You are welcome to your opinions but you are not welcome to make up your own facts. The executive order (full text) from President Trump banned ALL citizens from 7 countries on a 90 day basis. The order does not target ethnic groups in any manner. The order excludes "those foreign nationals traveling on diplomatic visas, North Atlantic Treaty Organization visas, C-2 visas for travel to the United Nations, and G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4 visas."
That's all he ever does. Let's review the evidence of Nine Ender's complaints indicating snowflake status. My favorite all-time Nine_ender thread They're all bigots! Bigots, I tell you! Another "I'm leaving this place" Nine_ender's quest to get Tgregg removed Part 2 More whining about racism Nine_ender claims to not be "left leaning" at all (oh, and we're all racist) and the final hilarity, six pages of posts on the word "racist" alone (cut and paste link) https://www.elitetrader.com/et/search/6157946/?q=racist&o=date&c[user][0]=190815
I haven't laughed that hard since seeing this thread about a Canadian blowing a $2.5 miilion inheritace.... https://www.elitetrader.com/et/thre...-shares-to-fall-after-earnings-report.306399/
My source was an editorial in the Toronto Star; apparently they misstated the actual content of the order, so that aspect on my post was wrong. Trump's intent, however, appears real, to target certain ethnic groups. It might be noted that in 40 years not one death in the US was due to a terrorist act from anyone immigrating from those 7 countries. Meanwhile, a right wing fanatic in Quebec City who was a big fan of Trump decided to shoot up a Muslim gathering. While Trump can't be blamed for the act of a lone wolf delusional person, the aura of xenophobia and sometimes hate eminating from the US political scene these days is not healthy. Nor is the hatred existing online on this site and no doubt many others.
How about the hatred and violence seen in the US since the election? Mobs trying to disrupt the Inauguration? Attacking people physically for the crime of being Trump supporters? Shutting down airports, blocking road and bridges with no thought to what emergency vehicle they may be impeding? Unlike the supposed hate crimes against muslims, etc, these are real and documented.
Nine, you are aghast that Trump put a temporary hold on immigration from seven countries and refugee resettlement. Are you prepared to accept those refugees into Canada? How about allowing in hundreds of thousands of Africans and middle easterners with no money and no skills, other than crime?
And yet here I am calling out your shit. The racism and hatred in the P&R is real. You can try to deflect from this or call me meaningless names, and I don't fucking care. It's a juvenile and petty approach you and some others take on here. I actually put you on ignore for the 2+ years. But I saw your nonsense and decided to respond. While some of you try your hardest to make fun of me, I have been clear that the US social and financial issues since 2008 are quite interesting to me. It's satisfying to see a bunch of arrogant, self righteous pricks deal with some new hardships. The whining on here is constant, blaming Muslims and blacks and leftists and whatever for every single woe in your country. A country of "snowflakes" I guess these days, if I want to wallow in your bs way to talk about things. Yes, I got fed up in the past. It's a cesspool at times, the stupidity is unreal. I don't care anymore about your precious sensibilities. You claim you live in a great country but have to arm yourself all day to feel safe; your company knows enough that it can't trust you to do the same at work. Crime rates in the US are massive for a supposedly civil, mature first world country. The level of US conflict ( as further witnessed by how people talk on the P&R ) is off the charts. Trump is merely a result of how far down the rabbit hole you've gone as a country. How pathetic it is that you'd rather try to demonize me with labels and nitpik at details in posts then truly debate what the fascist Trump may do to your country. When you disrespect Muslims or any other people, you create an unhealthy environment in your country. But the P&R is such an environment, so I may be trying to reason with those cannot fathom why this matters.
You mean the guy that conned the internet world with his demo account activity ? Guess he fooled you too ( hint - it's not real ).
