Facebook Users Show Me The Truth About Chile

Originally from http://www.liberatingporn.com/  

(Note: I used to think that Chile, despite some problems, was a fairly stable nation. Fortunately, various members of "Pray for Chile" Facebook groups have shown me otherwise...)

Philanthropic Facebook users have once again sprung into action. With the earthquake in Chile, thousands of warmhearted social networking folks are able to prove their warmheartedness by joining one of many "Pray for Chile" groups. These groups are a lot like the "Pray for Haiti" groups, but with more Chile, less Haiti, and an even greater difficulty in locating this month's devastated country on a map.

And Chile certainly needs the well wishes of American internet addicts. Santiago, capital city of Chile, is, of course, a glorified shantytown of ramshackle houses, raw sewage, and South Americans, as Facebook informed us. But hey, Chile isn't America, nor is it a country in Western Europe, so it's probably just like Africa, only with less black people. (According to many Facebook groups, Africa is also a country in desperate need of Facebook groups; several Facebook users are hoping for an earthquake or two in Africa, because "Pray for Africa" groups show everyone how much the Facebook user in question cares for the less fortunate.)

Lib Porn contacted a few Facebookers who were some of the first warmhearted Samaritans to send relief to Chile via prayer, group membership, and, in some cases, Twitter updates. These users had just looked up the term infrastructure on Wikipedia and, after they found the term confusing and complicated, concluded that Chile had none. The seemed to think General Pinochet was kind of a dick, though. One Facebooker promptly created a group to urge Congress to intervene on behalf of the Chileans and remove this vicious dictator from office.

Lib Porn, after extensive Facebook searching, have discovered that Chile is indeed a squalid mess. While we unfortunately believed, prior to the spontaneous outburst of "Pray for Chile" groups, that Chile was actually a well-developed country and economic power in South America, thousands of Facebookers provided us the knowledge that Chile is little more than an open sewer full of MS-13 gangbangers and leftist death squads, much like the rest of South America, Africa, and certain neighborhoods in East LA.

Yet we can't help but think that we American Facebookers must do more for poor, impoverished,  third world Chile. Certainly, we must post even more well wishes for the social and economically backward Chileans. It's a known fact on Facebook that American prayers and social networking groups have three times the positive impact on third world natural disaster victims than any other white country, and certainly more impact than those of piss poor South Americans (few of whom have ever heard of electricity, nor do they have power outlets in their shantytowns and, thus, they can't register on Facebook).

They must have had a helluva gay scene there to rate an 8.8.

Is EightPointEight any kind of gay code?

...you understand this was trashing the average American Facebook user's view of Chile, right?

I wasn't trashing Chile, bro.

I was right with you (0.00 / 0)
but is not just facebook users, most Americans are pretty clueless about the World, history, or just about anything.  Hell Geogre W. Bush got elected here at least once, maybe twice if you hear him tell it.

Cheers!

American Hospitality (0.00 / 0)
Yes, Iv'e been to Chile, Santiago a few other places in Chile. Chile is a modern nation. Iraq was a modern nation! .(before the much needed war to depose a man who gassed his own people [with Iranian gas] )..I suppose. I haven't been to Iraq.

But much of South America with some exceptions  is pretty well off compared to how Americans imagine it.

Americans think there is DANGER in the world. Americans think it's dangerous to travel. 5% of the American population is in jail, most for smoking joints. Murder capital of Earth...I think it's the USA..if not at the top.

Most of the people of this Planet are much milder and peaceful than Americans. Americans can travel safely just about anywhere in the world...even in Arab countries and they will be treated well...but Americans can't believe it.

Americans are know for their hospitality. They don't have any.

I have a word for you. Juarez.
Another word: Tehran.

People are people.

Americans are actually quite nice to visitors.

You can cherrypick all you want. There's 300 million Americans. Apparently you know all the bad ones.

Joke, mon. Joke. (0.00 / 0)
Remember when the Bible pounders said the Katrina was because of the wild social life in Norleans, and then the Haitian earthquake was because of immoral behavior?

My bad Ormond... (5.00 / 1)
...didn't realize you were joking, dude. It's my fault, of course. I spent a few weeks posting on the Argue With Everyone political forums and, to be honest, I actually got used to seeing posts by wackjobs who really did blame natural disasters on gay dudes.

God damn internet, I swear...heh...

Glad you registered...... (6.00 / 1)
this place politically is like a UFC Octagon with bean bag chairs and a giant hookah in the middle that's blazin trees 24/7.

It's legal, Otvos gets it for his glaucoma :-P

Good Satire (0.00 / 0)
As you pointed out in your diary Twitter updates and prayer are two of the most needed commodities in Earthquake ravaged Chile.

Chile probably has one of the lowest standards of living prayer and twitter updates in the world.
