    No, it actually was for freemen. That's literally one of the passages, one of the first rights, that you cannot be held prisoner without proper trial. I just looked it up dude, do not make me educate you about your own constitutional history. I know little enough about British history as it is, I don't mind digging deep just to prove you wrong. :P

    We did what we could. We spent a fuckton of money trying to build them up and give them a good start and the means to defend themselves so they can continue. And they failed.
    I think you have got me on the wrong side of this debate i am not some loony left hippy I just want a perfect scientific way to prove that these people and their ways are not as good as our own.

    Oh and before some loony jumps down my neck saying I am only doing this because i am racist or any buzzword you loonys make up i just dont want to be thrown off a roof for being gay.

    Why aren't you interested in the idea to remove the ideological arguments for recruitments? To rob the motivation to join them? Oh, right, because that's so much more difficult and actually requires the courage to suffer more of these attacks while you actually integrate people into the nation (or ship them back, whatever).
    I am not talking about the refugees/immigrants in Europe. I am talking about Syria. You can do whatever the hell want with people in Europe. What you suggest is applicable to people in a healthy environment (e.g., Europe, and not Rakka). How are you going to stop ISIS using human resources in Syria? The ISIS territories are resources for the organization. Those territories must be taken back and their army-like forces must be annihilated.

    Stop here, the are plenty of poor people who never blow themselves up - The problem is not social injustice, its belief in a religion that mandates holy war.
    Perhaps do something about that as well. Why do people think we keep shoving money up people's asses.
    because we think its a social injustice problem, and that it can be solved with money, neither is true.
    Do they think we literally breed golden cows somewhere and have too much money to go around? People much smarter than any of us have actually put a lot of thought into the actions we're doing.
    No they really haven't - They are using the same playbook as they did 50 years ago - regardless of its merits then, it is clearly not working now.

    There is only one way to stop this shit - and its to make all immigrants, be natives in mind and thought, I.E assimilation, which neatly solves all problems.
    Those are the only ways out of this, Assimilation, Deportation, or extermination.
    I think options two is bad, and option three unpalatable.
    So lets go with option one - Assimilation, whether they like it or not.

    That's why we go over each individuals situation before granting them asylum, which is why it's taking time to process everyone. I want them to analyze each refugees psyche too, but imagine adding that on top of everything else. Just going through asylum applications would take years and everyone naturally object to the outcome if its not in their favor. Making it take even longer. It's not something you fix over night.

    It works out.
    This is an argument for entirely dismantling the welfare system.

    Make it simple, if they complain then you automatically decline their application

But it's nothing we can just BAN over night, who takes the decision? Some don't even want to ban the beggars, why should they not be heard?
    If they don't like the conditions how about send them back were they came from. Clearly they liked their lot back home, you said Europeans are getting played and bilked for all your worth.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.

    It would take me literally a minute to dig up something like civil liberties for England... hang on.

    I mean, it's complicated as fuck because... Empire I guess, but it's there if you look for it.

    Most of the Magna Carta was repealed before the ink was wet, only a couple of passages survived until the present day and I ma not even sure which Magna Carta they survived from as we had a few.

    It sure would be nice to get some moderation in here and get the conversation directed to the actual topic. But, this is mmoc, the moderators are probably off somewhere huffing glue at the water cooler.

    Good luck. Aside from making them actual Borg drones, you'll still have a lot of convincing to do. Which is what we're trying to do. And which takes time. The damage is already done within society. It'll take a generation to get it out of the system.

    You racist Que...oh hold on. What is the hierarchy of protected classes again?

    Okay sorry bud. You are below Muslims. You are fair game here.


    lol. I kid of course. I just wanted to poke fun on that shitty situation. People have decided that walking on eggshells as to not offend certain demographics trumps expressing sheer outrage of the orlando shooting. My heart truly goes out for you guys. I'll take the world turning gay over worrying about offending some dead terrorist anyday.

    Not much news trickling in other than body counts. There's only so much you can talk about what is essentially public knowledge by now.

    It's not easy getting the public on board. You'd not believe this but the majority (yea still) wants immigration and want to help refugees. If we would start sending people home for complaining shit would get real. I don't disagree, but it's not possible in a country where the former vice PM cried when we closed our borders. Some are just really into this whole saving everyone shit.
