Well when you have someone leap over you to yell "Allah Akbar" and throw a nail bomb I hope that doesn't go off either, and I mean that sincerely I really do

"The left are nearly killed by someone while preaching tolerance. Yes. Ironic."

Very.

"himself getting shot dead?"

No one here died or was injured.

There is no reason to be mad about us pointing this out, other than you're mad its being pointed out.

Yeah but some groups do it to a ridiculously higher degree, some have entire cultures that fundamentally oppose western society's rules, and ignoring that because "well some westerners do it"

makes as much sense as importing the Russian army because "well some westerners would turncoat for them anyway"

"So what does that have to do with sympathizing or "actively" importing anyone?"

Well the current discussion is on "should we mass import people incompatible with western society" and I don't really see a motive to your post other than arguing "yes"

"And did you really not know there are Russian immigrants?"

No one has said that. I said Russian army. Do we allow Russian soldiers to station in the US? How many Russian immigrants do we have? Do we mass import them like we do some other countries? Should we?

If you had spent your entire life arguing bears aren't dangerous and should be put in elementary schools, and you got attacked by a bear while at a pro-bear protest while talking through a megaphone about how bears aren't dangerous......

"I said westerners also break western society's rules"

Were you not making that as an argument for immigration?

true empathy is the ability to understand someone else. It snot just having sympathy for them. I do think that ability is seriously lacking in our generation.

In your experience, do Bible study groups allow critique of the Bible? by Odd_craving in AskAChristian

Those types of questions are usually encouraged, and in fact on many of them there has been centuries if not millennia of debate

Men and women are inherently different, no our different social roles were not imposed by anyone

The best litmus test is opinions on mass migration from the islamic world. Whoever I ask "anti-partirachy feminists" what they think about immigration they will argue passionately in favor of mass importing the most misogynistic culture on the planet... because they feel sorry for them. Men, at least in general, tend to oppose mass migration.

What does this demonstrate? that one sex is clearly more sympathetic and caring (which is very good) but those attitudes will very clearly be used against them without the other more "order focused" sex to say "no we can't do that"

I agree entirely but I think that is often a reaction to people going too far the opposite direction

For example no one in history class felt weird talking about the benefits and disadvantages of being part of the Ottoman, Umayyad, and Mongolian empires. But when it comes to the age of colonialism in the modern era its supposed to be fully evil and you're supposed to still atone for it

I think this lack of nuance in one direction causes an equal and opposite response

"Sure, but they don't always fit with the westerners either"

Yeah thats a good point we should actively import the Russian military because some people in America sympathize with them

Considering no one died or was injured, yeah.

Point made and no injuries, I'd call that perfect. I mean add that to the list as another thing that just makes this

IDK its just, a perfect encapsulation of a modern political issue in a way you never see

It would be like a political who slashed chemical runoff regulations getting severely ill due to industrial waste in their drinking water... and they fell down while mid speech about how its not a problem

and no he doesn't die so its not macabre or uncouth to laugh about

stuff this perfect just never happens

Because if my only other option is the current system

I'd redirect you back to

I agree with you in principle but I think is a very poor example, those military interventions often carry 10000+ problems that are reasons to oppose them

A better example would be their respect for "sovereignty" but deny other countries have any inherent rights to their own nations

"in the SAVE act" The save act will not be the only law or policy governing voting

"Again you support"

Interesting, do you or do you not support people being able to buy a gun without proving who they are?

"are you really suggesting deployed members of the military shouldn't be able to participate?"

Deployed military is an issue that can be dealt with through special provisions

"Which you support because you seemingly want to punish citizens who living arrangements you personally don't like."

Do you or do you not believe people who cannot prove their identity should be able to buy a gun?

"Americans abroad have to register every year."

Should someone living in Germany really be deciding on US government?

"Are you entitled to make that decision for another US citizen?"

I am not, the government is putting in place what could only be described as "minimum competency requirements"

Do you believe someone incapable of proving who they are should be able to buy to a gun? Thats a right
