Did I not give enough to satisfy you? Am I just seeking that superior feeling...or can you accept that maybe, just maybe, I somehow manage to give a shit about refugees...and my kids, and other americans?
Kudos on the service, but the fact remains that at this point you don't care enough to simply control insults to advance the cause.

Maybe, but that's not going to happen. You're starting to get that emotional arguments will likely work better than stats, but you continue to lead off with insults, and the rest falls on deaf ears.

After all, the funds for the site come off my credit card once a month or year, depending on how Tibs set it up. I mean, I also don't have any refugees near me to help because, well, none of them have made it past bureaucrats to my doorstep. I'll tell you what, though, if and when they do, I will give them as much as I give to anyone else around here in need.
You can give to them online. It's easy.

They'll probably end up dead, along with their entire family and anyone who ever looked at them kindly.
You never answered why we're wealthy. Why are we also relatively safe and secure?

I half expect the next youtube of someone getting beheaded with a turkey carver or whatever will be a recognizable face.
(I appreciate the calming comment, though, lol)
Yeah, this is what we want to keep out of our country. There's two sides in a fight, but only one winner stays on to run the place. How do we keep the losing soldiers out, if they can just say hey, I don't have ID because my house was bombed?
