    im not shocked at all. if youd understand german (tho i question if itd help much) id present you karl schwab, he cant even formulate a straight sentence.

    in terms of bad, unqualfied and retarded politicians its gonna be hard to compete with austria. our minister of the interior is a former music teacher.

    I don't imagine German being particularly helpful when it comes to syntax. I studied it for a year in school, I was advised to stop.

    its definitely not helpful with english syntax (i assume its the same the other way round) but this guys problem isnt of syntactic nature, he simply doesnt have the cognitive capacity to follow a line of thought (in his native language) :D

    I think its pretty fair to submir yourselfs to minority if that equals out the injustice agaimst them.

    If theres a standard discrimunation why not balance that out by giving them advantages? Cause thats litterally what we do with poor people. They are at a constant disadvantage so we give them advantages so they can achieve the same as the rich.

    Boom logics

    uhh i would say "not really" but im not exactly sure what you're talking about. im assuming you're not talking about speech but actually affirmative action?
    the thing that has been around pretty much a century (which was my entire point)? and been mandated since the civil rights bill was passed in 1967? it wasnt a problem for all those -50 years?
    why has it only become a problem in the last couple years?

    also you say youre a med student

    First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
    Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

    happy black history month (guess who this is!)

    But the moderates save lives with their petitions and picket signs.

    I know I am going to hate myself in the morning for posting here but I could not pass this up.

    Most Europeans want immigration ban from Muslim-majority countries, poll reveals

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-countries-syria-iran-iraq-poll-a7567301.html

    A majority of Europeans want a ban on immigration from Muslim-majority countries, a poll has revealed.

    An average of 55 per cent of people across the 10 European countries surveyed wanted to stop all future immigration from mainly Muslim countries.

    The Chatham House study, conducted before US President Donald Trump signed an executive order banning immigration to the US from seven predominantly Muslim countries, found majorities in all but two of the ten states opposed immigration from mainly Muslim countries.

    A ban was supported by 71 per cent of people in Poland, 65 per cent in Austria, 53 per cent in Germany and 51 per cent in Italy.

    In the UK, 47 per cent supported a ban.

    In no country did more than 32 per cent disagree with a ban.

    Argumentum ad populum is still a logical fallacy.

    From the source: "It is also true that people in Europe vastly overestimate the number of Muslims living in their countries. An IpsosMORI poll in autumn 2016 found that public estimates of Muslim populations were more than four times the actual level in France, and three times higher than the actual figure in the UK." You can see from the data as well that it's highly influenced by the old and/or stupid - otherwise known as the Brexit Phenomenon.

    Oh holy fuck.

    In 1986, a Senate committee denied Sessions, then a 39-year-old U.S. attorney in Alabama, a federal judgeship. His former colleagues testified Sessions used the n-word and joked about the Ku Klux Klan, saying he thought they were “okay, until he learned that they smoked marijuana.”

    this is alot more severe than trumps 90 day temporary pause from only 7 countries. The majority of Europeans want a complete muslim country ban, that includes banning 50 countries indefinitely, which sounds like a religion ban to me :(

    not sure who that is but Chatham House is a highly respected org thats been around since the 1920's
    https://www.chathamhouse.org/about

    Independent and Trusted AnalysisChatham House carries out independent and rigorous analysis of critical global, regional and country-specific challenges and opportunities. In 2016, Chatham House was named Think Tank of the Year at Prospect magazine’s annual think-tank awards, where it also won in the UK categories for International Affairs and Energy and Environment. The judges commented that the institute’s work is ‘reliably excellent’ and a ‘gold standard of knowledge and professionalism’.Chatham House consistently ranks highly in the University of Pennsylvania’s annual Global Go To Think Tank Index, where it has been assessed by its peers as the No. 1 think-tank outside the US for nine consecutive years, No. 2 worldwide for the past six years and was ranked Think Tank of the Year in the survey published in January 2017.The institute’s reports, papers, books and other research outputs are a vital resource for leaders and policy-makers in government, the private sector and civil society. International Affairs, Britain’s leading journal of international relations, was founded by and is edited at the institute.The institute’s magazine, The World Today, provides authoritative analysis and up-to-date commentary on current topics. The Chatham House library has one of the longest-standing specialist collections of material on international affairs in the United Kingdom. The collections are digitally archived and searchable.

    Chatham House is independent and owes no allegiance to any government or to any political body. It does not take institutional positions on policy issues. -

    truth hurts huh?

    I was doing exactly what you were doing with amnesty international.

    I have no clue who richard what ever was. I litterally copy pasted your response to amnesty international and replaced it with the first republican I found on their donor list.

    Looking into the mirror hurts huh?

    since you are quoting what chatham house stands for, ill quote what amnesty international stands for which you discredited by simply sayin george oros

    https://www.amnesty.org/en/who-we-are/
    Amnesty international is a highly respected charity since 1961

    "
    Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 7 million people who take injustice personally. We are campaigning for a world where human rights are enjoyed by all.
    We are funded by members and people like you. We are independent of any political ideology, economic interest or religion. No government is beyond scrutiny. No situation is beyond hope. "

    The real truth here is that you just looked into the mirror
