    Very effective geographical representation of the shitholes in the world, and it looks like most of them are, unfortunately for them, in Africa.

    That said, it looks like President Trump, if he did actually say it, was right. A lot of African countries are "shitholes".

    From what's been in the news lately (not the liberal news, anyway) I was sort of expecting to see a brown spot on San Francisco.

    With all the crying by the left about this shithole issue, what they've done is advertise what everyone, including the left, already knew and that is these places are shitholes. As I said in another thread, it's like telling a fat woman she's fat - she gets insulted even though she must obviously know she's fat. It's all about feelings.

    Now that this occurred, I can almost expect the most progressive of leftists to start pooping on their streets and sidewalks to show their solidarity with the shitholes.

    Yuck...

    Been to 32 countries in my time on this Earth, the only one on that chart which is dark red is India.

    I was SHOCKED at the level of poverty and flat out disgusting living conditions in that country. It was truly disgusting.

    ***EDIT*** Ooops, have to take that back. Also been to Cambodia to look at a small factory location. Didn't seem nearly as bad as india, but I was out in the jungle area and it was simply had a MUCH lower population denisty

    Big improvement in Mexico I see.

    Vietnam had to be very dark when I first arrived in-country in 1969.

    Technically any country that has a 1.5% defecating in the open rating is legally a shithole.

    It's been awhile since America had a President who wasn't PC and calls a spade a spade when he sees one.

    Agreed.

    That was THE SINGLE REASON Trump won.

    People are just sick and tired of PC'ness. It hurts like 50% of the population to make 1-2% feel better about themselves, in business we call that ...... retarded.

    Donald Trump ran on a platform of anti political correctness, anti oligarchy, anti globalization, anti illegal immigration, securing our borders, rebuilding the American industrial base, destroying Obama's "JV Team" ISIS, rebuilding our military that Obama and and Congress has severely damaged and making America great again.

    So the USA isn't 0. Must be southern states that make the USA not zero.

    But what sort of person actually went to look for this data?
    Someone obviously interested in defecation.

    0% to 1%. Some areas you can’t dig a hole or have plumbing. Like the outhouse on a rock hill where they just moved the outhouse once in awhile.

    I wonder, where do all the animals in the world defecate?
    Not that is should happen in urban areas.

    Well, I don't know about the Southern States, but I can report that Progressives in San Francisco have welcomed the problem with open arms.

    Along with Los Angeles, it might be that Progressives in California have provided sufficient results to hit that National number.

    No, I think there were a few who came along and squeezed out that result.

    No, San Francisco and other large urban centers that are run by liberals and have a skid row would account for 99% of the defecating out in the open in America.

    Look again India is a prime example. They are actually running education campaigns in India as well as providing public toilets

    That is right when colonial Africa was being ruled by Europe guess what Europe forgot to put in place?

    This is about a policy, not a problem. Meaning we have areas that don't care if one openly defecates.
