Precisely. Think of the children!

How is it three pages before that line was finally used?

Lots of people are "problems." What's your plan for them?

I suppose that would depend on the problem, wouldn't it?

Not according to your OP it doesn't. You want to deport people because they might do something. You want the government to keep tabs on people because they might do something.

Are you a white male? You don't have to answer, the answer is already pretty clear. Most mass shootings are carried about white males. You might go shoot up a mall or a church or a theater one day, guess we better keep tabs on you hadn't we?

Assuming my race? Actually, I'm a black female. What made you think I was a white male?

I think what you don't like is that innocent people will suffer. Again - tough sh#t. The terrorists will not be defeated making EXCUSES to not defend ourselves.

So many of the xenophobes around here would probably poop a brick if they found out how many Muslims they encounter daily who they assume are not and how many they encounter daily that they assume are who are not. That's one of the greatest and saddest ironies here.

You crack me up!! I swear to God, I was typing a post with that very line, then I deleted it.

Aaahhh, you're black. How do we know you aren't a thug or a girlfriend of a thug who is going to murder us or steal from us? We must monitor you.

I would think you of all people would see the insanity of this.

You do realize that disliking a religion is not xenophobia, right? Furthermore, recognizing that the problems are coming from one source is not xenophobia either.

No worries then! Black women are more likely to die as a result of domestic violence than any other subgroup. We better keep an eye on you for your own safety.

See how easy that is?

You're right, they're doing it in our own backyard in the name of smack and big screen TVs.

Totally different.

If black women dying is the cause of global terrorism, then by all means - keep tabs. Otherwise, stop drawing comparisons to things that are not in any way linked to try proving some false point.

No... they're doing it in the name of the illegal drug trade 'cough' Chicago 'cough'.

Your title says it all. Desperation and knee-jerk responses; all related to what ISIS wanted out of the Paris bloodbath. It seems they got the exact effect they wanted.

No,you're right - it's the same. Killing each other over drug selling turf is totally the same as infiltrating other countries and killing people relaxing at a theater, spending time at a hotel, eating in a restaurant, etc.

Black women dying is the leading cause of death amongst black women. Is terrorism? Are Muslim extremists the leading cause of death for black women?

Not a false comparison. You just dismiss it because you don't like it.

Don't you have work to do?

They sure come crawling out of the woodwork fast every time they see an opportunity to spew their vile xenophobic and bigoted ideas

Don't they just....

a reply to: scorpio84

They are all very good examples of the same generalisation you are making.
You are just defending an uniformed opinion. Thank god you have nothing to say in politics!
Isis is also killing Muslims, you know that, right? Like the Ankara attack? Or many other examples...

I know, right? We better get rid of them thar dirty Muslims that aren't doing anything wrong at all, dadgummit. Thems the real problem we have. If we'd just get rid of all of them, all our problems would be solved!

a reply to: scorpio84

So what's next? Somethinng for Muslims to wear to identify the ones that dress like Westerners? Maybe an area where they can all live together for their own safety?

Why is this starting to sound familiar? "Round them all up." "Better to be safe than sorry." "Put chips in them so we can track them and know where they are."

I swear I've heard things like this somewhere before. It's right on the tip of my tongue....

a reply to: Zaphod58 I used to look at history and think, how could that have happened, but then I get my answers on some of these threads and it seems it was probably all quite easy.
