Which nations get to stay?

The Scandinavian nations?  They can stay.  

France?  Sure.  

Portugal?  We all need a place to get high, so yeah.  

USA?  I don't like a lot of it, but they have good weather, so they get by with the skin of their teeth.  

Russia?  Go fuck yourself:

What does that even mean, "which nations get to stay?"?  I don't think know of anybody that's calling for any countries to be abolished over their treatment of LGBTQ people.

Ok, Literal Ken, I guess I need to explain myself: it's a colloquialism and certainly not meant to be taken literally.  It was used only to illustrate the bigoted law in Russia.  Sheesh.

Okay, could you identify where this "colloquialism" is actually in use? I shared Ken's confusion, as it is the first time I have ever seen it used.

I understood it, colloquial richardp. Just so you know we're not all literal-minded curmudgeons here.
