Trump was right...literally
American Thinker.com ^ | January 13, 2018 | Michael Filozof

Posted on 01/13/2018 11:03:16 AM PST by Kaslin

When President Trump asked why the U.S. should accept immigrants from third-world nations he allegedly characterized as "s-holes," liberals (and some neo-conservatives) howled with outrage, branding the president a bigot and a racist.

But...was Mr. Trump right? Perhaps far more than his opponents would like to admit. Don't take my word for it – take the word of the liberal, globalist United Nations, which celebrated its annual "World Toilet Day" and named its "Toilet Heroes" last November 19.

Here are a few interesting statistics, straight from the U.N.:

- Around 60% of the global population – 4.5 billion people – have either no toilet at home or one that doesn't safely manage excreta.

-862 million people worldwide still practi[c]e open defecation.

- 1.8 billion people use an unimproved source of drinking water with no protection against contamination from [feces].

- Globally, 80% of the wastewater generated by society flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused.

- Only 39% of the global population (2.9 billion people) use a safely[] managed sanitation service [–] that is, excreta safely disposed of in situ or treated off-site.

- Combined with safe water and good hygiene, improved sanitation could prevent around 842,000 deaths each year.

immigration rule 1: If your country does not have a municipal water and sewer system you need not apply.

The Romans had sewer systems several thousand years ago.

No public water sewer is a marker for people who will only vote for democrats.

We got enough of them here now.

The UN should start a Zagat-style travel guide with reviews based on how sh**ty each nation is.

Haiti is sure to win a 5 turd designation.

Is that a map of all the open defecation sites in San Fran?

I’ll bet the city has signage for them, just like bicycle lanes.

How many America citizens even know how a sanitation system works, ie, what happen when you flush the toilet?
It’s a thin line between these sh*tholes and many American cities.

I remember my family visited Mexico with my family back in the eighties. My dad was frustrated and he said what the f is wrong with this country? They do not have drinking tap water from sea to shining sea!

30 years later, and it still does not.

I went to Mongolia a little over a year ago. It is a beautiful country... but, outside of the city, no toilet facilities. Most people have a pit with boards over it for facilities (and it is as disgusting as it sounds). And out in the desert, it’s hard to even find a bush for privacy.

I read an article soon after my visit to Mongolia. The Mongolian government is trying to encourage more tourism—up to 2 million a year by 2020, I think was the goal. One of the issues they are facing is that the lack of toilet facilities outside of the city is the top complaint that tourists to Mongolia have.

Airports in Asia have signs telling people not to stand on the commode. I surmise that because many people in Asia do not have toilets, they do not know how to use one—and so must be instructed not to balance on it and squat.

Eric Cartman summed it up best....

Eric Cartman: Oh my God, it smells like ass out here.

Miss Stevens: All right, that does it. Eric Cartman, you respect other cultures this instant.

Eric Cartman: I wasn’t saying anything about their culture, I was just saying their city smells like ass.

Miss Stevens: You may think that making fun of third-world countries is funny but let me...

Eric Cartman: I don’t think it’s funny. This place is overcrowded, smelly and poor. That’s not funny, that sucks.

= = = = = = = = = = =
They go along with the same idiots that think the stuff in the stores just appears there....
The same ones that Biatch&Moan over the ‘big bully trucks’ on the highway that should be banned from Interstates.
We all know that the Interstates were built to make your vacation easier....
Good part of these younguns leave home for college at 18 or so and still haven’t figured out where that TP comes from or how it gets on that spindle.
Electricity and clothes are God given rights that just appear in the closet OR someone else buys them for them.

Two things need to be done.

First be more like Switzerland....EVERYONE spends a summer in ‘Boot Camp’, learning to somewhat survive on your own and learn how to handle a weapon properly.

Then we need a Congressman/Senator to insist we drop ALL our immigration rules/laws and adapt MEXICO’s, right down to the last semi colon.
Then stringently enforce them
AFTER
WE ‘force’ the illegals out of the country by cutting off ALL freebies. MAYBE work something out with those that are self supporting and put them on a ‘track’ to green card etc BUT get in line BEHIND the ones applying as the law says.
(They and their family can learn English while in possession of their work papers)

If it ever becomes necessary to blockade our Democrat concentration camps, add shutting off the sewers to the to-do list.

You know it’s bad when your city has an app for sidewalk crap sites.

The UN who denounced Trump as a racist for calling some countries shitholes. The UN should immediately move to Gambia the historical slave capital of the world. They would then prove they aren’t racist and African countries aren’t shitholes.

Many places in Asia have safe water and waste disposal, but the toilets are the open hole in the tiled floor. Clean and safe, just not the toilet fixture. (Probably is a more natural body position as well for taking a dump.) But yes - if you are used to squatting over a hole, you would probably think you needed to somehow squat on a toilet.

I always wondered why they have signs for the “no standing” - but then assume they know what the toilet paper is for. All of the places that just have the holes just have a hose for washing it down - and for washing your hands afterwards (no toilet paper - so bring your own!!!)

I was surprised to see it in a restaurant's bathroom in Northern Italy. Me? I prefer the toilet!

Interesting article on the percentages. Here in Seattle we are spending millions (billions?) on rainwater overflow retention. Rarely we will get enough rain at one time, and the sewage treatment facilities can't handle it and dumps it into Puget Sound. So this once every two year type of occurrence is costing a lot. Meanwhile, Vancouver, B.C. on the north end of Puget Sound does not even have a waste treatment facility and dumps their raw sewage into the Sound!
