    For feck sake. Are you being deliberately obtuse? Read the post I responded to initially for your answer. This is the last time I am going to entertain this nonsense.

    Why don't you just post a link/quote to end the discussion instead calling someone obtuse for asking you a question?

    Bernie supporters are saying Hillary is the war queen and will be gung-ho when it comes to interventionist wars. Her record does back this up.
    Hillary's Libya policy contributed to terrorism.

    Close the borders. But that's too simple to imagine I guess, better bring up the Hitler drama, thrown some racist abuse and give a warning on lovely boards.ie :)

    Western Europe gets exactly what it deserves.

    Action is needed , rational non extreme action like reinstating proper border controls and cracking down on radical mosques and hate preachers or else we risk Europe sinking into a very dark place indeed.

    Europes ****ed on this front, they're dealing with second generation loons wo are embedded like ticks

    We have some hope of not making the same mistake so long as we act now and ignore any guff from the middle class hand wringers

    If you know that even one of the biscuits is poisonous, its safer to bin them all so as not to kill yourself by eating a poison biscuit.
    Similarly, If you know that even one of the however many refugees trying to enter the country are going to kill innocent people, its safer to not take any into the country.

    Assuming the poster means genocide is just absurd. It's leaping to massive assumptions because that's what you want to see.
    Or maybe yknow, I'm wrong and you are right - he is actually literally Adolf Hitler and he wants to rev up the gas chambers again! :rolleyes:

    Assuming you can stop people is equally absurd.
    We're talking millions of refugees, and a few dozen radicalised potential terrorists.
    You may very well succeed in keeping the millions out, that's actually relatively easy. Camps, barbed wire, ditches - that will indeed stop families with children and the elderly. Keeping the few people who are determined to do any harm they can out though is not going to be possible.
    Only 2 of the attackers in recent weeks arrived as refugees, the rest had been either born in the country where they committed their attack or have lived there for decades before.

    I see the apologists have seized on an analogy that could be interpreted in a sane way by sane people and used it to drag the thread away from discussion of why priest slaughtering loon bags have been able to form a hobby group in Europe.

    Trying to show the "world" how much more virtuous you are than anyone else is much more important than actual honest debate for many in here

    I certainly don't see disposing of 22 million Syrians as a rational response though.

    So.... who is murdering 22m Syrians :eek:

    The martyred priest is 84 year old Jacques Hamel.

    Complaints already in France that mosques were given more security by the state than the churches have been.
    The problem is there are too many potential targets.

    Time to freeze europes borders. Enough is enough

    We should be very selective in who gets in, minorities such as Christians and Azeris should get first dibs. Probably sounds totally callous; but refugees should be rated by the UN in a similar manner as the IUCN rates endangered species.

    We should refuse those without valid identification, and do some semblance of a background check on those who do have ID. We shouldn't block people solely based on religion - our constitution guarantees freedom of religion.
    There should be some attempt to support Assad in Syria, as that will lead to the quickest end to the civil war and to ISIS.

    You don't have to look and further than the post right above yours.

    Regressive left? Since when does no kowtowing to terrorist scum and giving them exactly what they want make someone a leftist? There's plenty here hell-bent on giving these bastards what they want that like to call themselves right wing, but I'd have a few other choice words to call them.

    Open immigration policy is often part of the left wing political parties policies.

    The guy was speaking against this immigration policy (and you know full well he was) and he gets accused of supporting a holocaust . It's crap like this in every single attack thread (which there seems to be more and more of)
    You think we should continue with the immigration policy we have? Fine. Argue your case, there are also good reasons to keep it, even I agree with some of it. But don't start this hitler bull.

    Good for you! And isn't it also nice that tectonics arranged it so this island isn't actually near anyplace people are trying to run from?

    What about Spain, Italy, Greece? What do you suggest they do when boats with people arrive and barely make it to the shore? Push them back out and watch them sink?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,348 ✭✭✭✭ricero


    Attacking pensioners this is how cowardly these scum are. Its time we fight back and close the borders. Round them up and lock them up with no trial

    It has been discussed before.
    Instead of doing the people smugglers job for them, European navies can simply tow or return these would-be sailors to their shores of origin.

    No harder than the status-quo of providing the free taxi they already do.

    A virus usually survives through replicating itself.
    This virus is like HIV leave one alive in a system and it'll multiply.
    It's time any religion which supports violence is banned.

    We don't hear as much of Merkel's attempted bullying of Hungary and Poland now to take more refugees. Victor Orban has been proven right. Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic don't seem to be suffering these attacks.

    She's trying a different approach:

    http://edition.cnn.com/2016/07/24/world/ansbach-germany-blast/
    Daleel arrived in Germany two years ago and applied for asylum in 2014, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said.He was informed two weeks ago that his application had been denied and that he would be deported to Bulgaria in 30 days

    So she suspends the Dublin accords when it suits, and now suddenly the Dublin accords are being used to send suicide bombers she invited to Germany to Bulgaria. You couldn't make it up.

    Look...the post received a yellow card infraction. I've said already what page it's on. I quoted it in my response that you have found oh so offensive. You clearly know the post I am referring to. So enough of this crap, buddy. Don't bother responding if you are just going to continue going in circles.

    Whoa, whoa, WHOA!!!!!

    Why would they shout that???? "Daesh" is a derogatory term for ISIS. An insult.

    It was two Muslims that were guilty of it... just saying. Its so scary its beyond belief

    We don't yet know the motive(s) behind this latest attack so we can't say, but it might be they were suffering from some mental imbalance or PTSD as so many people from war torn areas in Syria and Africa and the middle east will be suffering?

    I find very little offensive.
    I'm not really into the faux-outrage bandwagon of 'cookies = Nazism' you seem horny for.

    I'm just seeking clarification for the good of the thread as to who is calling for the murder of 22m Syrians.... and how could this mammoth undertaking be performed?

    Time to step up & shine.
    I'm confident you can be and are not just being hyperbolic.

    And how do you make the countries they came from accept them back? Most of them set sail from countries that are not their countries of birth, and have no papers.
