[grease lightnin]

Already have BTC futures locked in. Plus I am a broke dikk points fukk. I am honest if one thing.

Notice I said EVEN. Which would put you at an extreme disadvantage considering the current odds.

Did I take the bet?

Pretty sure I said declined

Did you want me to break down the odds? Jesus Christ

[grease lightnin]

Didn't he say from specific cpuntries,unless you want America to turn into another France,you should listen to the man.

No. On Dec 7th, he called for a complete shutdown on Muslims entering the US.

There are already extremely rigorous processes in place to weed out potential terrorists entering the US.

Yea, you declined. My point is that your statement was like a Trumps wins -1000 statement.

Too confident was all I was saying.

[packerd_00]

You ever looked at the French statistics for Muslim Prisoners,I couldn't believe it,9% of the population and 70% of the prisoners.

[grease lightnin]

temporarily. Until they can figure out what's going on. Smart is you ask me. Europe wishes they could make their decision all over again.

So I guess you think we should put people like the Khans in concentration camps until we "figure out what's going on"?

Id heard recently he changed his tune abit.

I hear you. I don't know much about the situation in France, but we don't have that problem here. We must not be letting that element in, as France is.

[grease lightnin]

Well of course. He always does. But his hair-trigger mouth and temperment does not belong in the white house.

Fair enough

Can't argue with that

Did you ask them all yourself?

Temporarily suspend the constitution, because you watch too much media that sensationalizes every single terror attack...

[chico2663]

I would have thought the same thing, but then some guy on the internet said that Donald Trump is afraid to debate Hillary Clinton ... so that must be what's going on.

Same guy a month ago said DJT had no chance and would point to polls. Today instead of pointing at polls he points at bookmakers to say DJT has no chance.

Trump landslide trending.

If your talking about me your dead wrong. Trump at first said he wouldn't touch s.s. and being old he was the best of republicans for my design. But kasich said he is going to let v.p. run it so I'm not sure how that is going to go.

[chico2663]

It is because we try to let muslims be as good as they can be. We don't put them in a certain part of neighborhoods.

Mabye if it was your family or friends that were killed you'd feel differently. Who cares as long as it's not you right? You sound nuttier than the Snickers I just ate.....

It's not about "feelings", its about what is right and wrong. America isn't a country that abandons our values the second we are threatened by our enemies.

[chico2663]

I lost

I lost friends in 911 and I still believe that you treat people how they treat you. I have been bitten by a dog when i was younger but i still like dogs. Before some idiot says I'm calling muslims dogs that isn't what i'm saying. I've wrecked cars. Doesn't mean I want to give up cars. But if you guys are so scared just kill yourself. That way you don't have to worry about muslims. I hope my nephews don't grow up to be scaredy cats like some of you.

One very valid point, add to that when immigrants come to the USA they are allowed to simulate and most do. They are encouraged to simulate, learn our culture, learn our language, be involved in our schools, churches and other religious institutions. Also we as a nation did not colonize many of these countries so the resentment factor against the USA is usually lower. We as a country have made some horrendous mistakes but when it comes to immigration our mistakes are usually lesser in nature and severity than many of our European allies. Whether that was simply luck or intelligent planning is up for debate.

funny you speak of values while having a Crooked Hilary avatar

maybe you should check all the "fact checkers," concerning statements made by HC and DT and decide who is the "crooked" one?

[Itsamazing777]

Difference between being scared and smart. And if it's not about feelings than why are your feelings hurt by trumps truth about illegals, and SOME Muslims?

Because I served my country so that everyone is free. This isn't nazi germany. When I was 20 years old we used to have a thing called m80's.I watched as my friends husband put one of those inside oversize green bean can. When it exploded it threw a piece of metal that cut his throat from a distance of 20 yards. No one is promised tomorrow. I had a friend die from having a heartattack from screwing a broad. Another had a stroke taking a shit. When it is your time than it is your time. If you go through life worried about shit than you won't be able to live your life. I had a friend that every time he drank rye on the adkins diet he get in a fight. I begged off and he got killed. Another time i was 5 minutes late meeting a friend because i was getting blown by this philippina and he left the bar and wrecked. Life is life. Enjoy it

That's a load of crap, Muslims stick with Muslims and they wanna congregate in their own little sectors.. Most ethnic cultures do that in foreign Countries....

As a Muslim you have all the freedoms in Europe as you do in America.. These Muslim refugees should by extremely grateful considering where they came from and the poverty and hardships they were facing.

They should conform to the laws of the land and try and contribute to the Western society.... Instead many commit crimes, many commit sexual crimes against women, many or most try and want to enforce Shari law, many despise and hate the western cultures and freedoms and won't ever adapt and make change...

It blows my mind that any Country in the world would let in any of the Muslim refugees from the Middle East..

It's such a risk taking in any of them on so many levels.. Our current leaders don't see it that way and it's putting their own people at risk... Shame on those leaders!!!!! Shame on Hillary and Obama as well for wanting to get on board with that..

I had my spleen removed and went through a very difficult time that made me appreciate life


Not scared at all, just seems smart to take measures to prevent people from dying. Can't just say that's life, o well, to avoid hurting someone's feelings. I guess we will have to disagree, but that's the beauty of America.

[packerd_00]

I think a lot of it stems from Colonizing North Africa,that ended up being a big mistake in hindsight.

bibby how many muslims you know? i am friends with the ones from jordan that started goldstar. Went to college with them. When i got in riffs in college they had my back. When I worked at monumental life most of my bosses had mba and were muslims. Hung out with them all the time. I'm not disagreeing with the syrian situation but the ones i worked with loved america. But then again these guys were making 200 thousand a year. A friend of mine who I hooked up with his wife in college owns 5 gold starts and make 500,000 a year.

Hmm. Interesting. Kinda like how America made a mistake with slavery?

[chico2663]

pack I think we discussed a lot of britains problem were people that came from your colonies. Than the took over neighborhoods. They really don't take over neighborhoods here except in dearborn mich. But from what the cops say they are pretty good unless you screw with them in dearborn.Not saying we don't have nutballs but we have them also in right wing, left wing and black communities.

[dante1]

Hmm. Interesting. Kinda like how America made a mistake with slavery?

yep, a correlation could be drawn. I wrote in another thread, or maybe this one, not sure. That we as a nation have made many mistakes (USA) slavery being probably the worst. But, we have made plenty of other errors. The one place we didn't completely fck up was immigration. We as a nation were more open than most European nations. After all, it was self interest, we were a nation of immigrants. And yes, each new group of immigrants had problems but those problems were mostly from the immigrants who came right before them. And when the newest batch of immigrants assimilated things worked out best for all.

This naturally is an oversimplification but it has merit.

[15805]

Valid point...many Muslim wives aren't allowed to speak over their husbands. Not sure how strict that family is...Pakistani roots so Trump might actually be right. I agree with you that whether or not she was allowed to speak doesn't fit into the argument but again....read what I said to begin with. Not get off on tangents...I like to stick to specifics.

When you consider that more Muslims in USA uniforms killed more of our soldiers than the
number of more or less patriotic Muslims who died for our country, you wonder why
Mrs. Clinton wanted this argument in the first place. Let's not 'erect a cathedral' around one
Muslim patriot.

[dante1]

lol you're like a broken clock grease. Here comes the "just as I thought" response. Funny you think no one else has seen you get buried over and over by me yet I can bring up example after example.

this is his response every time when asked to show one victory against anybody. I will tell you this, as true as Trump is an idiot, this lad has never, once defeated any single person in any single argument or discussion. He never, let me repeat NEVER, lists facts, or studies, or stats or anything logical in his arguments. In fact, he rarely presents an argument. He simply makes derogatory statements about his opponent and claims victory in debates that never happened.

I personally destroyed him in every single encounter as did K and every other person in this forum.
