Why isn’t “one person is too many” your view of swing sets? Or hot tap water? Or cows? If we’re going to shut out those who are desperate to save their own lives, I kinda think it should be based on something rational.
You’ve officially gone over the edge.
If you can’t answer my questions with logic, it isn’t me who’s gone over the edge.
You know, I really don’t know how to respond to someone who compares the potential of a terrorist with a swing set, hot water or a piece of furniture. It is a comparison of apples to rutabagas. People die from innocuous things all the time but that doesn’t’ negate the fact that determined terrorist kill by choice and desire. Statistically, who is more likely to be the perpetrator of terrorist violence, a young man from Sudan or Syria, or a swing set from the local Wal Mart? Pressure cookers are great for cooking but in the hands of radicalized young men from terrorist states, they become a means of destruction of innocent lives. How this contradicts your “logic” is beyond me.
Death is death. I assume we all want to minimize death as much as is possible. You’re not going to be killed by a refugee terrorist. But you might be killed by hot tap water. At least that one’s on the map according to statistical data. Death by refugee terrorist isn’t.
This. Also explain why NYC which suffered most from this form of terror and is most at risk want them in. THAT is Jesus’ message.
I feel one death by a refugee terrorist is to many
Well I feel the same about the lives of the refugees, and the latter is more likely to be at risk.
Accidents happen all the time, but being blown up by terrorist is an act of war, violence against people and invasion of our rights. Major difference, eh?
You would think so but apparently, not everyone agrees! :whacky:
The chances of me being killed by a lion are practically non-existent but if I rub zebra meat all over my body and run through the African bush, I’m sure that my odds will increase tremendously. And that’s the point: to reduce the odds. Lax vetting increases the odds. And I’m still bewildered by your stance that “death by refugee terrorist isn’t” stance when those people in the Paris theater were killed by terrorists, some of who slipped into Europe in the immigration wave. You keep stating the high odds of death by terrorist but the fact remains that many thousands of people all over the world have been killed by terrorists. It is a reality. Many times it is the unfortunate result of being in the wrong place at the wrong time but death is death.
NYers think it is in the interest of their own people to ban giant soft drinks. I would hardly hold New York City politics as being representative of the nation as a whole.
You should learn from our courage here. We are most at risk from an attack.
Trump is applying common sense to migration. People do so all the time.
Please explain to me what else you’re willing to take this stance on when the odds are so incredibly low. What else are you willing to completely expunge from your community because it creates a 1 in 3.6 billion chance of killing you?
That’s why they’re vetted.
Uh, internet discussion forums?
