Perhaps it's not such a great idea to take in refugees after all?

The guy who killed seven people in a house in Texas last week was a Texan. Maybe it's not such a great idea to have Texans? It seemed to be caused by a fight when watching American Football - perhaps it's not such a great idea to have American Football on TV after all?
Anders Breivik killed 77 in 2011 in Norway. He spent a year in London and most of the rest in Oslo. Maybe he shouldn't have spent any time in London? Or was it Oslo that radicalized him?
Anybody silly enough to read the Daily Mail isn't to be taken seriously.

But but but... that was the (S)Express.
Which changes things not one iota, of course.
Funny how we keep seeing apologists with no provenance ostensibly posting from Scandinavian domains somehow expecting to be taken seriously on these issues.

And yet you make many pronouncements about the USA while living in the UK! That is something only a dimwitted hypocrite would do.
In this area, Mr Brown has much more credibility than you do.
Funny how we see British people without a clue what's going on in their own country posting right-wing nonsense, and expecting to be taken seriously.

Uh-huh! And was that Texan taken in as a refugee, given a comfortable place to live with an allowance for living expenses plus some, and accepted int o a program of study in a local university that he ordinarily would not hav e qualified for? I don't think so. You're missing the point about most of t hese refugees who think they are a superior race, superior culture, superio r religion, and that western society is degenerate dirt that should be dest royed. They may right about the degenerate dirt part but it does indicate a certain amount of stupidity on the part of the host countries.
You also post with no provenance, snowflake.

Joined up thinking has never been CD's strong point, but "snowflake" doesn't seem quite right.
I'd say "ashflake", but that isn't a word. What's the name for paper that's been burnt in a fire, then floats up and down, and disintegrates when you touch it?
"Flake", on its own, seems sufficient.

Accurate, but insufficiently evocative :)
You have /completely/ missed the point. The logic "a refugee planted a bomb, therefore we should not allow refugees in the country" is exactly the same as saying "a Texan killed people, therefore we should not allow Texans in the country".
The bomb here was planted by a /person/, not by a large group who share a single unrelated characteristic with that person. The bomber was a refugee - that does not mean all refugees are bombers.
You know perfectly well I'm English, Bill. So does everyone else here. And before you tell me *I* have no right to opine on the US Constitution either, you need to remember I am not the one proposing to alter it.
*You* are. The onus is on you to prove you have a legitimate interest in sticking your nose in to American politics from your bolt-hole 12,000 miles away. Something that others here have repeatedly asked you about to no avail.-- This message may be freely reproduced without limit or charge only via the Usenet protocol.

Yeah, they stick 'em on some distant island far away from their mainland. Not a bad idea, actually.

Snowflake?? LOL! You have to be a Libtard to be a snowflake; you of all people should know that.

That seems to be the current term for someone who just *can't bear* to hear opinions contrary to their own.
Enjoying your safe space?

Not all immigrants. Only the ones that try to sneak in by boat, and ended u p getting drowned - about 1100 of them, until the Australian government des troyed the business model by saying that if you try to get in by boat, you aren't ever going to end up permanently resident in Australia.
It's not pretty, but it seems to have worked - no illegal immigrant want-to
-be seems to have drowned in recent years. If you've got a better scheme, d o tell us about it.

Why do you think that?
You may not have understood the answer, but there is one. US newspapers don 't publish much news about the world outside of America, because they don't have to.
Newspapers in the rest of the world publish quite a lot about what is going on in American politics, because America is the elephant in the room (or t he bull in the china-shop). The decisions that American politicians make, o ften about domestic issues, have substantial impacts outside of America.
Australia slaughter-houses, killing animals to be turned into meat to be ex ported, had to be re-built every few years, whenever the US meat producers got politically restive, because the US meat inspection service would get g alvanised into inspecting the Australian slaughterhouses, and could be reli ed on to find some new fault in them that meant that they had to be torn do wn and rebuilt to meet the newer - more stringent regulation - saving the U S meat producers from foreign competition for a few months.
This is just one of many such issues. The US seems to have invented non-tar iff barriers to trade, and is enthusiastic about deploying them.
