Bigotry is illogical, and there is no reasoning with it.
- Bigotry is illogical
  
  Yet this isn't even bigotry. It's straight out xenophobia and hatred. The sanctimonious bullshit is just a fig leaf...

  Bigotry is the broader category containing racism, xenophobia, and hatred based on perception of belonging to a group.
  
  Definition of bigotry: "obstinate or unreasonable attachment to a belief, opinion, or faction, in particular prejudice against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group."
  
  Bigotry isn't 'less bad than' racism or xenophobia. Hating people for being from another country is one type of bigotry.
- Trump the biggest blatant self centered jerk with lust ranging to exo atmospheric level and logic to a nanoscopic dot
Picture this sounding like a goose:
- This looks like an AI image at first glance, but on a closer look I can't find any artifacts. Please tell me it's real and AI hasn't finally passed my personal turing test. I've always been able to tell until now...
I've never heard of Haitian Geese. I hope they're nicer than Canadian Geese.
- They're called Canada geese, not Canadian geese. Make sure you insult those fuckers with the right name.
  
  Up here in Canada we just call it Peameal Geese.
The thing that actually needs to happen here is make hunting geese legal.

They are trash birds. And there are too many of them.
- Build a wall on the northern border and have the geese pay for it?
  
  OK, here me out: an Iron Dome but instead of keeping missiles out it keeps geese out.
- Hunting geese is legal, but you need to follow hunting laws and regulations.
- Canada Geese are protected by the migratory birds act between Canada, US and Mexico. The only thing communities can legally do is take the eggs so they don't hatch.
  
  Well I wish they'd migrate once in a while, because they're around here all year. They're also mean if you happen to walk by one and they enjoy blocking traffic.
  
  I fucking hate geese.
  
  And at this point, that act should be amended. The Geese are fine. There's no reason to protect them now.
  
  Goose omelette... Probably Haitians will only be responsible as per Trump
- Confirmed: Americans want to kill Canadians.
- First Nations eat them birds. I've heard they're fine eating. Of course, it depends where you hunt them. I met a guy who said they'd string a net over a beach at dawn or dusk during migration. He spoke highly of the event.
  
  Ebenezer Scrooge seemed to think they were a delicacy...
- Peace was never an option.
  
  It’s like Canadians took all of their negative emotions, stuffed them into Canada geese and sent them south.
  
  Cobra Chickens are mean.
