So maybe, just maybe, you're just incapable of getting what I'm throwing down.

Mental disorders are not always reflective of intelligence. Of course I'm sure you claim to be smart enough to have already known that fact.

I lean libertarian

I'm not sure that means what you think it means.

OK Galt, what have I said that is so un-libertarian?

You haven't really. But you've also said nothing that is necessarily libertarian either.

From the past week or so, you appear to be somewhat of an SJW.....which is certainly not in keeping with libertarianism.

I support non-interventionist foreign policy as an alternative to the failed aggressive policy that has been taken on by both parties for decades.

While I don't think being a so called SJW would necessarily run contrary to libertarianism, I do think the SJW movement has crossed over from 'mildly annoying' to 'directly harmful to their own cause'. I'm all for protesting but the current group doesn't seem to know how to pick their battles.

You can't really believe that can you? You realize there are 3 million Muslims in the US and they've been here for 400 years right? They integrate just fine and they don't blow themselves up 'cuz you're "not with 'em."

A 1% minority is usually pretty quiet. And the few Muslim slaves brought to the US 400 years ago rarely were given access to explosives or weapons. The old expression about safety in numbers comes into play. If there are more of them then there will probably be more trouble.

Why use graphs. Here's a real picture of a liberal for you. Damn, I almost confused him with Einstein.

Einstein was a democratic socialist. Like Bernie. Not that that will sway you I'm sure.

3 million isn't enough? Then what's the magic #? At what point will American Muslims start blowing themselves up in the town square en masse? Let me guess, after the 10,000 more Obama has proposed?

My IQ is well above the highest on that chart, but what makes me intelligent is my common scene.

Well obviously that's true.

Where are all the liberals?

Hoping the blame conservatives for terrorist attacks, and not blame the terrorists.

I guess my question to you Max is....Why don't you advocate a stop gap solution to helping these poor people that does not include bringing them into the US? Why is it so important that the only solution that you Progs can come up with involves removing these people from their indigenous homelands? Im very perplexed why NO other solution has been put forth. Is it that there is another agenda at play?

I have known a lot of very smart people...many of them Liberals. I agree that in general Liberals have very high IQs. I submit from my experience that while very smart...most of them have very little common sense and lack the ability to relate to the real world. They are stuck in an idealistic dreamland and do not have the ability to understand what is going on around them. It is not that they are bad people. In fact most of them are very caring..well meaning folks. It is that they are simply isolated from reality. Im not going to call them stupid or crazy. It is more like they are just walking around with blinders on 24/7. I feel sorry for them more than anything else.

Conflating IQ and common sense is the major fail. We all know that the smartest nerds in school had trouble matching their clothing.

Well, there's this:

http://tribune.com.pk/story/993916/turke...-refugees/

I don't think we should say 'never' to refugees, but it's common sense to rigorously vet these groups before entering, especially in light of recent events.

If any of us were putting an ad out for a roommate, you wouldn't just let anyone into your home without any questions whatsoever.

Quote:Other than a few threads from Max, and he only participates in his own, and bizzle, whose character is currently a Trumpian, where have the liberals been lately? Come back, this place is getting boring.

The cons on here are the most closed minded/ridiculous people that I have ever come across. It gets tiring dealing with a group of people whose stance is "liberalism is a mental disease."

Why should I spend my time trying to have a debate with people who will literally say "LOL what a fail john0" without ever addressing my points and then some other idiot chimes in with "this thread got debunked within its first couple of posts" regardless of how valid or invalid the point I am making. Not to mention the conversations with guys like Paul M where they will pretty much go to the point of denying gravity or say the sky is green rather than admit that I am right on something.

Not to mention the massive xenophobia and islamophobia that you guys have. Look at the Mecca crane collapse thread. I have never seen a thread chain that is so damning in proving that people could be so possibly fu**ed up in the head.

So you guys reap what you sow on that one. The cons on here turned this forum into a place where the only acceptable answer is that the lib is wrong and they are right. So don't be surprised that the libs are not coming around as much.

They are scared and run away.

**** this place...

It'll be an interesting reading when Hillary wins...that's about it

If you hate it here so much, why do you continue to post here? Or, did you major in hypocrisy and double-speak in college?

I kinda don't know where I stand, many liberals on this board would say I'm a conservative and quite a few conservatives said I'm a liberal.

But, this is just a tough issue for me. The vast majority of the refugees are trying to escape ISIS/DAESH/ISIL (or whatever it's called on this given day). I get that. I also realize that seven of the eight Paris terrorists are nationals of France and Belgium.

I think we all can agree that these refugees deserve a home; however, this is a case of "not in my back yard!" And I stand right there with the governors across the country that's refusing the refugees. I want an extensive background check of every single refugee before they set foot on American soil. They can chill on a cruise-liner 20 miles off of our coast for two to three years for all I care. The woman and children do deserve food and medicine; however, we have to be vigilant on who we're going to allow into this country. Sh*t, even if the background checks take up to five years, so be it.

I do have to give Muslims, world wide, some credit. This past week appeared to be the first time that many spoke up against terrorism. I think they're starting to realize that their lives are about to get much much much harder....

As for stopping ISIS, we gotta work with Russia and Iran. Share Intel on ISIS and everything. If that means Assad remains in power, so be it.

This

The idea that the only answer or way to help is to bring them to the other side of the globe is beyond stupid.

Not when you are outnumbered 300 to 1.

I appreciate your compassion for your fellow human beings but consider this. Do you remember the Boston Marathon bombing and all of the carnage of that day and the next few days? The disruption of a major American city? It was caused by 2 individuals. Two! Now just suppose that among the refugees from the middle east there are 100 bad actors with evil intent. I don't think that is a wild speculation. Out of the total that would barely register as a percentage. But consider what damage could be done by such people over the next 1, 2 or five years. I do not wish such on me, you or anyone else but we have to recognize that it is a possibility. The major function of our government is to protect us from such dangers. The function of our government is not to provide solace for people from the rest of the world. If we can do the latter without danger to ourselves then fine. But under the current circumstances it would be dangerously reckless to do so.

A lot of them are very stupid as well. Pretty much all of the pathetic man on the street interviews are liberals. Detroit and Baltimore are full of liberals. I seriously doubt the premise. Sure, the academic crowd is overwhelmingly liberal, but that is such a small percentage I can't believe the rest of them don't drag those numbers down. Would love to know the sampling and methodology.

This is true. All it takes is one nut with a gun or a bomb to cause a lot of problems. The only thing we have going is these people seem to go for the jugular... big cities and big events, which are well trained and prepared in this kind of security. When they start doing joint attacks at the PF Chang's in Wichita, the Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Savannah, the Cinatown bus to NYC out of Hampton, VA, and the county fair in Podunk, Indiana, we will be in big trouble. These are the types of events that will cease to happen due to the expense of security.
