Thus far it has been suggested that I was recommending forced removal of people or violence against people... My only guess is that feigning outrage against what you want me to have said is easier than what was actually proposed.

Actually, you offered to pay, and I doubt you can afford that (and I called you a keyboard warrior as a result). You suggested I move to Somalia because (?) I have the (according to you) minority opinion, which is strange because Somalia is the type of place that certainly does not accept different types of opinions. You certainly seem to fit in though, which is strange that you cannot see that.

1) It doesn't matter what the poll says, you were suggesting (offering to pay) people to move to Somalia because they were criticizing the government, not because of any poll. You had already dug yourself into a hole before any poll was suggested.
2) I can feel whatever I want about my tax money regardless of minority and majority opinions because this is a free country. Go read some history books about what happens when minority opinions are discounted or punished (I will save you the time...people will side with majority so that they are not persecuted). Canada is great because I can like or dislike, the minority is protected.
3)"devils advocate" seems to be the worst name ever for someone that insists on only using the so called majority opinion and expelling anyone who disagrees. Please change your name to Dictator or Hypocrate.
4) Keep posting, this is actually funny.
