See #78. Please feel free to write another essay, in response.
You are keen observer, indeed.
Thank you, professor rlmorel.
To be honest, I cannot understand the point you wish to make with either the post at #25 or your recent post to me at #79. May I ask you two questions?
Question #1: Do you believe that American citizens should have a say about who is admitted into this country as either a refugee or immigrant, and what the process should be, or do you believe decisions regarding the refugee/immigration process should be a mandate from the executive branch of the government?
Question #2: Do you believe America (or any sovereign nation) is under an obligation to accept refugees regardless of any concerns about the safety of doing so? If so, from where does that obligation come from?
Let's engage in some civil discourse.
This isn't a trick, a trap, or anything like that. I am not interested in playing those types of games, but I am genuinely curious about both your answers to my two questions, and your comment about animalism at post #25 in response to post #20.
I may or may not agree with the premise by Freeper freespirit2012 in post #20, since I am not convinced that anything we do from strength or weakness in the West is likely to help us find common ground with Islam (I have reached the point where I feel that dealing from strength as an adversary is going to be our only choice) but I did not think freespirit2012's post merited what appeared to be a derogatory response you answered with.
