Good news, in China you don't need to speak the language or anything. Computer translation makes learning Chinese a quaint oddity. Moreover in Beijing you can live quite comfortably inside foreign enclaves. Much like Chinese in America live among their own people and never mix with the locals. It's easy, just spend your time browsing facebook, playing Xbox and watching Netflix. Just like life back home.
That's true for every single country on the planet except America. You can live in France for 40 years, does that make you a Frenchman? If you live in Iran for 40 years, do you become Persian? And yet you live in Somalia your entire life, come to America and immediately granted refugee citizenship, bam you're American and anyone who says otherwise is a xenophobic racist America First asshole.
China has a green card program. You were misinformed. Maybe you thought that just because you had a temporary job that you could stay there for the rest of your life? No. You teach Chinese people how to do your job, afterwards why does China need you? Try to think logically.
Trump won because of his appeals to racism and sexism, and his vicious misogynistic lies about Hillary Clinton. He won because a large percentage of the country is hateful and does not share progressive values.
You can't persuade them, because they're racists, and racism is an irrational feeling. Instead, you fight them, by mocking them, and trying to turn out your own base. We give up on any attempt to actually appeal to Trump voters' concerns and interests, since racism is not an interest worth appealing to. Who could support people who voluntarily vote for the KKK's preferred candidate?
They laughed at the Nazis in 1928, the man with the funny moustache and his gang of silly brown-shirted thugs. They weren't laughing so much in 1933. Things could be the same when it comes to the man with the funny hair and the orange face. Hah... Hah... Hah... Oh shit. We know Donald Trump is a man without a conscience. Yet we have just handed him near absolute power (in part enabled by the joint Democratic/Republican expansion of executive branch authority over the years). For all we know, there could be death camps on the horizon.
Trump inspires people by appealing to their nastiest, most inhuman and unneighborly instincts. This is why he won.
So if there had been some kind of Parents Advisory Council telling you to turn down the volume of your Megadeth, you'd have listened? Gimme a break, that wouldn't have happened. Meekly obeying authority figures? Shah right. "If it's too loud, you're too old" was the heavy metal motto.
My, cherry picking data to support a pre-existing conclusion? Where did anyone get that idea? Oh, right the mainstream media uses this tactic all the time.
If we were only as skeptic and hostile towards the MSM as we were towards alternative media and citizen journalists. The MSM is frightened as it has never been frightened before. People are reading the news without their hostile filter and it's a scary new world out there. What's the point of being a journalist if you can't bias reality in the guise of "providing context"? They went to J-school to change the world, not to be some kind of impartial fact recorder, like a baseball umpire calling balls and strikes.
"Media which got everything wrong will now tell you all the things that will happen as a result of the thing they said wouldn't happen."
Accidentally? Where do you even get that? It's not accidental. It's a logo of "boy love". From the FBI:
Pedophiles who sexually abuse children as well as those who produce, distribute, and trade child pornography, are using various types of identification logos or symbols to recognize one another and distinguish their sexual preferences.
That's all anyone wants, an investigation. If there's nothing there, then nobody will find anything. Judge for yourself, that's all everyone has to do. Absolutely DO NOT trust the media when they are telling you to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I mean, come on, look who's getting blamed for the incident - the crazy guy, or the people pushing the investigation! Use your brain! If there was nothing there they wouldn't be making such large efforts to suppress it!
The guy is screaming for the investigation to stop. This narrative is being forwarded by the same people who brought you the fake news about the election. Who do you trust? The gatekeepers that we know for a fact are corrupt, or a bunch of independent investigators? It's one thing if the investigation turns up nothing. But it is entirely another to shriek and demand that the investigation stop, and attack the investigators. It was the "crazies from the internet" who took down Michelle Fields and her lies. Nobody is telling you to believe a crazy conspiracy theory. Just read for yourself, make your own decisions, come to your own conclusions. Don't trust the gatekeepers, they don't deserve your trust. We're in a new era of real citizen journalism and the media is scared shitless.
"The whole idea from the start was to build a site that could kind of infiltrate the echo chambers of the alt-right, publish blatantly fictional stories and then be able to publicly denounce those stories and point out the fact that they were fiction," Coler says.
And as the stories spread, Coler makes money from the ads on his websites. He wouldn't give exact figures, but he says stories about other fake news proprietors making between $10,000 and $30,000 a month apply to him.
Next comes a GPS fence, an area you're not allowed to leave without triggering an alarm. People will learn just to turn off their phones, so power loss will trigger an alarm too. The benefit of the doubt will be removed and suspicion will be default.
After that comes the phone that can't be turned off. People will learn to leave their phones behind, so after that comes the phone integrated into the body. At that point it won't even be called a phone any more.
Mission creep will kill any organization. The NRA does what it can, but expecting a panacea is just unrealistic. They can't go after every pet cause of the Left.
Wow, a European showing up to point out what's wrong with America. Thanks! Where would we be without you people? If we didn't have your constant sniping and criticism, we'd be lost in a sea of positivity! Thanks again for telling us how we're wrong. It means so much, especially coming from a European.
It's a joke. Laugh. Another nail in the coffin for the humorlessness of the Left - as long as it involves them as the butt of the joke. They're perfectly OK ridiculing the fuck out of everyone else, up to and including the point of cruelty. Most recently Rosie O'Donnell ridiculing Trump's son. How low do you have to go?
Well, the Left and the Democrats have only themselves to blame. We all know this, right? Voting for Trump was the last, desperate move of ordinary Americans whose backs were up against the wall. Hillary promised open borders, Trans-Pacific Partnership, more free trade, more H1Bs, more exporting of jobs, and everything the heartless globalist political class wanted. They were going to stick it to America and they were going to make it HURT. On November 8th Americans' vision of America was going to die, Painfully.
And why shouldn't they vote for Trump, anyway? Hillary was already a 93%, 98% favorite. At this point, what difference does it make? Go down in flames, with a protest vote. And then he won, go figure.
If you want to know how we ended up like this, please watch this video: "President Trump: How & Why...". It is a must-view for people exactly like you for how the level of political discourse got so low. It's by a leftist, so you know he's telling the truth and has been fact-checked. It's really sad what he's saying and it is all 100% true. Never forget this: Trump is all your fault. If you had just been understanding and wanted to do what was right for Americans, this would never have happened. It's going to be a long eight years and hopefully during that time you will discover compassion for your countrymen, but I doubt it.
Trump won the popular vote in 3,084 out of 3,141 counties. In those 3,084 counties, Trump had nearly 8 million more popular votes than Crooked Hillary. But you would rather have five megacities choose our President than allow all of us to have a say in the election.
In Alan Turing's time, homosexuality and other gender/sexual "differences" were considered to be a deviant social choice, rather than an innate biological difference. Thus, such behaviors were socially shamed, criminalized, and treated as a mental illness. When the social engineering and therapy did not work to deter such behavior, however, society slowly learned that such individuals were indeed "born that way". Thus, a period of advocacy for tolerance began...and still continues today.
The irony is that we did not seem to fully learn from those lessons. The pendulum has just gone in the other direction. Thus, in our time, being a heterosexual and masculine male is now considered to be a deviant social choice. As a result, we are seeing such heterosexual and masculine behavior increasingly being socially shamed, criminalized, and treated as a mental illness. Much like other gender/sexual orientations, however, such social engineering, punishment, and propaganda are not having a significant effect on male masculine and heterosexual behavior either. The reason being, that such men are indeed "born that way" too.
immigrants from terrorists nations are incredibly well vetted.
So, are you living in Bizarro World where an Islamic terrorist didn't just drive a car through a crowd of people, come out slicing, and get drilled between the eyes by an alert policeman? How do you even make statements like this?
Why would any of those voters even need to come out? The media told them it was a lock for Hillary. 93%, 98% chance, so why go and stand in line for 5 hours? Oh, and isn't it racist to call them "terrorist nations"? WTF? Why is it suddenly OK when you use such horrid language, but anyone else says it gets banned?
Of course the CCP is acting in the interests of the whole people. It's not like there are campaign contributions, corporate thieves, and the other negatives of dumbocracy. It's just the smartest people in society, free from distractions, calmly making decisions for the people. That's what this social score is, it's a way to encourage virtue among the people. You're just insufficiently pro-Big Government so it looks weird to you. Trust me, the New York Times wouldn't have praised the Chinese system if it wasn't a good idea. Dumbocracy's time is done, Trump has showed that. Bravely into the future, comrades!
CNN: You did use the word debase in the piece. Is that a word that Rowanne used used or that the women you spoke to used?
Twohey: So we heard a variety ofâ¦I meanâ¦.theâ¦theâ¦descriptions of Rowanee was one of many voicesâ¦.We really value the fact thatâ¦and I think that one of the things youâ(TM)ll see is thatâ¦
This is what a liar sounds like. You need more? Because there were plenty more during this election season. Remember how the DNC was exposed as paying for thugs to go and start violence at Trump rallies? Or how Michelle Fields lied about Corey Lewandowski? I can go on and on, there was tons of this stuff and the whole world saw it.
Well, the Left and the Democrats have only themselves to blame. We all know this, right? Voting for Trump was the last, desperate move of ordinary Americans whose backs were up against the wall.

GoPro people like to think of themselves as heroes. It's being part of a brand, it's marking yourself as different when you walk down that trail with a camera sticking off your forehead. They feel special, and that's a very important feeling.
Documenting yourself doing an activity is more important than actually doing the activity. Witness the sea of phones recording at concerts.
You can get a GoPro clone like the SJCam SJ4000 for less than a hundred bucks. Most people can't tell the difference in the footage.
This is nothing but big government doing what it does best - helping its people. Instead of allowing the people to make their own decisions, it is making the correct decisions for them. And why not? The smartest people run the Chinese government. You can't be any geek off the street and join the Communist Party. You have to be smart and capable, and only the cream rises to the top. Why shouldn't these people be able to run society? I see people on Slashdot all the time bemoaning how stupid people ruin everything. See: Donald Trump voters. Things would be SO much better if we smart people just had to power to change things.
Isn't eliminating negative outcomes and ensuring positive outcomes one of the major arguments in favor of big government? This is what China is doing. Oh, it eliminates personal freedom? The personal freedom that Chinese people never had at any point in history? You mean "freedumb". Because people who bitch and moan about freedom all the time are precisely the ones who make such consistently wrong decisions. Why shouldn't the government step in and help them? Isn't that why we established governments in the first place?

Seriously, go and read the memo. Accidental? Where do you come up with this shit? I mean, in the absence of other evidence it might be nothing, but when Podesta himself has an artsy, sterile bedroom with children's stuffed animals in it, more investigation is called for. He's childless, by the way. What kind of grown man keeps stuffed animals in his bedroom? Much less a top-level political operative?
That's all anyone wants, an investigation. If there's nothing there, then nobody will find anything. Judge for yourself, that's all everyone has to do. Absolutely DO NOT trust the media when they are telling you to pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
I mean, come on, look who's getting blamed for the incident - the crazy guy, or the people pushing the investigation! Use your brain! If there was nothing there they wouldn't be making such large efforts to suppress it!
Besta Pizza's logo was one well-known to the FBI as a pedo symbol. If it wasn't incriminating, then why did they change it when it was exposed? Here's the same symbol on the The Elpida part of the Ratcliffe Foundation's website: all the way at the bottom row, first photo, the wall mural. Archived here for when it gets deleted - and why would it ever get deleted if it's not incriminating? Clearly a pedo symbol, aka "BL" aka "Boy Lover" according to the FBI. The art in Podesta's house is super-creepy and definitely pedo. See that gold one of the man bent over backwards? That's a recreation of a photo that a serial killer took after he beheaded his victim. More importantly, powerful people are telling you not to pay any attention. What should you do when this happens?
The guy is screaming for the investigation to stop. This narrative is being forwarded by the same people who brought you the fake news about the election. Who do you trust?
