You still haven't answered my question, Faith:
What percentage of the population of Europe (assume the European Union) is Muslim?
You keep using that word, "flood."
I do not think it means what you think it means.
Remember, Faith, Sweden's crime rates have been flat since 2005...years before they started taking in refugees...the most of any country per capita. More than 15% of Sweden's population is foreign born.

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.

why men can't piss sitting down explained by a Conservative Christian
Here is the text of the current Texas Senate Bill 6 that passed committee yesterday and will go before the floor for vote.
quote:
After the lengthy public testimony, the Texas Senate State Affairs Committee voted around 5 a.m. Wednesday to advance the bill to the full Senate. The margin was 7-1.
Senate Bill 6, as it's officially known, would require all Texans to use the bathroom that corresponds to the sex on their birth certificates in public schools and in government-funded buildings. The state bill would also overrule any local anti-discrimination laws that allow lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.
That latter part of the bill would overrule protections for sexual orientation and gender identity in several cities, including San Antonio, Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin.
In other words, it does not matter if you can pass, it will be a criminal offense to use the bathroom where you and everyone else would feel comfortable and instead would force people to use the bathroom that will make everyone uncomfortable.
The NC Laws are similar.
This is the issue Faith.
The claimed basis for such legislation is yet another fantasy of the Christian Right.
quote:
Republican state Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, who wrote the Texas legislation, said it is not meant to target transgender individuals. Rather, it targets people who may use anti-discrimination laws as cover, she said.
"I have to say that while many have made this about a transgender bill, it's more about someone that will use this bill as an excuse to go into the most intimate places we find ourselves in," Kolkhorst said, according to The Texas Tribune.
That is such a stupid comment and a falsehood. While the claim might be made that it does not target transgender individuals that is the only population it would effect.
quote:
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a conservative Christian group, also testified at the hearing, saying the bill would protect the safety and privacy of women and children while in locker rooms, bathrooms or changing rooms.
"The reason we have separate 'boys' rooms' and 'girls' rooms' is not because their 'gender identities' are different or their 'gender expression' is different," Perkins said in the testimony posted on his group's website. "It is because their basic physical anatomy is different."
Yup. And that is why men cannot piss sitting down.

... If someone who looked like a woman walked into the men's bathroom it would freak me out, no matter what was under the clothes or what sex they thought they were.
So now we are defined by clothes and appearances? There is a guy in town that prefers to wear dresses, says they are more comfortable. He has long hair, and a beard (must be a pacifist?) ...
Not that there's anything wrong with that ...
The simple solution is sexual freedom and unisex bathrooms.

I said women, children and families, but I should have been more clear. The point I meant to emphasize is that families make up a significant portion of immigration. You can see that families must represent a significant proportion of immigration into Europe in this graph:
This is for 2015 immigration into Europe and can be found at this webpage. Notice the number of children, and that the number of males and females is approximately equal.
And yes you did attack me personally, a scathing attack...Message 157, Message 171...
I can think of only one reason why someone would think calls for compassion, empathy and truth were a scathing attack. And you're the one holding yourself up as an icon of victimhood and Christian belief. If you don't want to get called on it then don't claim it.
You're the one who can't judge the videos, they aren't that difficult...Otherwise I know what the videos are about even if you don't, so I'll post them. Somebody will get it though you and most others here won't because you don't want to.
There you go making your own attacks again, accusing people of willful misinterpretation. No, Faith, you do not know the provenance of the videos. You don't know who made them or who is in them. You don't know how much truth or falsity they contain. Provenance is why people rely on the mainstream media. Like McDonald's, they may not be exactly what you want, but at least you know what you're getting. With your videos you have no idea.
If you don't like what I post suspend me.

Why do I have to put up with opinions about me personally that I find so odious and false? Who do you think you are?
The videos show very few women and children. One after another shows young men involved in violent acts, running through the streets, assembled en masse. Some are on audio calling for the destruction of Europe in Arabic. The problem is simply that you don't want to believe it, you want to believe the propaganda that says all is well. I wonder when the truth will finally hit you. Yes you do have to put some trust in the video makers and I guess you won't do that. People are taking pictures with their cameras trying to get the information out. How are they going to be convincing with someone like you? What evidence could they provide under the circumstances? All they can do is take the pictures and tell you what they are pictures of.
I don't even know the "religion" of these people you say? Again, you do have to believe what the video maker is saying. I see no reason for anyone to make this up but of course the Left has to think it isn't true so they must have made it up. Anyway, this video shows a lot of Arabic talk about destroying Europe, a lot of "Allahu Akbar" and that sort of thing. And the crowds are all young men.

No, Faith, you are either a liar or incredibly easy to manipulate and incapable of presenting reputable evidence. For example, one of your videos features "Muslims attacking a Christmas tree." This didn't happen; this is reality distortion. The actual event took place in a Cairo mall, and it wasn't even an anti-Christmas affair. See here: http://www.snopes.com/offended-muslims-attack-christmas-tree
You have repeatedly been shown to lack the ability to discern good sources of evidence from laughably ridiculous sources of evidence, so where's the work ethic, Faith? Why don't you put in the work to actually vet your sources?

I am more and more believing we are being Poe'd by Faith. No one could be this utterly clueless and still be able to make it through life.
Could they?
I am done feeding the troll.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

I have not said one bigoted or racist thing here ever.
I admit to being a racist. Racism is natural. It's the result of evolution. When a person of colour does something I don't like, my knee-jerk reaction is, "Stupid nigger."
But I don't THINK racist. Rationally, I can overcome my reptilian origins (to some extent). Logically, I decide that the problem isn't him, it's me.
As a dyed-in-the-wool racist, I'm amused when I hear people denying that they're racist. It's just that - denial. They're not upset about BEING racist. They're just upset about being caught.

The rule that you want, where people use the bathroom where they best "fit in", was pretty much the Obama set of guidelines. Trump issued an executive order rescinding those guidelines. You truly don't see a problem that the guidelines you think made the most sense are now gone?
They're not gone. You can download them here from justice.gov.
Title IX still exists as law and has not changed. The guidelines still exist, and didn't add anything to the law anyways.
What happened was the feds backed off from over-reaching. Minus one point from totalitarianism. Where's the problem?
Unless totalitarianism is a tactic of the Left?

That's right. The feds left it to the states to be totalitarian and to dictate where no dictation is necessary.
Seriously. How is respecting individual rights an example of totalitarianism? The result of the feds butting out is that BS over-reaching state laws that prevent local governing are in effect.

So the bill wasn't passed? So nothing should have changed about people being able to fit into whatever bathroom they prefer, no?
Well, no. Because the state of Texas responded by crafting a state law to outlaw similar ordinances in cities that had passed laws similar to the ordinance in Houston. The state law would require that folks use the bathroom based on what is on their birth certificate. In addition, to make clear that it is not just about using the bathroom, the new bill would prevent cities from passing anti-discrimination ordinances of any type or scope.

Re: The racism is all coming from the Left
All you have to do is take your business elsewhere, nobody's forcing you to use a Christian business or agree with them.
"You can just take your business elsewhere, boy, nobody's forcing you to use a whites-only business."
Yeah, that's what you sound like.
That's not really a fair comparison. Jim Crow Laws were just that; laws. They were put on by the state, not the capitalists. Businesses had to comply with them.
"Take your business elsewhere" is the only response we need to this perceived discrimination. We do not need a state involved. Capitalism would sort it out.
Capitalists don't care about your religion or skin color, they just want your money.
And the people don't want to give their money to bigots, so businesses will naturally not discriminate or they will go out of business.
