    you didnt outplay anyone, you are just evading the issue ignoring the fact Europeans don't want any Muslims! as opposed to the USA just wants a temp pause on 7 countries who don't supply documentation or have good vetting practices of their people who want to immigrate. Put that in your pipe and smoke it :P

    the first difference is, even if 90% want free beer its by far not the same as when its made law.
    the second difference is, a general ban would be unconstitutional in a lot of countries - if not all bc itd conflict with the echr. people can be banned as individual, but not generally.
    the third difference is, refugees cannot be banned as its against human rights.

    I know but its the fact that everyone in this thread from outside the USA was ridiculing Trumps exec order which is just common sense and not a Muslim ban, while the majority of people in Europe feel strong about keeping all Muslims out. needed to be pointed out. Now I will ride off into the sunset again. Enjoy the thread y'all.

    I dont even care if its true or not.

    Im acting childish like you are,saying articles or information is false based on absolutely nothing.

    You are evading the issue here that you are selectively ignoring anything that opposes your view instead of being open to new information. Blindly accepting everything.


    This thread is not a discussion thread anymore. Its a shit slinginf thread where people disagree with each other without understanding one another. Without even TRYING to understand.

    On one side you have DT who overgeneralizes everything based on examples and Vicki who ignores information and facts when presented.

    And on the otherside you have shitstorm calling everyone a fascist and hitler.

    If everyone tried a bit more and acted less like illogical turds thatd be great and we could have an actual conversation about politics that goes deeper than discrediting sources, generalizations and insults.

    in case you missed it, trump is your president. the people asked have no say in this. and even if theyd elect a goverment who could, itd need 2/3rds and even if that could happen, it would fail at either constitutional court already or if that fails aswell at the european human rights court of justice.

    also i cant find the study you refer to, the link does lead to an overview site, not to an article.

    No one here has ever disagreed with the fact that the majority of people are fucking retarded; put the majority in power and they'll do retarded shit. We ridicule Trump and his apologists because he is in power.

    And the only reason Paradox didn't outplay you is because you don't know the rules.

    i think if you asked anyone in this topic if europeans like muslims, the answer would be a resounding "no." people in europe dont like trump because they see him as a joke and the embodiment of a cartoon villian

    "common sense" would be focusing on and divesting from countries that actually fund and breed terrorists, instead of random boogeymen muslim countries while ignoring the very obvious ones

    Syrian refugees find home in Trump country. And now their neighbours say he’s going too far

    tbh austrians are a lot like this dutcher guy. most only see them from afar, if they actually ever saw one. they look different, they hate them. because thats very austrian, you hate what you dont know. there was a survey - the strongest aversion against muslims was in rural communities with no muslim population. the least problems were reported in areas where there are the most. weird isnt it? could it be its just prejudgment?
    there was a refugee home built close to where my dad lives. my dad is a classic central european conservative, even was a functionary member of the union close to the conservatives (though conservative has a different meaning here, i guess in US terms hed be considered a social democrat with a higher emphasis on market economy as in opposition to socialist democrat party members, its more complex though).
    anyway, when it was decided, the FPÖ - our far-right party - immediately started a fearmongering campaign. ofc he was a bit scared aswell, in the end its only a few hundred meters to this building full of robbers, murders, suicide bombers, rapists and what other atrocities were attributed to them. now the refugee shelter got built anyway, think it opened like a year ago, maybe one and a half. recently my dad told me "wow, i dont understand why they made such a fuss about it, you barely ever see one anyway." needless to say, crime rates didnt go up either.

    It would help if people who don't like Muslims from the Middle East understood how stupidly broad that statement is. It's so broad it's useless, inbetween that there are different beliefs, different countries/regions, languages/dialects, different levels of wealth & education.

    There are people who are on a basic level scared of different people, the guys who cross the street when they black folk because they don't know any black people, they just know that a disproportionate amount of crime is committed by black people on TV news and that's enough for them. They aren't thinking or interested to underatand that the issue of crime is not cultural or racial but socio-economic.

    Basically the man in the street isn't a good indication of what is right, just what is popular. So I don't care if 50% of Britain doesn't like Muslims because 80% of Britains have stupid, unfounded views.

    I get a better discussion from a brick wall that anyone could get in this topic, because the brick wall is polite enough to listen and silently consider everything said to it.
