FireChan Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 By that nature, the driver of McVeigh's truck, or any get away drivers aren't guilty either. Let's free Khaled Mohammed too, since he didn't fly the planes. Yes, because freeing them and not imposing blanket-wide bans against people we don't know a single thing about is the same. This is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the one applying the absolutist standard, so I'm following your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireChan Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) You're the one applying the absolutist standard, so I'm following your logic. Don't cite any kind of logic in that abortion of a post. I didn't call them innocents, not guilty, or to "release them." I said they didn't kill anyone directly and that's true. I said we don't know anything about them. Both things are barriers to a blanket ban, mostly because we have no info on them and they haven't committed any direct acts of terror out in the open. If your idea of "following logic" makes that an argument in support of freeing Khaled, it may be time to go back your safe space.

TakeYouToTasker Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I'm not sure I understand the argument the two of you are having. Which of you is in favor of a ban on Muslim immigration, or believes it to be workable or reasonable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireChan Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) It appears yet again that Fire twisted his argument. Yet again? Maybe you're confused. Originally, you said: You'd have a bigger point if Trump proposed blocking people from Mid East or other volatile regions in, as opposed to denying entry to all Muslims. That's not the point, because in reality it's not feasible. But it shows a separation between a real candidate and a carney clown. A real candidate would stake out a claim by proposing a block on migrants from the war-torn regions, a carney clown candidate would propose a block on an entire global religion. Are all Islamic extremists necessarily from war-torn regions? Or are they all Muslim? Not all. There are some sympathizers/collaborators who aren't Muslim. How did Farook obtain his guns? That's why Trump's blanket statement is stupid. Some followers of that particular religion are absolutely the ones causing the problems. Then it got fuzzy. You said that not all Islamic extremists are followers of Islam. I said that they aren't all from war-torn regions. Your non-"carney" response was just as stupid of a blanket statement, which is why I went after it. You said something as stupid as the Donald while commenting on how stupid he is. Be less stupid.

Kind of ironic that a Trump supporter suddenly wants to go into an in-depth analysis of candidates' positions, wouldn't you think? But I'll play along. Please explain why saying that US shouldn't accept Syrian refugees is the same as saying that US shouldn't accept Muslims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying dumb things. Because not all terrorists are Syrian refugees/masquerading as refugees, just like not all terrorists and their associates are Muslims. Both are efforts in futility.

GG Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 That doesn't make me a supporter. Are we using your special brand of logic again? A rose by any other name? Just wondering why you had the urge to equate The Donald's ban of all Muslims to a ban on people from specific regions during a major conflict? Was it right to ban all travel from Liberia during the Ebola scare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they have any sophistication, they'll get through. Banning "Syrians" won't change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although this kind of lameness is getting tired, it really does shed light on why the anti Trump unhinged is so detached. Any analysis of any candidates positions is a waste of time. . Your listening to a lawyer/used car salesman hybrid like what they actually say is the truth! After destroying the dems in two mid term elections the same guys you love did absolutely nothing with the momentum except submit and roll over to that schmuck in the White House. So when I read how condescending and superior these posts are when someone dares type anything except ridicule or hatred for Trump I just have to wonder who's really out to lunch.

No, the goal is to campaign for votes without sounding like a complete buffoon, which is what my original post was about. It was not about the viability or practicality of each proposal. Neither policy will be particularly effective, but one sounds a hell of a lot stupider but more appealing to the morons. Glad you can pick up on that.

Glad you can pick up on that. Is the goal to campaign while not sounding like a buffoon according to GG or just getting the most votes? If they are both stupid, but one sounds stupider, there isn't a true difference in substance, just presentation. There's no effective difference. So who cares?

Since Trump doesn't post here, I'll stick to bashing his supporters. Of course I'm condescending in my tone, because trying to rationally argue why the man is a complete idiot and will be a nightmare president hasn't worked on you people. So it's much more productive to call you morons, because you pay attention to the insults when you don't pay attention to rational questions about his qualifications and background. In effect, I'm trumping you. Is the goal to campaign while not sounding like a buffoon according to GG or just getting the most votes?

I don't own the exclusivity on calling trump a buffoon. He's earned it globally. But to answer your question, buffoons don't get the most votes. They play well to the true believers and that's why trump's net negatives have been rising. Sorry if I can't take a candidate seriously who can't pull above 35% support, even as people have been dropping out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandius Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Guys, guys, guys. It ain't complicated. End ALL immigration. Adopt a one child only policy (like China used to do) for non-whites. Implement some policies that incentivize whites to have babies. America will soon be great again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
