And?

The fact that there are necessary risks in life doesn't mean that we must indiscriminately accept unnecessary risks.


Why? If my neighborhood was becoming dangerous, I'd get better locks, maybe a security system, and start looking at places in a safer neighborhood. I don't see that it's virtuous to leave my doors unlocked just because that's what I've done in the past. Fear isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Stop talking as if you are the only one living in this country, "my neighborhood".....

No, sorry laws are in place to vet people coming in yes, nobody is fucking arguing that. When you are talking about people fleeing poverty or crime or war, you don't assume automatic guilt by proxy of source. SECONDLY you keep forgetting our bombers have been OUTNUMBERED by far more non violent migrants. THIRD, McVeigh was NOT a Muslim. Roof was not a Muslim, so are you saying their acts of violence means we profile all white angry people? Seems like you are cherry picking here.

FYI America turned away a boat full of Jews during WW2 they got sent back and most of the 900 ended up being murdered by the Nazis. And don't bring up the Cuba crap, because ultimately they wanted to end up in America. 

Fear is fucking bullshit. Fear is what closed societies sell. Fear is what Saudi Arabia sells to their population. Fear is what Kim Jong Un sells to his population. Fear of the outsider. 

Being safe and having watchdogs is fine, being so paranoid you cant have empathy for your fellow human not only makes you delusional it makes you tone deaf to your fellow human.

You talk like Frank Burns on MASH. Hyper nationalist and always scared.

You have more of a shot dying in a robbery or domestic murder or even dying in a car crash. 

I am going to go to some pretty crowded places when my friend visits me, but that is not going to stop me. And you even missed the post where I quoted a Pakistani Muslim who had a van taxi who was AT THE CONCERT and drove 24 teens home for free. That interview was on CBS This Morning yesterday, he said "That could have been my daughter". Now you'd be an asshole to him a guy who wouldn't do what the bomber did? You'd be an asshole to him because of his name or his religion or origin? Nope sorry, that makes you a heartless person.

You don't lump entire groups together, you treat individuals as such.

My point exactly there is a difference between caution (which is already practiced ) .And irrational hypertensive red scare level paranoia . And if Beta male is filling his pants with his own urine over "his neighborhood" .Then I think he should direct his bed wetting behavior to people already living in "his neighborhood" .Because you yanks pop each other off left right and center .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
