May your next vacation to Oslo land you in Port au Prince instead and you can extol the inhabitants you meet. Maybe not you cannot even stand your dark bretheren in the city you live in, at least there they speak enough english for you to understand.

I also have no issue with people from haiti, el salvadore, somalia and nigeria emigrating here. Your whohah moment was from trump declaring those places shitholes. So I am asking you why they are not shitholes as described. Having actually visited 3 of the 4 mentioned shitholes I have no objection to them being called that. So why all of the umbrage?

If i can move my factories and money offshore to leverage my assets to make more money I am free to do so. If my only assets are my strength and ability I can move them to the best place to leverage my capital as I see fit. Personally I recognize borders as an artificial construct to blocking my ability to leverage capitalism. Blocking of borders should only be used to stop criminal activity. But that does not take away the fact that certain countries are shitholes "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

The place is famous for its blunt standoffishness and its affection for rules of all kinds. "Ah hello Mr Boxley. It is a pleasure to meet you. I have reported the faulty headlight on your car to the authorities. Would you like something to drink? I have also reported your car's parking to the authorities, as you have a wheel outside the permitted area. Lutefisk?" But on the whole I'm pretty sure that to the average Norwegian, America is on the list of shithole countries.
