The difference is that you posted half-baked thoughts,

Like I said... posters don't want to spend an hour writing a thought out and detailed answer to the problem, only to have you dismiss everything as being unrealistic. And honestly, why should we bother writing detailed answers when you continuously refuse to do the same? I asked you to post up your own solution to the issues... like for like. But nope.
xckjoo wrote: » No I want you to be aware that your half-assed thoughts aren't solutions. But that's not going to happen since you're too invested in being right and have no interest in reality. The fact that you think you have solutions shows a mind boggling lack of awareness.

I was going to reply to everything [had already written four quoted responses] but then I saw this. The only reason you asked for people to post suggestions to resolve the problem, was so that you could find flaws with it and shoot it down. You don't want solutons.. you want justification for your own lack of solutions.. :rolleyes: You proved my point all by yourself. Well done. Cased closed. [No need to discuss this further since you're closed to anything that changes the status quo.]

The problem is that these immigrants are people too and no matter how you feel about them, allowing their rights to be eroded is only opening the door for everyones rights to be eroded. If you're happy for that to happen, that's one thing. But we should all be extremely aware of what that might bring. It took a long time to get where we are and I personally don't want to throw that away because I'm afraid.
his right here is my issue. People throw out stupid ideas and then claim it's the PC brigade gone mad when people point out that it's a stupid idea. It's as moany and self-serving as the SJWs with their safe spaces and made up pronouns. There's no solution that anybody can even touch on that could be though of in 20 mins. You're vastly underestimating the scale of the issue. I'm not complaining about people criticising without providing a solution because there clearly isn't a simple solution. I'm complaining about people stating that just doing X,Y and Z would solve the issue when it wouldn't. And then acting all butt hurt when that's pointed out to them.

You've just pointed out that you're against any change that involves the reduction of rights for immigrants because it might later allow the reduction of rights for yourself. How do you expect any solution to not involve the reduction of rights for immigrants/refugees?
Yup. I'm aware. It's remarked often enough in the news. Okie dokie. I'll bite a little. Personally, I think we should prevent any more from coming in and deal with those that are currently in Europe. Those that are not genuine asylum seekers (in real fear of their lives), should be expelled back to their countries unless they have passed the normal immigration requirements (work sponsors, levels of education, crinimal record checks etc). Those that have already passed citizenship processing should be given the opportunity to choose if they wish to stay or move on to a different continent. All public displays of religion to be banned. (Islamic, Catholic, etc) All of them. The right to follow your religion in the home but nothing outside the home and place of worship. Religious laws like Sharia are banned, and only the common law of the land has any bearing. (No more than one wife)[No Sharia courts like the UK did] No Immigrants allowed to have more than two children until they're in Europe for twenty years without any family member performing any terrorist activity.. if they do, then the whole family is expelled. Make them directly responsible for each other. Imprisonment is not the answer because it's just a drain on our resources. Expel them and let the find a place in S.America, Africa or Asia. Those that have the skills and educational levels to not be a drain on our resources, should be allowed to apply for citizenship... But true citizenship with an embracing of the host countrys culture, language, etc. Those that don't show a genuine effort to intergrate should be expelled after one year. Keep all other forms of immigration and Visa's to only those nationals from approved countries. Anyone who commits a terrorist act (and survives) should be interrogated... and then shot. I could go on... but there's little real point. I know what I described above will get shot down and would never be accepted. Simple solution,... hmm... Oh.. sure.. convert all our requirements for oil to Gas/Alt Energy, Nuke all the M.East, , and repopulate the area in a few hundred years. The surviving terrorists cells would eventually be hunted down and destroyed. There you go. Simple. :rolleyes:
Fact is, most of us have thought these things through, and have come to some rather nasty conclusions about what needs to change within Western society if we have any hope of defeating this threat. But we're generally not going to go into any real detail because the PC brigade are in power... and it's rather fashionable to stand on the top of a moral pesdestal and proclaim how enlightened they are. You'll see this soon enough when people start tearing apart what I suggested above. Now.. how about you sit at home quietly for 20 minutes thinking on the subject and post your own opinions on how the problems should resolved..? After all, you're doing the very thing, you're complaining about others. You're criticising without providing any solutions.

I'm trying to talk about the human reaction of the so called PC Brigade, the media and spineless Politicians doing everything in their power to downplay a huge problem, certainly the biggest social problem I've seen in my lifetime. Even so I'll stand by what I said originally, this is all a secondary reaction to a problem that hasn't been dealt with by Governments or mainly the EU in this case, and has been allowed to fester for far too long. Perhaps too long for there ever to be a credible solution.
Billy86 wrote: » Oh yeah I get that there are reasons for some people acting like that (though if it is unavoidable we would all be doing it), but that's not the point here - that poster is openly calling on people to commit terrorist acts and that our own head of state 'needs a bullet'. There are posters here who should essentially consider themselves criminals if they do not do something about that.
Noel82 wrote: » I don't agree with what he said, but what he said is a symptom of the main problem, and in reality that poster isn't alone in his thinking at all. I would say it's a widespread thought in the back of alot of peoples minds. It's an unavoidable human reaction to what's happening around Europe IMO and inevitably with increasing social problems and terror attacks when the Government and Media do everything in their power to downplay what's happening normal people are going to take the law into their own hands. I'll repeat I don't agree with what he said, but IMO, it's exactly what Douglas Murray is talking about.

Then he's gone and said we need to become terrorists ourselves. I don't recall Tommy Robinson openly saying Theresa May or David Cameron "needs a bullet" or that British people need to enact terrorism, in fact I've seen him supporters/sympathisers/apologists/whatever you want to call them point this out on numerous occasions. There are multiple posters in this thread saying if you see something like this (extremist, terrorist behaviour and rhetoric) and do not report it, it should be considered a crime. Will they report this to the Gardai?
