So YOU know exactly how you would react under fire?

So much so, you are confident in telling people that when they are under fire they should charge the shooter?

This will always work? What if he has assault rife with a large cap mag. Your dead and so is everyone the got up with you who didn't go back down after they saw you blown away.

They guy is a naive bumbling fool who think the pyramids were used to store grain and that the signers of the Constitution had NO political experience.

CUOMO: You think being gay is a choice?

CARSON: Absolutely.

CUOMO: Why do you say that?

CARSON: Because a lot of people who go into prison, go into prison straight, and when they come out they’re gay. So did something happen while they were in there?

CUOMO: Most gays never go to prison. And you know there’s a whole theory of dominance.

CARSON: Wait a minute. I said a lot of people who go in come out — are you denying that that’s true?

CUOMO: I am not denying that that’s true, but I am denying that that’s a basis of understanding homosexuality.

CARSON: If, in fact, that is the case, then it obviously thwarts what you just said.

because being black is a huge plus for republican candidates. Just ask Alan Keyes...

Yes let's all just stand around and get killed instead of reacting to the situation in a sane manner. If the professor and possibly a few students were carrying concealed weapons, this would've been stopped rather swiftly.

http://www.vox.com/2015/11/6/9685574/ben-carson-west-point-politico


Quote:

Does any of this matter?

On one level, this isn't that big of a deal. When specifically Carson met Westmoreland doesn't matter all too much. And while Carson clearly exaggerated in describing encouragement from senior officers as an actual offer of admission, perhaps that falsehood isn't too important. Indeed, the generous reading would be that his teenage self interpreted their kind words as a real offer, and he remembered them as such when writing his book.

But this plays into existing doubts about how truthful Carson's being in discussing his past. The biggest part of this is the CNN story, suggesting that his stories of life as violent teenager who attempted to stab a friend to death and went after his own mother with a hammer are false, or at least that no one who knew Carson at the time could corroborate them:

It also comes after Carson insisted, against considerable archeological evidence, that Joseph from the Old Testament built the Egyptian Pyramids to store grain, and another a controversy last month in which he insisted that the Holocaust occurred because Jews in Europe were insufficiently armed. It also comes after a Republican debate in which, after being shown that his 10-15 percent flat tax plan would leave the government trillions in debt, he continued to insist that the numbers "work out quite well":

QUICK: If you were to take a 10 percent tax, with the numbers right now in total personal income, you're gonna come in with bring in $1.5 trillion. That is less than half of what we bring in right now. And by the way, it's gonna leave us in a $2 trillion hole. So what analysis got you to the point where you think this will work?

CARSON: Well, first of all, I didn't say that the rate would be 10 percent. I used the tithing analogy.

QUICK: I understand that, but if you look at the numbers you probably have to get to 28.

CARSON: The rate is gonna be much closer to 15 percent.

QUICK: 15 percent still leaves you with a $1.1 trillion hole.

CARSON: You also have to get rid of all the deductions and all the loopholes. You also have to some strategically cutting in several places.



QUICK: You'd have to cut government about 40 percent to make it work with a $1.1 trillion hole.

CARSON: That's not true.

QUICK: That is true, I looked at the numbers.

CARSON: When we put all the facts down, you'll be able to see that it's not true, it works out very well.

Add onto that the fact that Carson believes the idea of evolution was encouraged by the devil and rejects the big bang theory, and it's not unfair to conclude that Carson at the very least embraces some fanciful views about the world that don't conform to science or evidence of any kind, or at worst is comfortable repeating falsehoods if they held him gain votes among the Republican base (see the religious pandering of the evolution and Pyramids comments, the gun pandering of the Holocaust comments, and the economic conservative pandering of the tax comments).

Next to all of that, fibbing about West Point is small potatoes. If that exaggeration is disqualifying, then insisting that you can somehow implement a 15 percent flat tax without draconian cuts to spending should be really really disqualifying. But it adds to a general sense that despite Carson's image as an affable, straight-shooting political outsider, you can't really trust the guy.

From

http://www.havokjournal.com/nation/words-matter-presidential-candidate-ben-carsons-bogus-west-point-claims/

Any way you cut it, however, Dr. Carson’s claim about being offered a “full scholarship to West Point” is bogus.  There is no evidence at all that Dr. Ben Carson was ever offered anything by the United States Military Academy at West Point.  The Academy has no record of him ever applying, the details of the purported offer of a scholarship from General Westmoreland don’t check out, and Dr. Carson repeatedly told this story during his rise to fame and fortune.  This wasn’t a one-time, youthful mistake; it was a carefully crafted and sustained political narrative.  And now it is falling apart.

The West Point incident is causing people to question other significant life events Dr. Carson claims to have experienced, including his reported anger management issues which including trying to knife a friend and attacking his own mother with a hammer.  All of these are things that Dr. Carson identifies as part of his character development; if all of these are now legitimately being questioned, where does that leave the question of his ability to serve as President?

Dr. Carson is certainly not the only current US presidential candidate taken to task for over-inflating one’s military-related experiences.  In fact, he’s not even the only Republican contender in hot water over ill-chosen words related to the military.  But words matter, and when it comes to West Point, Dr. Carson chose his poorly.  He should do like a West Point cadet would do:  admit the truth, take responsibility, and move on.

Forget i you partisan buffoon.  You are trying to defend a hit obona black person.  He came right out and said he was never admitted or applied.  He also said that doesn't mean he wasn't offered the opportunity.

Have you noticed as soon as he beame the frontrunner the whole media shifted to this 'he'sa liar mode'


Well guess what?  He isn't.  But you go ahead and gnaw on the lefts cock.


And read 'em and weep.  He is as much as 10 points ahead of the HERO OF BOSNIA :lolsy: in the polls.

You have been exposed--along with the media--in this sad attack on a person of character.

I wonder what'scholarships' means in the military academy webpage that talks about scolarships?:highfive:

so now that you prove you just believe what the media tells you...



Before you toss around words like "mindless buffoon", you really should ensure you understand what you're talking about.  In this case, you very clearly don't.

Carson claimed "I was offered a full scholarship to West Point."  That claim is false.  The West Point admissions office says it has no record of Carson ever applying.  West Point is free to everyone who gets accepted there; so a "scholarship to West Point" doesn't even mean anything there.

The scholarships you linked to on West Point's webstite are scholarships available to West Point GRADUATES.  Carson never graduated from West Point - he never even applied.

Now who's "a mindless buffoon who is led around by a nose ring"?  I hope you realize it is VERY clear.

How much pay does a cadet receive?
A first-year cadet earns more than $900 a month, and the amount increases each year.. A portion of that cadet pay is deposited into a personal checking account. Another portion of cadet pay is deposited to a "Cadet Account" that is used to help a cadet pay for expenses such as uniforms, books, a computer, activity fees, etc. Each cadet pays a standard amount for laundry, dry cleaning, haircuts, tailoring services and shoe repair. A cadet's gross salary is subject to federal and state withholding taxes and Social Security deductions.

http://www.usma.edu/admissions/SitePages/FAQ_Life.aspx

Why would anyone need a scholarship? The school is FREE and you are paid to go there.

Hey Patlal,

Maybe you should actually do some research before you start spewing liberal crap?

If Joseph and Imhotep were the same person, Joseph would have constructed the Step Pyramid to bury Djoser and his family after the famine. The burial chamber of Djoser would have been used as a grain storage silo first and then converted to a burial chamber for Djoser on top of which the Step Pyramid was constructed in stages to bury the rest of Djoser’s family!

A Ben Carson nod from the GOP is the best case scenario for whoever ends up as the DEM candidate.

That guy doesn't stand a chance in the general election

http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/carson-eyes-drone-strikes-along-us-border


"The retired neurosurgeon, asked about the use of military drones, was quoted saying, “I’m suggesting we do what we need to do to secure the border whatever that is.” Carson reportedly added, “You look at some of these caves and things out there – one drone strike, boom, and they’d [be] gone.”

Since national candidates don’t usually make “boom” references when talking about using military resources over American soil, CNN pressed Carson for some kind of explanation over the weekend. He responded:
“Read my lips. Listen very carefully to what I am saying. I said there are caves. There are caves that they utilize. Those caves can be eliminated. There are a number of possibilities. [Drones] could be one of them.

“I am not talking about killing people, no people with drones.”"

... Wishful thinking ...

I may be wrong about Imhotep, but I must point out that in order to make this identification there are a lot of records that have to be explained away---the names of both his parents, the place of his birth, and problems with his resume. That may be an insurmountable task. As long as questions remain, however, it warrants further research. I hope others are on the case, and I will do my part to see if I can find documents of proof, not legend, concerning Imhotep's accomplishments. Perhaps God will ultimately make it plain by bringing additional documents to light which clearly reveal the truth.

After doing an initial search, I discovered that a lot of people speculate that Joseph and Imhotep are the same person. If you're curious, you can see two less-scholarly sites here and here. I was surprised to see that someone thinks that the stepped pyramid was actually created to store grain (for the biblical famine associated with Joseph). Seriously? I find that incredibly unlikely.

Nothing there Sweep. It's all bullshit. Now, why you are at it and saying he ain't got nothing, tell us why he isn't a Pediatric Neurosurgeon.

They give credentials out to do that to anyone. Hell, I bet Hillary even has training in Pediatric Neurosurgery.I mean why not? She's the Hero Of Bosnia for dodging that sniper fire there.




... really? That's all it takes for you? He's got a degree in an unrelated field, and suddenly everything he says and does gets a free pass? Lol!

"the founder of planned parenthood opened clinics in black neighborhoods to kill black people."




I liked him and wanted him to win.... till he said this a couple months ago.  I thought "keep your fucking mouth shut you dumbass."  its fine to think those things but never say it. you just look like a fucking retard.

come to find out recently he's a fucking liar.  then tries blaming the media for a smear campaign.  Sounds like something a liar would say.  Its always someone elses fault, right.

No one person from his high school interviewed remembers him as violent.

Westmorland WAS NOT at a Memorial Day, Medal of Honor dinner with him. His schedule proves it.

There was a meeting in FEBRUARY where he MY have met him.

This man is running on his record, his fabricated record.

He needs to be writing Historical Novels so he can twist the facts the way he has.

They underrated a Republican's support. Which could be exactly the case with the Ben vs hitlery poll as well. Dur.

@sweep - Yes he indeed is running on his record, his medical record, none of which has been fabricated.

Before Carson separated conjoined twins, he sought out every expert available, he traveled around the world and asked them where he was right and wrong, that's exactly the kind of leadership we need.

Now the socialist is telling us to vote for the former managing partner at Lehman  brothers. The hypocrisy never ends. Labeling half of the country as "psychotic retard assholes" isn't very sane, smart or nice. Perhaps it is only the hyper-partisan, like you, that are retarded and assholes.

@sweep - Ben Carson has intellectually amounted to a level that is way out of your league. Before you call someone a bumbling idiot, try to garner millions of people's support in a presidential bid. He can't be that dumb.

Yes, half the country is poorly educated, reactionary, and not terribly bright. I wonder how you claim to know what my "league" even is? Maybe you have some sort of clairvoyance that I am not aware of.

With regard to John Kasich, I haven't studied his background, but at face value, he seems much more electable than these fuckwits leading the R polls! I like some of what he has to say. He talks about bringing the country together, instead of dividing people like Mr.Trump.

Carson has proven to be a fucking liar. He is saying outrageous things to get support from the party of stupid. The party that gave credence to the idea that Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman were remotely qualified for the most powerful seat on the planet.

They re-elected Sam Brownback! Nuff said.

I claimed to know what your "league" is? Where? Could you maybe point me to that? I think you may have, predictably, misread my post. Try to read more carefully in the future.

Labeling half the country as undereducated, stupid and reactionary is, in fact, an uneducated, stupid and reactionary thing to do. Are you trolling? Because your hypocrisy is uncanny at this point.

Kasich is lame, and a huge Washington sell-out. Let me get this straight. You, the self proclaimed socialist who is voting for bernie, the self proclaimed socialist, are endorsing the one R candidate who besides being a Washington sell-out also used to be a huge banker. You claim to want a "political revolution" but then endorse the least revolutionary candidate. The hypocrisy never ceases.

So, in your mind, Carson saying, "I believe the pyramids were made for grain storage" is an example of a retard saying retarded things to get retards to vote for him? So tell me, what do you think when The Bern Man promises free college tuition to EVERYONE? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha bernie is so fucking dumb. But then again so is carson.

Ben Carson is a Brilliant Good man but he lives a fantasy in his head and will not be the next POTUS.

First of all Bernie only said he thinks public college should be free, and that's only for the people that are smart enough to get in (not "everyone").

You laugh as though that's an impossible goal, but it's already being done in places like Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.  So unless you think the US is some backwards third world country, it's achievable.

These things aren't even comparable. This is apple to oranges. You can disagree with Bernie, because you have a different set of values, but he's not using fairytale evidence to support an argument that goes against the entire scientific community lol!

Now we'really judging their statements in terms of scientific validity? In this situation, the criteria isn't truth, it's how much it appeals to the public in a general election. Just my opinion, a black soft-spoken yet firm neurosurgeon who suggest massive tax decreases will destroy two old whites whose in one case lying and in the other tax hikes will cause them to be unelectable. Pyramids for grain storage or no pyramids for grain storage you're fucked:thumbup:

On a separate note, why do you believe that the US should be more like those countries? In sanders' favorite example, Denmark, earning $100,000 in income would translate to the purchasing power of $32,000. Imagine bringing in a hundred grand and only being able to afford a single nice car. That's just ridiculous.

Let me ask you this:  Would you rather make $100,000 with a purchasing power of $32,000, plus all the benefits that come with taxation (free college etc.), or would you rather make $32,000 with a purchasing power of $32,000 and no extra benefits?

I realize that the numbers in this example aren't a good representation of reality, but the fact is that the United States is falling behind Europe in things like median income, and more importantly in median wealth:

U.S. Median Wealth Only 27th in World

Country                        Median Wealth
                                    Per Adult

1. Australia                  $193,653
2. Luxembourg            $153,967
3. Japan                      $141,410
4. Italy                          $123,710
5. Belgium                  $119,937
6. United Kingdom      $115,245
7. Iceland                    $ 95,685
8. Singapore              $ 95,542 (non-OECD)
9. Switzerland            $ 87,137
10. Denmark              $ 87,121
11. Austria                  $ 81,649
12. Canada                $ 81,610
13. France                  $ 81,274
14. Norway                $ 79,376
15. Finland                  $ 73,487
16. New Zealand        $ 63,000

26. Kuwait                  $ 40,346 (non-OECD)
27. United States        $ 38,786

So yes, I think we should be more like Europe where it helps people's median wealth.  Free college is one of many such things that would help the average person.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

why do you believe that the US should be more like those countries? In sanders' favorite example, Denmark, earning $100,000 in income would translate to the purchasing power of $32,000. Imagine bringing in a hundred grand and only being able to afford a single nice car. That's just ridiculous.



Let me ask you this:  Would you rather make $100,000 with a purchasing power of $32,000, plus all the benefits that come with taxation (free college etc.), or would you rather make $32,000 with a purchasing power of $32,000 and no extra benefits?

I realize that the numbers in this example aren't a good representation of reality, but the fact is that the United States is falling behind Europe in things like median income, and more importantly in median wealth:

U.S. Median Wealth Only 27th in World

Country                        Median Wealth
                                    Per Adult

1. Australia                  $193,653
2. Luxembourg            $153,967
3. Japan                      $141,410

5. Belgium                  $119,937
6. United Kingdom      $115,245
7. Iceland                    $ 95,685
8. Singapore              $ 95,542 (non-OECD)

10. Denmark              $ 87,121
11. Austria                  $ 81,649

And what does median wealth have to do with anything.  For example, Taiwan and Japan both have a lower standard of living than the US.

It's a sad reality that a large amount of the US population choose not to aspire to anything and scrape by more often than not with government assistance. Choking the economy just so everyone can get a small but equal piece of the pie rather IMO isn't favorable to just let the hard-working be richer and the slackers to be poorer. I'd rather make $100,000 and at least get to have the purchasing power of $75,000. Instead of being able to buy one car, I can now purchase multiple cars for my family members and perhaps even a nice boat for family time on weekends. Working your ass off to be able to live a life of abundance instead of earning a low wage regardless of how hard you work is a major advantage of capitalism. Socialism is essentially allowing the government to choose how to spend your money for you. Boo.

Socialists want equal outcomes for everyone, not equal opportunity. They would rather have shared misery than those who bust their ass get ahead, that's "unfair". They give not two twits about how hard you work and sacrifice, if you have more than your neighbor, that makes you a demon, end of story.

Yes, integrity. I'm calling Ben Carson a liar. He's too educated to believe the garbage coming out of his mouth, and he is pandering to the party of stupid.

So, your argument is that poor people are poor because they are lazy, and wealth people are wealthy because they work so very hard? I just want to get that straight before I demolish that silly claim.

Certainly. I just thought that the role of luck in our success or failure was particularly relevant with regard to "hard working" wealthy people and "lazy" poor people

Standard of living IS about wealth.  I'm not sure what makes you think we have a higher standard of living given that we have less wealth and more poverty.  :shrug:

Ok, now I understand why you are confused.  Your link showed two quality of life rankings.  One for overall quality of life (the US didn't make the top 10), and one for the top quintile (top 20%), where the US came in 4th.  So the rich people in the US are doing well.  No surprise there.

Integrity? Really? Intellectual prowess of a world-renowned neurosurgeon?




Yes, integrity. I'm calling Ben Carson a liar. He's too educated to believe the garbage coming out of his mouth, and he is pandering to the party of stupid.



Hillary is a way bigger liar. Bernie thinks that he will make public college free, and provide social security for everyone. Bernie is too educated to believe those insane ideals would fly in a general election.

It's a sad reality that a large amount of the US population choose not to aspire to anything and scrape by more often than not with government assistance. Choking the economy just so everyone can get a small but equal piece of the pie rather IMO isn't favorable to just let the hard-working be richer and the slackers to be poorer. I'd rather make $100,000 and at least get to have the purchasing power of $75,000. Instead of being able to buy one car, I can now purchase multiple cars for my family members and perhaps even a nice boat for family time on weekends. Working your ass off to be able to live a life of abundance instead of earning a low wage regardless of how hard you work is a major advantage of capitalism. Socialism is essentially allowing the government to choose how to spend your money for you. Boo.




So, your argument is that poor people are poor because they are lazy, and wealth people are wealthy because they work so very hard? I just want to get that straight before I demolish that silly claim.



For the most part, yes. However, I do concede that some of the rich merely inherited wealth and did nothing themselves to build their fortune. But yes, for the most part, the poor are poor because they don't want to work.

That was really the secondart point I was trying to make. The main point is that the tax rates in a socialist society are absolutely asinine. Socialism lets the government decide how to spend most of your money for you. You don't see a problem with that?

It is because the cost of living is so much higher with respect to the salary those people earn in those country.  Lots of Japanese don't even own a car.

You are a knucklehead if you think the standard of living is higher in Japan or especially Tawain.  LOL, I've been to both of those countries.

You know my girlfriend, who lived near Misawa Japan, her parents had a wooden house in a little town called Kamikita.  and like everyone else in that little town and all the other rural areas across Japan, she had to go to the public bath house, down the street from here house to clean up each day.

Here is something else to ponder in most countries, if you have a big screen TV, a car, and a cell phone, you are considered to be 'living in poverty'  :smirk:

I travel to Tokyo all the time, and I've never seen the kind of poverty that I see here in the US.  Maybe people aren't as well off outside the big city, but that's the case in the US as well.  You are from New Mexico; you should know how dirt poor people most people are outside the big cities there.

As for people not owning a car, it's because the public transportation in Japan is outstanding, not because they are too poor to own a car.  Did you know that 56% of households in New York City are car free?  Does that mean New York City is a poor city?  No, it's one of the most expensive cities in the US.  It means they have good public transportation and people don't need to own a car, giving them even MORE disposable income.

I dunno man... I've known some pretty tough chicks. A lot of them only act like little girls when they want shit, or want to get away with shit.

My asian neighbor is 25+, acts like a little girl, and has 20 pokemon figurines on her car dash... whenever I see asian chicks in porn they look like they're about to cry the whole time. Sometimes they do cry... it's fucked up.

I like a seductive arabic or latina woman. Now that's worth it! :wink:

They're all trouble, regardless.

That article was written in support of women's liberation.

I know you think misrepresenting the thoughts of an article written 30 years ago is a 'gotcha' for Bernie, but it isn't. It was quite clear to me, the message he was trying to express.

BBW, you and I must've read a different article. The one I read only could've been authored by a pervert with some sick thoughts going through his mind. There was literally nothing about liberating women in it, nor implied by it.

I don't think his weird sexual fantasies are a "gotcha" for him, more of just a bizarre aspect of his already bizarre personality. Trust me though his oppressive fantasies aren't even close to his biggest pitfall.

I thought it was obvious, but the fact that he's a socialist makes him ineligible to be voted in by the American public. The fact he threw the email card away was a big setback for him as well.

BS thinks he can win on the issues, that's why he threw the email card away, he'd rather have time to spout his big ideas to an ever dumber populace...

Single payer, nationalitizing banks, amnesty, minimum wage, gang rape, turning the PO into fucking bank, forced unionization, minimum wage increases, tax payer funded healthcare for illegals, taxing American corporations for profits made outside the US, shutting down the energy industry, including nuclear, lights out East Coast!

I'm sorry, was I only supposed to pick one?

Really? It was just smut with no objective? You must have missed, I dunno, the entire fucking article. Or maybe you have the reading comprehension of an elementary school child.

From the article:
Quote:

Women, for their own preservation, are trying to pull themselves together. And it’s necessary for all of humanity that they do so. Slavishness on one hand breeds pigness on the other hand. Pigness on one hand breeds slavishness on the other. Men and women — both are losers. Women adapt themselves to fill the needs of men, and men adapt themselves to fill the needs of women. In the beginning there were strong men who killed the animals and brought home the food — and the dependent women who cooked it. No More! Only the roles remain — waiting to be shaken off. There are no “human” oppressors. Oppressors have lost their humanity. On one hand “slavishness,” on the other hand “pigness.” Six of one, half dozen of the other. Who wins?

Many women seem to be walking a tightrope now. Their qualities of love, openness, and gentleness were too deeply enmeshed with qualities of dependency, subservience, and masochism. How do you love — without being dependent? How do you be gentle — without being subservient? How do you maintain a relationship without giving up your identity and without getting strung out? How do you reach out and give your heart to your lover, but maintain the soul which is you?





Clearly written in defense of women's liberation.


Quote:

He doesn't have weird sexual fantasies. You didn't read the article, and you're making shit up, or reiterating Rush Limbaugh like a goofy little partisan zombie.

Quote:

That actually doesn't make him ineligible. The fact the Donald Trump is a pompous ass doesn't make him ineligible either. The fact that Ben Carson says... the darndest things.. doesn't make HIM ineligible.

Interestingly enough, Romney was advised not to even mention the word 'Capitalism' anymore, because it carries negative implications in the minds of the American people.

Could that be because liberals have have preaching that "capitalism is just another word for a thief" for the last 60 years? Libs took over our education system for this very reason, to poison the youth into becoming their mind numbed robots...

True capitalism isn't evil, criminal acts will always be criminal acts, take Bernie Madoff, big Clinton supporter, but you'll never hear that in academia...

is that why you hate bernie so much?  do you think he's the same person as Madoff? that would explain a lot. First Osama/Obama, and now this.



You have to learn that people with similar sounding names are not actually the same person bro.  Educate yourself so you don't sound like a fool.

The only bad ones on your list are the ones you made up (once again, I'm wasting my time correcting your ignorance) - Bernie does NOT support gang rape, taxpayer funded healthcare for illegals, or shutting down the energy industry.

... You give liberals a lot of credit. Yes, we are your mighty overlords, bent on world domination. Now, KNEEL peasant!

If anyone has been propagandizing against economic philosophy, it is Capitalists vs Socialism. They've been spreading lies about the wonders of Capitalism, and the evils of Socialism for decades! The Federal government literally had a black list of supposed 'Communists' in America!

You cry 'conspiracy', but the truth is, American's are shedding the intellectual shackles of anti-left propaganda that has been spread in this country for damn near a hundred fucking years.

So, would you agree with me that Bernie's article was written in support of women's liberation? I really want to know.

I'm curious why you put 'refugees' in quotes lol

Whether you want to accept them or not, I don't think the fact that they are people seeking refuge is disputed.

What are the numbers Webs'tah?

The news comes less than two weeks after Germany announced it had put plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan on hold because of the deteriorating security situation there.

So far this year, 124,000 Afghans requested asylum in Europe, according to the UN refugee agency – more than twice as many as in the same period last year.


Afghans are the second-largest group of asylum-seekers in Germany after Syrians, and the fastest growing. One in four asylum-seekers on the West Balkan route across Europe are believed to be Afghans.




Sounds like refugees to me. Not "Refugees".

Look at you trying to discredit information because of the source without even knowing the source. I first saw the report published on drudge but I forget the website of origin. Why don't you just do a quick Google search?

1/5 is your "number" btw.

My point, to Webster, was that they are refugees, not "refugees". Whether they are coming from Afghanistan or Syria, they are all seeking refuge.

After conservatives have all expressed how scared they are of Syrian refugees, it turns out not a single one of the Paris terrorists that were identified is a Syrian refugee:

Named Terrorists All European Nationals, Not Syrian Refugees

Or maybe they just wanted to live in a developed nation instead of where they live today, why doesn't the whole continent of African relocate to the EU and claim "they are all seeking refuge"?  Do you see how ridiculous this becomes?

What difference does it make?  It just proves that they never assimilate even when they are born there, cultural diversity in the EU is a proven failure, why bring in more of the same? It makes no sense.

I think cultural diversity isn't particularly the culprit. Evangelical brands of Islam are the problem.

"Cultural diversity" (Muslims) in the EU is a failed concept, I'm not even talking about acts of terrorism, so why would we place the direct blame on "evangelical brands of Islam"? 

The "moderate" Muslims that have been living for several generations in the EU have NOT assimilated into society.

Do you have any statistics showing the percentage of Muslims that don't assimilate, or did you make that up?

I'm sure if they could get into the Muslim neighborhoods, where even the police are scared to go, they might have some numbers, but until then, I guess we should assume all is well...

I have heard claims on this website that cultural diversity in general doesn't work, and I disagree with that notion. However, Islam is a unique case, as the belief system revolves around exclusion of other cultures. Islam permeates every facet of Middle Eastern life. Pile on top of that all of the other components of culture shock that exist between cultures of the same religious affiliation, and you have a perfect storm.

Is your reply a joke?  I asked for assimilation numbers.

Your first link only talks about unemployment.  It shows that 21% of Muslims never worked.  Given Muslim women aren't allowed to have jobs in certain middle eastern countries, it actually sounds like they're assimilating quite well, and maybe some Muslim men are too proud to ask their wives to work.  When I was a kid, most women in America didn't work.

The second link is a bunch of stats that I really don't know how I'm supposed to interpret.

The third link says 8% of Muslims have been convicted of a crime, which implies that 92% have assimilated.  92% is a FAR cry from "not assimilating".

Why don't you actually answer the question at hand instead of providing links hoping I don't read them?

Do you have any statistics showing the percentage of Muslims that don't assimilate?

You're doing the same thing as qman - providing irrelevent links.

Why don't you quote the sentence from one of your links that supports your statement that police are too scared to go into Muslim neighborhoods?  You can read this while you're at it.

Education, religion, employment, dependency on the welfare state, elevated levels of criminality, language, separate housing and retail centers, ect. Even all the satellites for their TV's as they also reject European television.

I guess the most important aspect is to actually see it, I saw it many times in Europe. It's clearly the rejection of Western culture and society, it's as clear as day.

I'll say one thing about Hispanics and Blacks in the US, while they under-perform in most aspects of US society, they do NOT reject US culture, they embrace it.

And what percentage of Muslims don't assimilate by your own definition?  I've been to Europe many times myself because of my job in high tech, and I meet lots of very well paid Muslims in my industry - many of whom grew up in extremist countries.  Frankly, I'm surprised by the assimilation I see there.

I haven't been to Europe, but I've read about this issue over there. I haven't seen it with my own eyes, and I've read contradicting articles on the subject. However, I suspect that this is the case, because in my mind it makes more sense. I don't think that Muslims generally do assimilate. Not like afro-Americans or hispanics in America. Even here in America we have hispanic pockets, but they are generally friendly to American people in those areas.

I think poverty causes an increase in issues related to cultural diversity in America. Even in prison you see much stronger racial and cultural tension. People divide along these lines when they feel the need to protect themselves or their way of life from others.

As I said, I don't think cultural diversity is the problem, I think Islam is.

But lots of Muslims DO assimilate.  I've seen it.  The head of a very large research lab I visited in Belgium grew up in Iran, and the only reason I know it is because he misinterpreted a question I asked him, thinking I asked what country he was previously from, when I actually asked what company he was previously from.  You don't realize it when they dress in fancy business suits, are clean shaven, and blend into the population.  A small handful keep their old dress and traditions, and are more noticeable, so people assume the ones they notice represent everyone.

That's why I'm asking if qman has any statistics on how  many Muslims assimilate.  I think it's a LOT more than he realizes.

The fact that France needed a law to ban
face covering in public is also very telling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_ban_on_face_covering

One would think an outsider would be thankful for their presence in another peoples land and try to comply with their customs.

My brother's dad is a Muslim from Kuwait, who came to America to study architecture. He had a very difficult time assimilating, and it ended up being quite abusive to my mom, because of his Islamic attitude toward women. He moved back to Kuwait, and never finished college in America. All of his Muslim friends became heavy drug addicts, and ended up failing out of college and moving home. That's my little anecdote, for what it's worth.

I think you make a good point that when they do assimilate, people don't notice that they are Muslim immigrants. People only take notice of the ones who do not assimilate, and they become representative of the whole. However, this is true of any culture/religious subset, and Muslims are disproportionately understood to assimilate poorly into Western life over other migrant cultures.

Because it's caused a lot problems and was a major hurdle towards the path of reasonable assimilation.

So they can bomb us. And make more money. Hey don't have long range missile capabilities, and they don't get to fuck a den of virgin whores if they don't die in the process...

Getting to heaven is tricky business. First you must blow as many people as possible to hell, including yourself.

Go read a fucking quran, and stop bothering us with your inane questions.

Anyone who is dismissing candidates a year out from the election is naive

At this point, the polls really don't mean much, if that was the case, goodbye dems, trumps a hands down winner

He never said shit about the primaries! LMAO!

Seriously, how many people come from behind at the last minute? It never happens right? If not, then why even have elections? We could just place whoever is ahead in the polls at a certain time in office, it would save a lot of time and money...

You are absolutely right Polls don't mean a thing at this point.

EXCEPT, when you make a run at the top and fail.

How many from the last Prez primary went to the top, declined in the polls and were ever heard from again? Zippo, nada, Zero, null,...

He's down and he will be out

I just noticed that you had actually said 'they could still both be in the general'. I don't think you were being sarcastic, as that doesn't even make sense. Apparently you don't know the purpose of a primary election, and a general election. Only one of them could be in the general election, unless one of them goes independent, and then it doesn't matter, because they will just be destroying the R's chances of winning in the first place.
