I disagree and I think that's a stupid opinion. He's just as entitled to say what he thinks (and be treated with respect) as anyone else regardless of how he earned his fame.[/quote]

I don't have to treat anyone with respect, that's the best part about being a free man. I don't have to treat Anwar Congo with respect, I don't have to treat Richard Kuklinski with respect, I don't have to treat Rupert Murdoch with respect, and I certainly don't need to pretend to respect anyone who I don't respect just to protect their sense of self worth. If your happiness cannot sustain the battering of scorn, perhaps you should be acting in a manner that makes you appear like less of a massive cock. Or maybe you should just, like me and anyone else who voices an opinion that someone disagrees with, accept that you can't make everyone happy.

Edit: Villageidiot above me says something similar in a much more kind, gentlehearted way not burdened by years of being a cynic.

As for your second point, I'm not American, I have literally zero interest in the USA and it's immigration[/quote]

And I have literally no interest in Europe and its immigration. We're pretty much on the same page here.

[quote=@Buddha]Because, yes, the world isn't limited to America, and yes, Europe is currently paying for/cleaning up the mess that the USA started when they started bombing the fuck out of the middle East and invading left and right.[/quote]

I'm against our current conflicts and the past few ones, but that does sound an awful lot like your problem.

[quote=@Buddha]Remind me how, in fact, this isn't an issue.[/quote]

Because I do not live there and the situation is entirely different from the one I currently live in. I cannot solve the rest of the worlds problems and do not pretend that I can.

[quote=@Buddha] because believe it or not, there is a difference between being anti-immigration for no reason other than racism, or having issues with the current immigration policy, or simply having concerns about it.

Jontron is an American citizen, so that's what I was discussing. I've already heard concerns from European countries regarding immigration (I can't remember whether it was my buddy from the Netherlands or the one from Portugal that was discussing an issue with immigrants being given several hundred dollars and a room in a cheap tenant building, but it sounded like a pretty bad situation) and consider them valid.
