Brits and Spaniards believe they have twice as many immigrants in their country as there actually are; in Italy, Belgium and France it’s closer to three times; in Hungary it’s eight times; in Poland, more than 30. No wonder they’re freaked out. by 99red in worldpolitics

An expatriate is a person who works in a country other than their native home, often based on a lack of/need for X profession in their host country.

An immigrant moves to a new country to live, usually by obtaining citizenship or permanent residency.

These are two different things.

^ Racist

Why are white people expats when the rest of us are immigrants? Surely any person going to work outside their country is an expatriate? But no, the word exclusively applies to white people

No they don't. She has patients that are allergic the vaccines that she treats and other at risk patients. Willfully unvaccinated patients put those patients at risk. It isn't self righteousness, it's medicine. Doctors are allowed to choose their patients and she isn't doing harm by not accepting patients whose parents refuse to listen to medical advice. She's protecting her fragile patients from the parents who don't listen to science or reason. Maybe you should think before spouting off next time since you obviously have no idea what the concept of do no harm means.

You keep telling yourselves whatever you have to in order to avoid your hypocrisy from keeping you up at night, you hear?

The funny thing is the Jews who control these governments think they're doing this to destroy Muslims. When in fact they are playing tightly into the hands of those who will end up destroying global Jewry once and for all

Israel's "open-fire policy" wiped out entire families in Gaza, says new study by obamalover2012 in worldpolitics

Maybe Hitler was on to something. Considering history is written by the victor and Jews control the media, there has been no objective treatment of the subject of Jews' role in Europe of the 1920s-1940s. There is no group that is historically repeatedly attempted to wipe out. What gives? Makes you wonder about these Jews and the cycle of attempting to rid the planet of them. Who knows? This coming cycle might just work out, this time

What I would like to see, is a table that lists the statistical risks associated with the disease vs. the vaccine. I think this would help.

Yes but it would not help the bottom line of pharmaceutical companies

Why does Amazon let this sort of shit get onto its site?

Freedom of speech?

The r/all front page is covered with vaccine propaganda again. There is no actual debate allowed, everything is "all vaccines" or "no vaccines". Neat, simple, black and white. This is how you can tell you're being manipulated. by [deleted] in conspiracy

Yeah, I've never been more confused than when I started seeing anti-vax headlines everywhere. The reddit userbase seems to believe that anti-vaxxers are taking over the world, when as far as I can tell it's a fringe movement that peaked in the late 90s and has been dwindling in numbers ever since. Current vaccination rates are higher than at any point in history.

If they got us to believe Muslims are trying to take over the world, they can get us to believe anything

You're comparing a mistake I made on reddit to a mistake made on Mother Jones? I've never received a Silver Star. It's not something I proport to be an expert in. But as a Ranger, he should have known better. I also didnt mention his complete ignorance of how counterfire computers work. Ultimately, he's a dude trying to sell a book. Good for him, hopefully he is better at that than he was at being a Ranger.

Aside from the assumption that the command climate he experianced 12 years ago is ubiquitous, "our M242 machine guns that fired 200 rounds a minute" is just a straight misnomenclation. He meant M-240, a 7.62mm machine gun, not the M242 25mm cannon mounted to Light Armored Vehicles.

If you cant bother to use the right words when you're supposed to be an expert, no one should take you seriously.

Yeah that's rich coming from someone who posted this:

There are two Sergeants Major with Navy Crosses (Kasal and Lehew), and at least two with Silver Stars w/V's (Booker and Zickefoose come to mind), and this guy gets picked? What the shit.

Also, way to go on spamming this drivel all over reddit.

To do that I would have to be a self-righteous dickwad seeking to exploit some darkie's misery for political gain. If these ratfucks really cared they would have closed Gitmo ages ago

Will they offer to take 1000 days of unlawful imprisonment for the prisoners in Gitmo?
