Shit, is there a Leopards Eating Faces community yet? If not, this would be a prime contender for the first post.
Hermain Caine has sealed GOAT leopard-face-eating status for all time, or at least as long as he continues posthumously tweeting.
Holy fuck. The ghouls who worked for him are still using his Twitter account? Lmao.
Color me shocked.

If you throw an exclamation mark in front of it people can use it as a link with most of the apps.
Aah I have such fond memories of that place
Me as well. Every day dealing with my mask at work hoping that I wouldn't be the small fraction of the population that still gets messed even vaxxed, then sitting down and scrolling through the long timeline of a goatee hat and sun glasses or religious-karen going from tough to vent.
Hot take: If leopards are only eating faces on one side of the political spectrum, maybe you need to consider that only one side is consistently voting for leopards eating faces.
I only know one guy in the hundreds of millions of dollars club (CEO and near sole owner of the corp I work for) and he is fairly leftwing. So I am going to nominate him. However, to be fair, even under some insane situation where the DNC had full power for several election cycles it isn't like there won't be rich people, there will be, they will just pay higher taxes. He isn't going to be on food stamps any time soon.
You keep saying that but don't post proof.
I call bullshit - Let's see a few examples of liberals/democrats getting their faces eaten by policies they support.
"Oh noes, this free college is hurting me" "Oh noes, all this free healthcare, my wallet is too fat"
Just to be obvious here, show me what laws liberals have actually been able to pass just how they championed for, and show me the face eating. I'm waiting.
Inb4 something about an immigrantl/minority/female committing a crime (cause liberals are so pro crime)
So the fuck what. It's almost as though humans shouldn't be predisposed to shit lives by arbitrary borders in places that western nations like America fueled their instability in the first place.
Perhaps not, but it would be nice if the wealthy shared their privilege with the less-fortunate, right? Last I checked Norway IS a Christian nation, after all... Would be awfully Jesus-like if they broke bread with their less-fortunate neighbors, now, wouldn't it? Of course I'm not saying the burden rests solely on Norway; rather it is a shared burden of the collective.
Free movement of people is the most basic of human rights, and the easiest to guarantee. Literally helps your economy instead of costing you anything.
I'd rather Gazans come live with me. More opportunity here in the US.
As long as everyone is doing their part. Once one person decides " we don't want others here" and starts human trafficking people to smaller states that don't have the money or infrastructure a available to support a massive influx, then it becomes problematic. Not because of the people, but because of the ass-jacket that is forcing people without access to winter clothing to a place that is -40f (during a religious holiday about an immigrant being born in a barn because the town had too many people, and no one kind enough to let them in...) and therefore people end up not having the services they need to thrive.
And this is the difference between you and me, as people.
I'll run and tell my Nigerian neighbor not to eat my face. He'll get a kick out of it.
Try to burn a Bible in many small towns in America, or most of Europe. Turns out when you're intentionally an asshole to a bunch of people about something they're passionate about, bad things can happen to you.
I don't support burning any books
This is meaningless.
Do you think I don't disagree with the religious preferences of some people? Because I do. They're still allowed to believe whatever they want.
They're a racist. That's the end of it. They've convinced themselves that such people are lesser people and not products of their environment that has largely been out of their control.
Out of all the fairy-tales of religion, it's my sincere hope that Karma and Reincarnation happen so that such people can be birthed into such circumstances they naively criticize to see for themselves. The racist to fill the shoes of a Syrian refugee, for instance.
With respect you don't have an understanding of the immigration rhetoric in America. If you did, you'd know that the conservatives are echo the exact same arguments you're making here.
Yes, broken people subject to war, poverty, and lack of education do tend to as a group be less stable. We all know that. That's the toll of regional instability and a price the world must pay to the piper.
The vast, vast majority assimilate quite effectively.
Sounds like Norway needs reforms more than these people need to stop coming.
Weird how the US has so many more Muslim immigrants than Norway does yet none of the problems.
It's also kind of bizarre that 3% of your population can break your entire system. Sounds like it was already broken and you just didn't realize it.
So much for your ancestors.
It's weird that you think this would scare me. Like do you not get that? That's the central conceit here - we fundamentally disagree on the idea "Muslims are scary"
Back in topic, in your own words, your system is a failure to what I see as basic human rights, so no, it didn't work perfectly.
If your culture cannot survive immigrants, your culture has no value. That's what a "war of ideas" is. That's why Iran and North Korea don't allow immigrants.
For clarity, I have said and will say again this exact same thing to every American who disagrees too. If some aspect of "being American" cannot survive immigration, then it doesn't deserve to exist.
See this "othering" of 2 billion or so people is what I meant when I said that we have substantial character differences.
lmao you gettin raged on by all the muritards sorry m8
they can't even read lol
And another one for the block list.
Says the Euro trash.
Generally speaking, European arrogance like this is based on looking at US conservatives -- which is why this is so confusing, because you and OP are ideologically the same as US conservatives.
Or... Hear me out... One side just does it more frequently.
