Yes but the two previously mentioned people are in the truly illiterate category. And the completely illiterate rate is still pretty high especially in Trump country and inner cities
Are you insane? 99% of Americans are literate.

The Gimli Glider pilots probably did the best in flight engineering to land a plane with no fuel in the history of modern aviation.
Really amazing.

You must live under a rock with the whole statement but I'll focus on your last sentence. [b]USA has one of the highest illiteracy rates of any developed country. [/b]A couple of famous illiterate people? Floyd Mayweather and R Kelly. Not to mention the hoards of illiterate white people, most of whom voted for Trump
They can't read or write? Where is you evidence of these statements?

Not true .American culture is finding solutions to problems and not making a scapegoat of people like trump is doing.Most of the laws that gave minorities equality with everybody came from democrats.They are a party of the educated and polished class of America,while Republican is a party of mostly illiterate and and minimum wage working white men
Historically Democrats were the party of slavery, segregation, kkk, Jim Crow laws in the South, and in the especially North East the party of immigrants, big unions (google Tammany Hall), the poor and the working class. The Republican Party was founded shortly before the Civil War as the party of Anti Slavery. It morphed into the party overwhelmingly of the educated Ivy League WASPs (White Anglo Saxon Protestants), the Industrialists. From which the term Fat Cat Republican was born. The poor Irish, Italians, Polish Catholics were overwhelmingly Democrats.
The Republicans also pushed and wrote most of the legislation to end segregation and discrimination. The big legislation being signed by Democrat LBJ in the 60's. It is very easy to find all of this online, including the voting records of each party historically.

I would agree that most of the people with multiple university degrees, especially on the coasts today are Democrats. Most working class whites, including union workers, are Republicans today. When Clinton was president the Dems had about a 17 point advantage with these people and now the Republicans have about a 20 point advantage. BTW virtually nobody in the USA is illiterate.

He doesn't know much about Brazil. He was even saying Brazil is helped by other neighbouring countries. Brazil is d one helping other neighbouring countries. Giving aids to them. It is d giant of South America.
Brazil has great potential. They experimented with socialism not all that long ago, and had a lot of government corruption. Kudos to them for putting corrupt politicians in jail in recent years including former Presidents. One even ran for President from jail [color=#990000][/color] cool

The drug gangs run the Favelas which are poor areas, they have some epic battles with the police. They need to repeal the gun laws that took away guns from the law abiding citizens.

What exactly do you mean by Sweden being ethnically diverse than Brazil ?? I don't think I agree with that
Sweden has had a large influx if immigrants/refugees from Syria, Irag, Turkey, Iran, Somalia, the Muslim countries.
They have native Finnish people, Poles, Slavs from what was Yugoslavia.

The largest historic immigrant groups that make up Brazil are Portugal, Italy, Germany, and a decent amount of Middle East Christians,
and course being a former colony in the slave trade......the mixed race "Pardo" (Euro and African blood) Brazilians are almost as much as
the whites. Whites and Pardos/Black are the vast majority of the country almost 50% each. And most of the Natives still live far out of the way in the bush or rain forest, a couple hundred tribes maybe 1 million of them.

Not including DACA or the Temp acts for Haitians and Salvadorans, it would 9 times.

I keep trying to understand why this statement keeps being mentioned.

Out of all the advanced countries in the world the US has the most different was to migrate legally into the US.

I am guessing that the only explanations why the US immigration system seems broken is because the laws already in place has been broken so many times and even the law makers have encouraged it to continue that way out of greed and cheap labor.
8 times USA lawmakers have granted amnesty to groups of illegals since 1986. Millions of people. There is nowhere near enough detentions centers beds to house illegals caught by border security. Many are just released with a court summons to appear at X date for court. They never show up. And you also have people that fly in with a travel visa, student visa, etc that just don't go back. Although people from all over the world fly into Panama, Columbia, then trek north with smugglers to the border, a decent portion abuse the visa process.
TravelRe: Boeing Is Going To Update The Control Software On The 737 MAX by OyinbowithaTan(m): 2:17pm On Mar 13, 2019
Pilot training on new aircrafts is critical. The Lion Air 737 had faulty air speed indications of multiple flights prior to the crash but the pilots knew what to do it seems. Changing the software to increase or limit what to plane can do on autopilot make sense, what ever that is. Years ago there was a change with the 737 300 to 400. A 737 experienced a blown engine or it caught fire, pilots put the fire out and transferred the fuel to the other engine. However they made a mistake, they transferred the fuel to the non working engine. In the older model the transfer process is opposite the newer model and they were unaware of this. So the plane crashed. There is almost always pilot error in these accidents.

TravelRe: Pls Does Anyone Have Info On The American College Recruiting For Basketball? by OyinbowithaTan(m): 8:26pm On Feb 27, 2019
No idea, but there must be some sort of a system. College scouts recruit and sign African players.
Some of these guys go to some sort of High School Academy first. The college team I follow has 2 African players, one from
Mali and 1 from Congo. One went to RISE Centre Academy (Ontario, Canada), the other went to 22 Feet Academy (S.C.) High School.
From there they were recruited and signed to the university. Maybe google American/Canadian high school basketball academies, make
a list, then call or email them.

There was a political shift in the early days after the depression when all the crazy asss southern Democrats moved over to the Republican. It's funny the early Republicans fought the early Democrats who supposed slavery.
Nope the Dixiecrats remained Democrats until death. A couple flipped to the GOP that is it. Still today the people who dress in black, conceal their faces, and attack others (Antifa) on the streets are leftists. Antifa, KKK, Nazi Brownshirts, Mussolini black shirts, always leftists.
After the depression WWll the South remained mixed politically. Truman won NC, VA, WV, GA, FL, KY, TX, TN, AR. JFK won NC, SC, WV, GA, LA, AR, TX. In 1976 Carter won all of the South and I mean every state in the South. So no what you suggested did not happen.

Well sorry if I generalize but the MAGA cap is looked in the same light as the white cap hood of the KKK... I haven't seen any minority in the USA proudly wearing it.
Only by indoctrinated people it is seen that way. KKK were Democrats of course. Even today Democrats will attack people for wearing a MAGA hat.

Oh, thank you. I didn't hear about it, yet Obama did against immigrants many things, more than any President. Still, if a Cuban citizen makes it to American embassy, he/she can ask for asylum, the thing is Cubans in their country are not allowed to approach to the American embassy by Cuban police, there is a Nigerian spouse who can walk in and ask for asylum for both, the foreign spouse is entitled to asylum based on being married to a Cuban. The thing is the Cuban shouldn't get out to any other country, it should be asking for USA asylum from Cuba, the foreign spouse and joint kids are accepted as the Cuban family.
That is true, you can always try to ask at an Embassy.

Bro Califonia is quite close to Nassau but crossing is a hell of sh**t. It cost $6000-$7000 to migrate with boat, but it's not juicy, it doesn't end there, you fit pay the money finish US coastal guards come catch the boat Omo no reimbursement o..
Na person wey dey Nassau tell me so. Men won arrange marriage for am with Bahamian woman to get PR and that will cost $6000. Bros i no fit dey spend all this money for that way.. I just dey look my kpali dey clock down..
Coast Guard knows the water based smuggling routes pretty well. The Florida coast is pretty well guarded.

California? Maybe Florida. Better go to Cuba, marry a Cuban lady and ask in US embassy for asylum, Cubans and there spouses have the asylum easy or get in the Cuban refugees boat, it's probably cheaper than Bahamas.
Obama administration ended the Cuban wet foot dry foot policy. For decades if a Cuban could make it to the USA on foot they were given asylum. That policy no longer exists. I believe also Obama admin ended the Cuban Doctor defection program. Cuban Doctors working abroad could walk into any US Embassy and defect. Does the Cuban government allow outsiders to move there? Can't imagine any work there. The government recently has allowed for some Cubans to be self employed, cuentapropistas’. Most get a government paycheck, $30-$40 a month USA.

Reporting "fake" hate crimes is super common. I know it was fake as soon as I read the initial reporting. Nice way to suggest that all MAGA supporters are somehow bad or evil.
