Man, some of those hit the mark so hard it made the public squirm (e.g. the book-burning with Michelle Bachmann, and the Gallop wallop).

Jennifer Lawrence being as awesome as always

If the US wasn't so steeped in immature, hypocritical puritanism, the fact that two adults did sexy things in the WH would be a "thing" only between Bill, his wife and the intern (except if she was coerced/sexually assaulted, a different thing entirely). Instead, Bill felt he had to lie, and that's what most sensible people hold against him.

They left getting his dick sucked by a 21 year old intern in the oval office off the list of his accomplishments. Also, cigar-fucking a 21 year old intern.

If "Heterophobia" Were Real

hpqp says...

Are you seriously trying to suggest that those who "only" think being gay is wrong ("love the sinner hate the sin" Bible BS) are not part of the problem? Because you couldn't be more wrong. The long-lasting poison of being made to feel like who you are is "wrong" by your family, friends, society, etc. is often much more devastating than the full-blown hatred that bubbles up and takes its force from that "moderate" majority.

It's funny because people think because you think being gay is wrong, that you hate gays. This video demonstrates that idea quite clearly.

I Am Not A Bum

Good point, and I love your freudian typo, "legal and legal immigrants" (if you have a link to the doc...). The problem of homeless immigrants here is a complicated one: there are shelters for asylum-seekers but they a) are not numerous enough to keep up with the growing influx, b) try to prioritize women/children, c) have trouble with interethnic squabbles (which can grow to full-fledged knife-fights, thank FSM we don't have guns in easy circulation), d) have to deal with the profiteers/criminals giving them a bad rep.
In addition to this, those who have been denied permission to stay are less likely to show up at state-run shelters where they are liable to be found out and escorted out (of the country). Finally, criminal tourism* in Europe (especially the richer countries, like CH) is a real problem, one the US does not experience.

*a huge topic of its own, but some examples in CH are French car-thieves, Romanian mafia-organised begging/breaking-and-entering (often using children so as not to get penalised), North African drug-dealing (the hard stuff), etc. None of these make it easier for the population to be more accepting of the vast majority of non-criminal foreigners from these parts, because it is as usual the criminals who are the most visible.

@hpqp I completely agree with what you were saying but I know that I have seen a documentary recently about the problems of homelessness in Switzerland. IIRC it is not driven by mental illness but rather the attitudes of the government and the society towards immigrants both legal and legal from southern Europe and northern Africa. You fully acknowledged that Swiss society was not perfect, but i thought it interesting to raise a counterpoint to how empathetic the Swiss are towards some sectors of their society while turning a blind eye to others.
