mostly @ LeBrok, but relevant to earlier conversation... this is more the Canadian/US experience (well "Americans" who have a strong grasp on reality, not everyone will agree)...
Good questions... I saw another video where the car clearly drives past many people trying to stop it, before it squeezes though as seen in the video with the story... Thanks for the extra details... I did question the source (or any source with the kinds of links and related stories seen at...
I appreciate the continued dialogue...

That was not an April Fools' joke.

I can see you points about appeasement regarding Europe...
As far as the statement about having tried hands off, I think I agreed (or meant to) that even if we are doing that in a sense now, it followed a period that built a lot of mistrust... and that cannot be overlooked in analyzing the...
It might not be worth the bother....heh, I spent a long time being irate about those guys in my youth... too bad it's gotten so out of hand that Jeb seems like a more sane voice than the 2 GOP front runners, but that's totally off topic too...
Hope progress is possible.
And sometimes many eggs!
You come across as so rational that it would be hard to argue against you (but see if that stops me from chiming in! :))... I agree with almost all of this.
I don't really think the period of "hands off" has been tried, at least not by the US (but I agree 100% that...
^ It is scary, but statistically the threat is small... I know that is hardly a comfort, but it is a reality... Does that mean we should ignore the problem...? NO!!! (we accept the threat of shark attack and lightening strikes because we don't have the technology to stop them, or it would be...
^"ordinary Muslims should join non-Muslims, not the other way around"
Seems fair enough. It's not really time to be on the sidelines, that's for sure!
I can agree with this... It provides some insight into how many people around the world have had to live for a long time
In some ways it...
Things are understandably more strained in Europe... I just saw a video of a German mom portraying the gang beating of her son and failure by the police to react accordingly... Here in the US it is much more limited to verbal assaults, most of the time. I agree the Muslim world has to take a...
Thanks to this thread I found GEDmatch... that is about all I got done yesterday! Thanks guys!

^thanks bicicleur, I was not meaning to chime in on how funding is divided, just that having the attitude that integration is impossible is not helpful. I agree people have to choose to be integrated... Many "Germanic Americans" were neutral during the American Revolution because they had not...
^I understand your frustration, but hardline approaches may be counter productive (I was inclined to say "close-minded," but I prefer to assume you are not)... Explain a plan that will work, which assumes that integration is not possible... (without using conservative US rhetoric that involves...
Angela, you are indeed correct... It is so tragic, the number of deaths, and collateral deaths (including emergency personnel, who were irreparably harmed by the toxic dust and gas after the collapses and have died since) caused by those attacks... I still believe US foreign policy could have...
^doesn't sound good!
I am not qualified to answer this (Garrick's answer sounds good to me! But I am curious to research some)... You guys are obviously more aware of the current political landscape on your side of the pond... I feel like I have helped steer the conversation away from the...
