@Pherick: sorry. as I said, I am an Australian, here we have a social-safety net that is rampantly abused my, mmmmm, (not sure how what word to use here as we use slang to describe them) For Example, a single mother of 2 kids at school gets $1200 a fortnight from the govt to stay home and look after them. People make a career out of fleecing the gov for cash. Girls get pregnant so they don't have to get a job. Instead of being a "Saftey-net" it has become and entitlement.
There are things about the US that leave me gob-smacked. Like your minimum wages is pathetic, no universal health care! How many of your citizens are in the poverty trap, working hard and getting low paid jobs, but can't get to a doctor if they are sick. I go to the Philippines regularly, it is the same there.
Minority groups need to be treated with respect, but not molly-coddled. There is a case here where a gay guy got randomly handed a pink cup-cake at morning tea. He took offense, didn't say anything to the lady who gave it to him, but reported her for harassment. WTF Almost ruined her career. Now that Govt dept has to run special courses on how to be sensitive to LGBIT feelings.
All human beings are people, and deserve to be treated with respect. But some times the minority groups just want to much and contribute to little.
PS: As an observer, I do not like Trump, nor did I like Clinton. A country with so many 100s of millions, surely you can find better people to be president?
