That entire family are nothing but a bunch of selfish pricks. Is this one of your "skittles" Donnie?
IMHO I would put a tad more responsibility on Assad. But that's just meDo you think Hillary is proud to have armed / started that war?
Are YOU?
"If I gave you a bowl of skittles and three of them were poison would you still eat them?"
"Are the other skittles human lives?"
"What?"
"Like. Is there a good chance. A really good chance. I would be saving someone from a war zone and probably their life if I ate a skittle?"
"Well sure. But the point-"
"I would eat the skittles."
"Ok-well the point is-"
"I would GORGE myself on skittles. I would eat every single fucking skittle I could find. I would STUFF myself with skittles. And when I found the poison skittle and died I would make sure to leave behind a legacy of children and of friends who also ate skittle after skittle until there were no skittles to be eaten. And each person who found the poison skittle we would weep for. We would weep for their loss, for their sacrifice, and for the fact that they did not let themselves succumb to fear but made the world a better place by eating skittles.
Because your REAL question...the one you hid behind a shitty little inaccurate, insensitive, dehumanizing racist little candy metaphor is, IS MY LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND TERRIFIED CHILDREN...
... and what kind of monster would think the answer to that question... is yes?"
I need to repost this because it needs to be said again. It needs to be said a thousand times.Regarding the Skittles question, I liked this response someone posted on Facebook:

Most likely not, given that the analogy in the tweet referenced a minority of refugees, but good job playing to imbecilic sympathies.

Feels like we are losing our compassion for our fellow humans.
If you dehumanize the "others" it makes it easier not to care, and to think nothing of their death.What I hate is that the skittles comparison gives millions of people a way out of caring about the war, feeling the need to help, or even to at least be shocked by it or even hope something can be done. Millions of people basically thinking "Oh, a couple refugees might be bad guys? OK, keep 'em out. Well now that I have that answered, where's the remote control for my TV?". Feels like we are losing our compassion for our fellow humans.
That's why ole Donnie equated the refugees to candy and the same time picking Skittles for a dog whistle to their peeps. Besides show empathy for any of those people in the Trump world would be too PCIf you dehumanize the "others" it makes it easier not to care, and to think nothing of their death.

I wonder were he alive in 1940 would he have blamed FDR for our assistance arming Britain.A fellow named Assad is the person you should be placing most of the blame on.

Sorry, but would you really be open to accepting literally every last person from a country with human rights issues? Like, if we could bring say 50 million North Africans and Middle-Easterners and sub-Saharan Africans here as quickly as possible, eliminating all restrictions against immigration, you'd be ok with that? There is a grey area between Sweden and Japan when it comes to immigration policy.
