Why not make it 4 instead, that's an even number.

And I wonder really what Trump or any other pres could do? The petro $ is what rules the day, and we are indeed painted into a box.

I think we agree for the most part. We could argue specific points, but I'd like to leave it where it's at.

Well said.

Seems lost on the protestors at the airport that this is to try to insure that the "bad" people are kept out by vetting.

Yeah sometimes it does seem like it. It is part of the flow of two enemies who can't see eye to eye because........?. Who knows.

It is of paramount importance that we know who is coming into our nation.

I agree with that being important. The vetting process will have to be meticulous if not perfect if it is to work correctly.

I wish we could all just be nice, but there are radical segments of the world that do not play well with others.

I have actually come to learn that most people are nice a lot of the time, some people are nice some of the time, and a few people are not nice at all, but no one I have ever met was nice all the time.

Sadly that is what it all comes down to... $ and politics.

Agreed.

Sociopaths seem to be the problem, they are a very small percentage of the population but cause all sort of havoc.

But as we all know religion is a super good way to make people go for each others throat.

You don't ban the country who gives you $350billion in an Arms deal...

It's not proper etiquette.

LOL - even the terrorist countries have their own terror watch lists of countries who are terrorist enablers - here's another one not on the 'travel-ban list of 6'....

A joint statement by Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the UAE has placed 59 individuals and 12 organisations - Qatar-based or funded by Qatar - on a "terror list".

They keep raising the bar for the lowest denominator don't they.


You can't ban Saudi Arabia, a country that was recently elected to the UN women's rights commission. I heard they've been working really hard on all that gender equality and women's rights stuff they're so passionate about.

Oh they understand plenty about the radical element. We already have a strong vetting process and Trump hasn't changed anything much really. They just see this as going overboard, putting the unnecessary fear in people more than it should.

I don't know. I think our vetting process could be improved dramatically. But it still might not be the problem. Illegal border crossings can have just as bad an impact if not worse than an enemy making through the check point. I would still try to improve the vetting,the knowledge and skill are present to do just that, but I would definitely up our border security, for the safety of the nation.

We can put whatever label you want on them. My true belief is that there are no more leaders in the world. Only manipulators. Mankind in it's adolescence from youth. The AGE of Materialism. The world is made up of high school cliques.

But as we all know religion is a super good way to make people go for each others throat.

There is only Truth, Lies, and Understanding, with little bits of Wisdom here and there to guide you.

We should ban all people from coming from Israel into the USA...Make America great...Don't call me an anti semite...Israel hurts the US more than any Muslim country. Fact...

a reply to: Twang

I have complete faith in you, that you will shatter the "Times banned in a month" record by miles. I gave you a gold star and an attaboy just for your persistence.

Sorry a lil off topic ya'll, well.....except for the ban part, carry on.

a reply to: mtnshredder

I think this meeting is a good idea. It helps them to understand each other and religions. And it shows that those Muslims are peaceful and want peace.

And yet the Muslims from the ones on the Ban List are not peaceful. Irony............

The real irony is Saundi Arabia is not on the ban list.

Which is why its not a Muslim Ban. lol

No it's a ban on places that dimwit doesn't have a operating business.

You obviously aren't, because nowhere did they call you a smart ass. You just came off looking pretty dense.
