travesty.

Even funnier US actually accepted about 20% fewer refugees than Sweden total in 2016!!!! (84-loving-thousand, and not this is not per capita in any way) (specifically 84 994)  And then there's this delightful snippet about American refugee policy quote:Every year, the president tells the State Department how many refugees will be allowed from each region. 2017 is the highest level ever set for refugees from the Near East and South Asia since the program began in 1980. America land of opportunity for the war-torn everyone! (the cap was 85 000 (that is for the whole world, it's broken up by regions too) if anyone is wondering) EU ended up with, what, 1 million or so in 2015. I mean it's basically the same innit. loving hell I knew the US were cunts about this but I didn't expect it to be anywhere this bad.

(84-loving-thousand, and not this is not per capita in any way) (specifically 84 994) Thanks obama! Seriously though, I'm starting to get the feeling that the US as a state doesn't actually care much about anything but their own economic advantage when it comes to global misery. Maybe statue of liberty should be provided with an annotation plaque for inform us of the precice legal definitions for the tired, the poor and huddled masses. Sumthin lik eanybody reading it is by definition none of those things, and the lights of the liberties are considerable different from what they expected. Amd also to get a loving job a lazy rear end mamu, you're not in sweden anymore where severe psychological trauma or a missing limb might get you a free pass

Flowers For Algeria posted:Yeah France has this in the bag Talking about Eurovision? But France has a proud tradition of making sure not to win since whenever it was that they had the bird and the child. (And honestly, what's the point of winning anyway? I mean you have to pay for next year, and in these times of rigorous austerity, how can you justify such a frivolous expense?)

I'm glad Portugal won with a song in Portuguese. For something where the slogan was "celebrate diversity" it was a bit disappointing that 22 out of the 26 songs were in English. Congrats to Belarus, Hungary, and Italy.
