What the fuck is happening to the world?
Jesus Christ. Is an economic downturn all it takes to bring the crazes and their supporters out of the woodwork.

Internet forums are more for circlejerking (patting each other on the back) than actual discussion (exchange and analysis of information and points of view). Took me long enough to realise ...
I don't really see the problem with him honestly. He cleaned up his hometown when he was mayor and completely turned it around, kind of like Giuliani in NYC.
Protip: comedy shows aren't a quality source of realistic analysis.
They should just deport this asshole. Every time he is on, he just bitches about the US and his voice is so grating. He isnt even a citizen, if he hates this country so much he can go live in whatever hole he crawled out of
I'm not watching that shitty show which skews everything to fit an agenda. He used death squads sure but the Philippines can't be held to the same judicial standards as other countries.

Japan still hangs people frequently and we have practically eradicated non-organized crime from our society partly due to the severity of punishments. Just because the guy enforced harsh rules and says weird things doesn't mean he would be a bad president.
The Philippines is a strange country of Catholic and Muslim extremists.
"Japan is often considered slightly odd compared to other countries. Its economic success, distinct culture and disciplined population has made Japan rather unique, and produced one of the lowest crime rates in the world" -hammer meet the head of the nail. also, organized crime is abysmal in Japan so thats not saying much. however neither of which has anything to do with hanging people or lack there of. also. pretty sure death squads are never the answer. talk about whitewashing.
I did watch the video as hard as it is to listen to him talk with that annoying voice and anti-American snarkiness he always uses. He just rambles on about this guy running for election and how he made a few comments about raping a woman before someone else could and then tries to make it look like Trump would say that. Its disingenuous at best and outright slander at worst
John Oliver is very funny but has become maybe a bit too politically biased, but hey everything is these days
Sounds like a Loose Cannon in charge of the Philippines then
And please do not rate him as Trump like.. that is insulting to Trump who is not as half as bad like this guy.
This guys sounds crazy
and reckons he will take China on himself , over the South China Sea.
Lol Good Luck..
Rodrigo Duterte has dared the United States and Australia to cut diplomatic ties with the Philippines after their ambassadors criticized his joke about the jailhouse rape of a missionary.
Duterte also told the ambassadors to “shut their mouths” and not to “interfere” in the elections as controversy continued to rage over his comments in which he said he wanted to have been the first to rape Australian missionary Jacqueline Hamill, who was gang-raped and murdered in a prison riot in Davao City in 1989.
“If I become the President, go ahead and sever it (diplomatic ties),” Duterte, 71, said on the campaign trail on Wednesday night, referring to the relationships with the United States and Australia, two of the Philippines’ closest allies.

I must remember not to post stupid stuff when very drunk.
Well clearly the policy worked in Davao. The city is incredibly safe now regardless of the measures he used.
Who exactly are you quoting? Organized crime is not that big of a deal in Japan. Most of the families fight among themselves but the Yakuza isn't as big of a deal as people make it out to be.
So you are just ignoring the part where he says “I was angry because she was raped, that’s one thing. But she was so beautiful, the mayor should have been first. What a waste.” Because you refuse to watch a clip because it offends your conservative sensibilities?
Do you truly believe that what he said was okay?
I do not find him funny. But then again, the British style humor has never made me laugh. Not knocking it, just pointing out his attempt to make jokes will be ignored by some as not being funny. Not everyone shares the same sense of humor. And his attempt to compare that guy in the Philippines to Trump is ridiculous.
