    Well I guess this is argument in favor of we being able to help them there.
    How in the world is that in regards to ANYTHING I said? You're REALLY making things up now and putting a lot of words in my mouth that I've not even implied. I didn't comment on her looks. I didn't say she's wrong. In fact, why am I even having to explain this to you again? What I wrote should be crystal clear.

    You've so far failed to maintain any argument. YOu just refute points over and over without basis or support and now you seem intent on trying to dismiss it completely. It also seems like you're projecting things onto me that I've got nothing to do with.

    Well now I know you're lying and not serious. But it's nice that you've thrown away the pretense and facade. Good night.

    Well they're right. Refugees are not terrorists.

    Allowing refugees increases the risk of terrorists getting in, but to antagonize the vast majority of people - desperate for peace - seeking asylum is a little bit close minded, no?

    Well it isn't. It seems you are just downplaying my argument about how people are usually attached to their country and they rather say and fight for own freedom. Also most Syrian refugees photos I saw, show young man, which probably imply that women there are more proud and honorable, because they stay there and fight ISIS.

    Terrorism isn't really as big of an issue as everyone makes it out to be.

    Didn't seem to stop you mentioning numbers in the OP. So numbers don't scare you when making claims, but they do scare you when you need to use them to back up your claims.

    No, they just scare me when they are big and there is many of them. Like statistics people keep asking me about. But you are welcome to post whatever you find.

    I could live with allowing all people seeking refuge from war to apply for room to live once they reach a safe haven, preferably as close to where they used to live so that they can help rebuild their country once the danger has gone away. Is that so weird? If it takes too long for the danger go away, they could stay as a permanent citizen if they are willing to adapt to their host's values and not be hostile towards the "native" culture.

    What I don't support is the current mass industry of dumping mostly economic refugees in rubber dinghies just off the coast where they'll be picked up by one of the rescue ships. Smugglers are all too keen to take advantage of this. It's gone so far now that people are actually gambling on the support boats to pick them up, because those dinghies are death traps that couldn't cross a river. Once they reach the mainland of Europe, which is already a safe haven for 99.5%, they still choose to travel on towards richer countries. Be glad you reached somewhere safe instead of trying to exploit the european system for economic gain.

    As for the terrorism part, screening should definitely be improved, but I'd say the most dangerous ones atm are the homebrew radicalists, often converts.

    Not sure why Youtube feels the need to mix into this debate or who paid for the video. George Soros?

    It's not, it's the fanfare around it. It's unexpected and makes you feel vulnerable. It makes you feel relatable with the victims and so it creates terror. Hence the word terrorism.

    Just like taking a plane is not dangerous. It's less dangerous than taking a car by far, but you'll see way more people afraid of planes than cars. It's because you're vulnerable and the event is unexpected. Again, it makes you feel relatable - what if it was me? - or something along the lines of "oh god he must've suffered so much".

    Add to this the fact that some people are afraid of a literal takeover (which cannot reasonably happen ever in a modern society) and you've got a social issue on your hands.

    Although I have to give the point that I wouldn't like living in France and UKs right now.

    Hm, torn. On one hand the statistics are with the people, the chance you die in a terrorist attack is still extremely small. On the other hand I (EU, Netherlands) definitely feel more vulnerable when attending a large event these days, and I can see the security at these events has increased tenfold aswell. That occasionally leads to longer queues/bag controls/etc. which is a minor discomfort. On some level, I could claim that terrorism has indeed impacted my life. It won't stop me from attending any events, but it's definitely a cause for concern, irrational though it might be.

    I'm sad to see that these attacks are actually having an impact. Is this the European equivalent to 9/11?

    End of video shows this

    Around the world, over 65 million people have been forced from their homes.
    It is horribile, but it do not mean that we should take all of those 65 million people to Europe, and it seems this is what this video is hinting about.

    Well I was sad as well when USA started war with Iraq after 9/11. I think this is reason why terrorism is so widespread right now. Why they didn't worked with Iraq gov to capture Al-Qaeda folks instead?

    The video has 65k likes and 167k dislikes. I'd say that's about right.

Well at least it looks like people around the world do not buy to this video (while I was typing this post video had ~150k dislikes to ~60k likes). Don't buy into cheap lies friends!
    1. You ARE aware that "propaganda" has a specific definition other than "arguments I don't like", right?
    2. Why are you trying to censor YouTube? That sounds like political correctness to me.
    3. What is your factual basis for saying anything in this video is false?

    Because right-wingers were so fucking afraid of the 3vil Mooslims, that they were fine with just kill any indiscriminately.

    So...it was your fault.

    I don't really care that much about the video. I mean, it's a refugee organization talking about refugees, oh noes the dare!

    But I think it's kinda sad that Youtube deleted many comments disagreeing with the video, even ones that weren't your typical troll/racist/pol comments. But hey, it's their plataform.

    Well ofc they can talk about what they want, but I think you have to agree that people are entitled to be mad because it is not first time someone want to paint every refugee as saint.

    BTW I just read video's description:

    Featured creators:
    The Young Turks: www.youtube.com/theyoungturks
    well nothing speaks louder about 'freedom and equality' than people that deny (or condone) genocide by using "Young Turks" as name.

    Youtube has some magic tools they pull out on occasion to rectify such things. It's certainly a database error.

    This is the evil leftist propaganda organisation in question:

    The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a global humanitarian aid, relief, and development nongovernmental organization. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers emergency aid and long-term assistance to refugees and those displaced by war, persecution or natural disaster. The IRC is currently working in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities where it resettles refugees and helps them become self-sufficient. The President of the International Rescue Committee is former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband.

    Stay classy.
