Such a small price to pay for the richness of diversity from people pouring in from ever sh*t hole country on earth.

Numbers 33:55:

But if you do not dispossess the inhabitants of the land from before you, then it will be that those whom you let remain of them will become as pricks in your eyes and as thorns in your sides, and they will trouble you in the land which you inhabit.

Moses, of course, never dreamed that people would be so stupid as to import them in by the millions.

Yes, but 'chigro' is more acceptable.

In Field Medical School at Camp Lejeune in 1966 we were taught scrub typhus was known as tsutsugamuchi. I’ve never been able to forget that word.

The correct, honorable, classy, decent, and dignified term to use is "members of the Chinese Communist Party".



(To all our Chinese friends and non-Chinese friends on FR and off of FR, that is just my feeble attempt at giving a humorous response to that post, utilizing my warped sense of humor.   No offense is intended to ANYONE but the CCP!)

Harmless adults have eight legs, just as wood ticks do.

Biting juveniles have six legs.

Quiz: If those from Chicago are called chiggers, what are those from, say, Nigeria are called?
