If you are so scared of Muslims that you want to ban them all from entering America, you are straight up a pansy.

I am a pansy. Personally, whatever rmuslims are bringing to the table is not worth the 1/100000000000000000000000000000 chance they injure me. Thats called a cost / benefit analysis.

Um...
The Ottoman Empire was allied with the Central Powers in WWI ... and that side lost the war. The Ottoman Empire fell apart after WWI, and the West claimed the "spoils" and carved it up in odd ways. Suddenly your uncle in the next town is in another country and you can't visit him without "papers".
By the time WWI happened, the Ottoman Empire was on the way out anyway...they were practically broke. They weren't in any position to be a threat to Europe.

Then better stop eating with spoons, stop using knives, stop driving, stop using airplanes, never swim in pools, stop cooking in the oven, never visit parks, don't walk on the streets, stop having sex...

If you equate Muslims with crocodiles you are a pansy.

I'm saying that if you are that scared of getting murdered by a terrorist, you should start getting scared of a whole lot of stuff that is more probable that will happen to you, before you encounter a terrorist in your life, if ever. In other words, your fear is hysteria.

Why do you insist it must be fear?
I thought we cleared your misunderstood position with my swimming analogy.
It called prudence.
Making smart decisions doesn't necessitate fear as a prerequisite.

I have to agree, I like Japan, I like it because there are aspects of the culture from diet to thinking etc that I feel Improve me. In Japan I try to be more Japanese, respect their ways. People coming to your nation to change it is called invasion and it really is that simple, you don't need guns or bombs either when granted a right to vote, i'm a very serious liberal but NOT when faced with a challenge to those ideals, we fought for everything from Gay and Women rights, freedom to be who we wish to be...
I can't disagree with stopping a wave of people who by belief and vote would slowly erode those things again, religion takes generations to subdue and you can ask any Amer Indian about that, we sit here now in a War on Drugs countless people jailed and those first Fanatics that founded this country, many still haven't changed... A large influx of religious thought right now of the more extreme variety would be terrible...
We'd be handing the world over to the Communist Nations that instilled Atheism because they can function in a modern way and China is advancing past us so quickly it's ridiculous, this is a precarious time, the populace of the USA IS winning a battle against superstition right now... That battle is guaranteed to be lost if we drift so much as a degree back the other way...
Literally, literally this is the first time in US history Liberal has the numbers over Conservative and Science and Evolution over superstition....
Somehow there is INTENT here to reduce the USA the other way and whomever is doing it is smart, using the Progressive side" to make it seem racist and backwards to confront this... but it is PLAIN AND OBVIOUS which way the voting on many issues from Crime and Wage to Military Spending and much more will flow if you add even 1-2 Million people of a Fundamentalist voting nature to the fray... it's all up with cheap labor, lack of education spending, continued wars including things like the War on drugs etc, etc...
So we sit here with "Progressives" literally fighting for this...
But I ask myself....
Who wants MORE anti abortionists, who wants more Religion, who wants more 3rd world wage labor, more of the war on how I choose to use my mind, to be tougher on crime? Give less to the people?
I say... it's the Same people bombing them and causing the exodus in the first place... and none of them are Progressive in any sense of the word. People who want like the Koch brothers to make America hot for cheap labor, same people who sell bombs, same people who make "for profit" prisons etc etc et al...
Don't be duped.

Yeah, a grown up worrying about something that is less likely to kill you than Ibuprofen! You're the embodiment of an adult, that's for sure!
