After reading here, I'm very glad i'm for a country with 5 mil inhabitants that nobody takes serious.

At least the country got about 1,5 to 2 trillion $ stashed away for future use. Think my pension is salvaged.

Good point!

I am living in impoverished country, in a small part of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (which ''between 1960 and 1980 had one of the most vigorous growth rates in the world''), but we still have free medical care and obligated education (in Yugoslavia we had free education at all levels), children do not work but go to school, one-month vacation with pay for workpeople, pension insurance, equal pay for men and women for the same type of work... Salaries are poor now, compared with the West, but still good enough for our conditions and prices...

But, Chaul and others like him, knows better!

We know better! Keep the people wanting more and milk it all!

If Trump gets the presidency, I'm afraid it will just prove to the world, yet again, that any idiot can get elected : he is a comedy figure, a buffoon, a populist, who tailors his position on any subject to what he thinks his audience wants to hear regardless of what he has just told the last one. It's a sad day when the prime candidate to rule the most militarily powerful nation on the Earth makes GWB2 look smart and sophisticated : which is where the danger lies, for Trump will, like GWB2, be a creature of his 'advisors' : as they ran Bush, so some other grey-suited beasts will run Trump : and, folks, you wont get to vote for them. But he will say the 'right thing' in press conferences, and whip up outrage in the media : but he will not be making the decisions any more than Obama has. 'Hail to the Chief' indeed.

I don't want either of the candidates to be elected- perhaps Danik and his donkeys can storm Capital Hill?

We did.. but alas, in the real world is not as easy as it is in Avonmora... but hey, we got full employment to look forward too when Trumpet forces us to build that wall : maybe we will take a leaf out of the Israeli play-book and build it on the USA's side of the river... wonder if his advisors have mentioned the billions in USA investment in cheap-labor factories in Mexico, based on the fact importing the products into the USA is so easy and cheap from Mexico? What if we dont put any doorways in the wall?

there will be a fusion transporter that detects your capability to fit into american society, based on the parameters of english efficiency, work ethic, and how you prepare your salsa

I quote the Mexican politician who, when asked about Trump's wall replied 'He can f**k off' : I do think it would be hilarious if Mexico applied the same rules to US citizens heading south : maybe Canada could join in, demanding proficiency in French and log-rolling : actually, I think it would be a splendid lesson for all if every nation imposed on USA travellers the same restrictions currently in place for those wishing to travel to the States. When born-again christians are put on watch-lists and forbidden to over-fly any islamic airspace : maybe $200 visa application fees and personal interviews as well : just in the interests of fairity, of course..

of course, everyone should be equal. except incestuous siblings. and polygamists. and developing countries. and pirates.

voting doesn't matter here in Kansas really. I'm pretty sure Trump will win Kansas. The only time the majority of Kansas voted for a democrat was FDR in 1932. But as for the current candidates, I don't like any of them really. i think I'm just gonna remain neutral. i just hope whoever is elected doesn't do anything too stupid.
