    I feel like any campaign about that should be as simple as, “If you see someone shitting on the street, feel free to go beat the fuck out of them.”

    I mean, Nancy is the one rep I would trust on this issue. San Francisco knows their soft serve.

    I saw an Indian trick driving team at a truck stop in Texas. It looked and smelled like they cut a hole in the floor of their sleeper cab to shit while going down the interstate

    Several of the trains I was on in SE Asia - and not some sketchy bit of railway between jungle outposts, but regular routes leaving major cities like Bangkok or Ho Chi Minh City - had a toilet where it was just a hole in the bottom of the rail car. Straight through to the tracks. The only concession they made to sanitation was that they closed the bathrooms a few minutes before and after they arrived at the destinations. So, you know, you weren't shitting in the heart of the city where the businesses were, but more on the outskirts where most people lived.

    The waters surrounding St Martin are a pristine clear blue. The waters in the Simpson Bay, the lagoon where many people live aboard derelict boats and transients come to check in and get services, is a disgusting brown. It's normal to see a layer of macerated shit and TP floating around. In the catamaran, you could see big fish through the escape hatches in each hull, they're waiting next to the waste thru-hull for someone to pump out a turd for it to eat. There are people that scuba in that bay for a living. I couldn't imagine doing it.

    I have to say, US pollution laws do help our waterways and lands, even though it doesn't look like it sometimes. Many, many countries are absolute cess pools.

    Indonesia is a perfect example. Was a paradise not long ago and call. Since the Muslim rule there they have rivers literally made out of garbage. And it’s not a “Oh these are a couple of photos you saw on CNN” no, they have rivers literally made of shit and garbage now. It’s a fucking disgrace.

    The mid-80’s L.A. smog is all the evidence anybody needs on how bad pollution is, and how real and gross it is. The sky was yellow in 1983 SoCal. Yellow.

    You really need to either edit your posts, or type more carefully.
    I had to read that a couple of times to understand what you were saying.

    A better solution would be stop making spurious ad hominem statements.

    Islam has been the dominate religion in Indonesia since the 16th century (currently ~83% of the population), however Indonesia is a constitutionally a secular state.

    Well the Islamic majority really took over in 1945 and since then it has increasingly gone downhill, not unlike Detroit according to my family friends who lived there since the 1960’s. Match that to their arcane and medieval drug laws along some of the highest cancer rates on earth. But I’m sure that nothing has to do with anything, as always.

    Ok this is fully cuckoo bananas. There are about a million reasons why Detroit is fucked but this is not one of them.

    I didn’t give the reason why Detroit is fucked. I am talking about the decline. Detroit is fucked because it depended entirely in the boom of the automotive industry, the most unpredictable manufacturing industry that existed until computers. The butterfly effect soon followed.

    It definitely sounded like you were implicating the Islamic population in Detroit. Good job picking the rust belt city with the largest middle eastern population in your example.

    Also, the Nation Of Islam was indeed founded in Detroit.

    I didn't really take it that way myself... I took it to be just a rapid decline from what it used to be.

    I left Indonesia in 2012, and the worst contributor to pollution in Bali and a few of the touristy islands (and Surabaya) is....tourists. Java has it's own set of issues, but in my travels there I never got a hint of how or why the world's largest Muslim population, going back centuries would impact the culture's pollution. That said, the corruption was pretty fucking outrageous, but....no worse than some of the other places I've been.

    The biggest issue I saw that had anything remotely to do with Islam was the prevalence of sex trafficking and prostitution, a sliver of which focused on "marriages" to rich foreigners who could only "marry" and consumate said union with a virgin, and then "divorce" days later as they departed. For my money, the dirt poor Indonesians who do this are far better than the foreign (typically ME) cunts who justify it, perpetrate it and pretend it's moral within the Muslim religion.

    I know Tulsi Gabbard's reputation is basically dead and buried at this point, but if there was any piece of it left, she went ahead and endorsed Kari Lake for governor. Tulsi stans were always pretty dumb, but Tulsi these days acts like her audience is entirely braindead.
