Religion being a "religion" is irrelevant to my points. Having the ability to indoctrinate people has nothing to do with belief in god or whatever else. Nationalism falls in the same category, I just didn't bring it up because it wasn't involved here. I didn't say anything about "what if religion didn't exist" You're too busy being offended to even consider the posts you're responding to. I even chose my wording very carefully to make sure I didn't get into a debate about religion itself. |
Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm often too lazy to explain this sort of thing to narrow-minded people like Skinny, so your comments and the one done by inv4zn in the other stupid christian sacrifice thread started by crackhead Ulic are greatly appreciated. |
And in other news, more shooting heard in Paris and police are evacuating people out of certain areas. |

If you took the time to consider what's being said, with an open mind, you might have been able to see what I've been getting at here. If there was a group of 30,000 atheist Germans around the world committing terrorist attacks against anyone who wasn't German would draw the exact same conclusions. Hating anyone because they're not like you fucking sucks. It doesn't matter if the tool you use is Islam or Christianity or any other religion. It doesn't matter if it's because of nationality or socio-economic status. This type of shit needs to stop for humanity to progress. But yeah, continue to harp about how much I hate religion. Let's just keep going around in circles about that. |

So let's see if I've got this straight: a small extremist faction is bombing and killing and maiming and doing all sorts of nasty shit, both at home and abroad, and when their countrymen decide to escape the madness for a better life, they should all be turned away because, well, they might be terrorists themselves because they share the same country and religion, right? That about cover it? Spoiler! |

We have to bring in 25k refugee by end of year. There is no way to possible run all the security checks to make sure they are safe. https://refugeeresettlementwatch.wor...tering-the-us/ and I qoute " FBI director James Comey said during a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing on Wednesday that the federal government does not have the ability to conduct thorough background checks on all of the 10,000 Syrian refugees that the Obama administration says will be allowed to come to the U.S." If the FBI admits they can't run all the security checks to ensure 10k refugee they bring in is no thread, how can we Canada ensure all 25k refugee we bring in are no thread to Canadians. We have less man power than the states, we are not as good as gathering inel as the US. Back in those country there are hardly any records of personal info. If we can't determine if they are the "small extremist faction is bombing and killing and maiming and doing all sorts of nasty shit, both at home and abroad" or the "same no thread citizen" we are putting our own citizens at risk. Why are we putting our citizens at risk when other countries who shares the same boarders with these refugee's countries refuse to let them in? Why is European nations tightening its restriction on refugees? |
^ Dude how many people enter Canada every single day from land, sea and air? How do we guarantee all those people don't have ill intent (with far less checking and random inspection I might add)? Don't be stupid. |
I really wonder about those who are complaining about the Syrian refugees coming to Canada had family immigrate to Canada as well? I know my family came here from eastern Europe after the end of WW2 and I'm so very thankful they had the opportunity. One thing that Makes Canada great is our multiculturalism and our willing to give people that have nothing the ability to come to a country to be able to live in equal freedom and peace. It really makes me sad seeing all of this hate and racism, thats not the mind frame that built Canada and helped make us one of the best countries on planet Earth. |

So why take the chance? Do the proper checks, help out people who are considered low risk, and it's all fine and dandy. Edit: Or don't. Start letting Brazilians in indiscriminately, and those little gang wars in Surrey will look like kids playing cops and robbers. That's the real risk. |
I simply do not trust people who display an inability or unwillingness to take a step back from their beliefs in the face of overwhelming fact. People of all religions, modern feminists, truthers, people who believe in ghosts/ouija boards/alien visitation, etc. - they all display irrational thought to some degree. Under the right circumstances, irrational thought can turn to dangerous levels, much like you see with these terrorists. If being distrustful of people who exhibit unshakeable irrational beliefs, from the clueless university social justice warrior to the ISIS sympathiser, makes me a bigot and not someone exercising common sense, then so be it.

"Hating anyone because they're not like you fucking sucks." Exactly, you said it right there, and it ends there. Whatever you want to discuss leads nowhere. Religions will continue to exist. They will bring hope to many but will lead certain people astray. I don't need to harp about how much you hate religion. You reek of hatred towards religion :rofl:. |
France just bombed ISIS stronghold French jets bomb Syria in the ISIS stronghold of Raqqa - CNN.com Spoiler! Also, saw this picture on Reddit: A picture inside one of the hospitals in Paris. http://i.imgur.com/vXX5Ckj.jpg Crazy. |
I wonder if any country will be willing to put boots on the ground. |

We can lower our risk by limiting the number of people from high risk country in and do a more through security check. Blindly accepting 25k refugee when you can't even screen legitimate people who apply to immigrant to Canada legally is just stupid. All the nearby countries isn't accepting any refugee is there something they know that we aren't aware? Why is all the European countries tighting their policy on refugee? Is it possible they too can't tell if the refugee actually trying to start a better life or they are terrorist simply trying to cause chaos. Why should we put our citizen at risk when we fully know the 25k refugee coming in won't be properly screen for security, or health? When we have the chance now to stop this from happening. |

Also, most of us wake up everyday knowing that there's a small chance we might die in a car accident, get hit crossing the street etc. We can accept that. We can't accept thinking that we might get bombed going to see a concert or eating at our favorite restaurants. And we certainly don't want it to be the norm like in other countries. Hence that's why people are discussing it. |

nice english dude, fuckin lol'd how long have u been in canada? |
the whole letting 25k people in over 6 weeks also makes an absolute sham out of the people who are legitimately trying to immigrate to this country. There was a story not too long ago of a man who owned a shwarma place, might have been downtown, cant remember. Anyways, the guy has moved here, established a successful business, built up roots, and has been trying for the last 2 years to bring at least portions of his family over to Canada. So a guy, who has legally migrated to Canada, worked his ASS off to make something of himself, and has taken all the proper avenues in order to bring his family over here has been in limbo for 2 years to bring a wife and young children over to Canada Yet.. we are willing to bring people, who in a lot of cases have absolutely no legitimate background records, coming from war torn areas known to willingly harbor 'extremists' and essentially open the gates for them, providing housing, social assistance, health care, etc. etc. in SIX WEEKS NO LESS? Jesus.. some people here sure are short sighted in their views.. Bleeding hearts claiming racism and bigotry over a call to judgement on having arguably the highest risk refugee's ever seen by the world basically skip all proper forms of emigration and be awarded a passport on arrival? Yes, Canada is a melting pot of cultures and peoples, and thats whats makes it so great. But as i said on the last page, this scenario is unlike one there has ever been. I know plenty of immigrants, and I myself am basically a 3rd generation Canadian on my fathers side. However, of all the immigrants i know, or am a part of. None have came to Canada this way. Not one person who ever came here from elsewhere and made something of themselves who i know was given a free pass. They scraped tooth and nail to become a Canadian citizen, worked harder than most people will ever know, and are PROUD of what they did and what they have become. PROUD to be a Canadian. Hand out free passes like it's a playland ride and healthcare to some guy who got on a boat to Europe because they knew hand-outs awaited them there? fuckk... Scary times. |
There's a difference between refugees and regular immigrants: we let refugees in on an expedited basis because we have reason to believe that they would face persecution or murder in their home countries. When it comes to refugees, it's a matter of life or death. The international community recognized long ago that refugees are particular cases that require special attention. Canada lets in far more immigrants under the regular streams than it does under the refugee stream. Many of the young men who have walked across Europe are looking for a better life, but if they had remained in Syria, they would have likely faced two choices - death, or joining ISIS. What would you prefer? HappySlip: The reason why Europe is "closing their borders" is because most European countries have integration issues rooted in historical xenophobia. Most immigrants live in ghettos and are not fully participating members of European societies (unless they're athletes). Canada does a far better job of integrating immigrants. Sure there are ethnic enclaves here, but most immigrants have a reasonable chance of success if they work hard and decide to become active in the wider community. |
I think Mr.Trudeau is going to have a wake up call real soon if he keeps going with the 25,000 refugee policy. Clearly being a "peoples PM" is clouding his judgement. #prayforcanada If French intel can't screen these folk, I highly doubt CSIS can do any better. |

One thing that has never added up for me is what exactly is ISIS? Or the so-called group of this Islamic state extremists? I've watched a few documentaries, read lots on the subject and the exact number or identity of the group is always so shrouded I do not know what to think. Earlier estimates had "ISIS" pegged at approx 30-100,000 individuals. More recent numbers seem to be closer to 300,000. While most news outlets will take a biased stance on the subject the majority of them seem to always describe Isis as this singular entity. They talk about them like they are this churning machine "Isis is making billions off oil sales" "Isis is funding their recruitment and armourment" "Isis has resources and liquidity" Some of the best run organizations in the world, operating in the most ideal situations possible, have trouble with the logistics and planning of the movement and delivery of a singular product. Yet I'm suppose to buy into the fact that some guys on humvees have the business of terrorism down to a well oiled machine? Hmm.. I don't know.. I'd say that it's fairly clear the individuals or groups involved in the terror attacks are small cells of the larger body acting almost strictly within themselves. They do not have "orders" from the higher ups, they have not received directives from other parties. They form plans and act on their own accord. Which in a lot of ways is what makes this whole thing that much scarier. There are not transmissions to intercept. There are not people coming from far away who are flagged prior. So, if the majority of attacks are done by these cells, and there are approx 300,000 members basically running free shot over Syria etc and "forcing" these people to leave, this isn't somthing that can be handled via military force? Obviously the general public will never be let into the intimate details, however just on the surface I beleive there is far more out there than the public has any idea. A big thing for me is Russia's involvement. Yes, they seemingly have personal interests in the regions and the groups involved, however as has been well documented, over the past few months Russia has been bombing the fuck out of the region. Cruise missiles from sea like the one that fell into Iran are bombarding the hot areas. U.S. Media seems to bring it up with a negative spin, however Obama and others seem to stay tight lipped, almost as to say, go ahead, keep doing it so we don't have to get our hands dirty and see where it takes us. It's all very confusing and in the dark to me, and I've read and learned quite a bit on it and almost everything to do with it is an unknown |
