[23:45] IsambardPrince Some countries have people that are poor but nice. [23:45] IsambardPrince Some have countries that are full of pirates and terrorists. [23:45] IsambardPrince Some are generally wealthy and well educated. [23:45] IsambardPrince You have all types. [23:46] IsambardPrince You don't want people coming to America from the pirates and terrorists countries, like Palestinians, Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, etc. [23:46] MinceR afaict they're all evil and practically interchangeable [23:46] IsambardPrince Or the criminal countries where they're not educated and will bring disease. [23:46] IsambardPrince Like Venezuela. [23:47] nobody there's a difference between migration and an invasion [23:47] IsambardPrince The US never had a huge problem with measles in my lifetime until the Venezuelans. [23:47] MinceR and the more similar their cults are to each other (like christianity and islam), the more i hear about how the other cult is the spawn of satan, unlike theirs [23:47] IsambardPrince First the media reported that it was incubating in the migrant shelters in Chicago. [23:47] IsambardPrince Because none of them were vaccinated. [23:47] IsambardPrince Then they put up measles warnings at the hospitals and doctor's offices. [23:47] IsambardPrince Then they censored it. [23:47] MinceR yeah, they all bring disease, unlike the holy local people who make sure everyone in the same vehicle gets a nice sample of all their pathogens [23:47] MinceR so wonderful. [23:48] IsambardPrince And acted like it came from nowhere, then it wasn't even happening at all. [23:48] nobody measles are common disease among children, it's not uncommon [23:49] nobody the symptoms could be more severe, with low standard of living [23:50] nobody and insufficient health-care [23:52] MinceR and even when the incompetent nazi government flip-flopped about what they believe masks do and made masks mandatory, the oh-so-clean local people made sure that at the very least they wore them in such a way that guarantees they won't protect others from being infected [23:52] MinceR yeah, we have so much to fear immigrants for [23:53] MinceR for a while, this shithole was world #1 in per capita deaths from COVID-19. [23:54] nobody MinceR: hungary? rather rephrase then hungary _reported_ #1 fatalities, while others might not have [23:54] nobody at least, orbanistan was honest about it then [23:54] nobody while others weren't [23:54] MinceR lol [23:54] MinceR sure [23:55] MinceR it's always the facts that are wrong [23:55] MinceR maybe they should have promoted internationally this wonderful method of reducing the spread of disease by making sure you cough and sneeze on everyone else's face [23:56] nobody well, you could only cough and sneeze what you ingested yourself before [23:56] IsambardPrince The doctor that handled my spouse's immigration medical exam was some old Russian guy. [23:57] IsambardPrince Seemed like sort of a box ticker. But we did need proof of immunizations. [23:57] IsambardPrince MinceR, Incompetent Nazi Government.... [23:57] IsambardPrince We're sort of new to that. [23:57] IsambardPrince How's it working for you? [23:57] MinceR yeah, of course, people always cough and sneeze for no reason [23:57] IsambardPrince :D [23:58] MinceR definitely not because they're carrying an airborne illness. [23:58] nobody i completey reduced cigarettes down to zero for two days now, no caughing [23:58] MinceR IsambardPrince: i think once germany and austria copy us, we're going to have a nice famine going.
