My opinion on imigrants from Syria.

It might be a mistake to not take them in.

Which mistake do you want to make ?

Holy crap, if someone wants to argue some nuts will slip through, no shit! I am not willing to punish everyone with presumption of guilt. I want the likes of that teen who made the clock. I want the likes of Malala, and former Muslims like Ayaan Hersi Ali.

Religion, all three, already do a great job selling xenophobia. Not liking how religion divides humans, or it's fantastic claims, or attacks on science does not give anyone a justification to always be paranoid and always assume the worst.

You know for a fact? You don't know me at all then. I'm one of those people that have the means and will to do it.

Oh, wow! A real man walks amongst us. At least as far as tall tales are concerned.

[piterski123]

What point are you trying to make?

Just making a suggestion. You deserve a better life don't you? Your neighbors won't mind will they?

My life is good and I'm thankful that I have a roof above my head. Besides, it doesn't even compare to what syrian refugees have to go through.

I think the situation is pretty complicated, and there are many factors that needs to be considered, political and whatnot, but one can't really blame the decision makers who doesn't let the refugees in here. I'm sure if the situation was really much simpler than how it is, they would happily let everyone in.

You should start by taking some in. You can feed, clothe, and entertain them.

I've taken in a homeless vet. I find food and shelter suffices.

I genuinely do not have space available in my house. I live in a house with my parents and grand parents where my parents have to sleep in the living room because that's the only free space. I have started helping I started to donate money to a charity who helps syrian refugees. I know for a fact that you wouldn't kill ISIS or do any of the things you stated.

Dude, KUSA is clairvoyant and knows you're lying. And it seems you are equally clairvoyant.

How old are you by the way?

How dare he claim to know something about you that he couldn't possibly know!

The situation is actually pretty simple and clear cut. People fleeing a warzone. A warzone, we in the West have helped to create by acting on our fundamental ignorance of the region, it's inherent conflicts and blind support for one side we didn't even know the first thing about. It was pure Neanderthal style. Ugha, Ugha, Assad bad, rebels good. Let's bomb.

And here we are. Faced with the fallout. A human fallout that shouldn't be demonized into being ISIL's 5th collumn. They're just people, having lost everything, looking for a save place to survive.

People are people. I wonder if the same discussion would be happening here if these people were all atheists trying to flee from Islamist war zones.
