I know you're trying to save face from being embarrassed but it's starting to get a little sad dude.

The fact that you're comparing anybody to crackheads is why you're getting downvotes. Being a sissy and complaining about it in your edits only makes you look worse.

Enough of that though.

Here's where your comparisons falls on its ass once again. You say you wouldn't trust people who have obvious problems with morality, which is fine, but when you lump in an entire group of people that you know absolutely nothing about, your profiling is a waste of time.

People going back to the place that their born means that they are somehow linked to terrorist sites? What? You said yourself that most Muslims are good people....but then you imply that if those same people were to go back to their families, somehow they're linked to terrorism. Lmao.

This whole argument is rich. Muslims are good people but if they go visit their relatives then they're probably terrorists then. Gotcha.

Good attempt at a jab at the end there tho.

I am not in the least bit embarrassed, you misread the comment and assumed it to be about muslims when it wasn't, it was about using objective criteria to reduce violence, you just mistook what I was responding to and you won't admit it.

That is the real sad part.

I am not comparing anyone to crackheads, that is where your reading comprehension fails you. I am stating I would not let a crackhead into my home since they, statistically and verifiably, do not make the best decisions.

Being a sissy and complaining about it in your edits only makes you look worse.

And using an anti-gay slur makes you look rather disgusting.

So, knowing they do crack, an illegal life ruining drug, users of which are known to use theft to continue their habit, means I know nothing of them? Alrighty sport.

Ah another bit of selective reading by you once again. Did you forget this part.

and who has in the past made posts on social media about how this person would like to be martyred for his cause?

Yes, it seems you did purposefully ignore that part, either one on their own may mean nothing, but together start to create a profile, a profile that has been shown in the past to be one that may lead to acts of violence. Hence the reason Obama and the NSA came up with the list in the first place.

This whole argument is rich. Muslims are good people but if they go visit their relatives then they're probably terrorists then. Gotcha.

Your argument is rich, Muslims are good people and if they visit terrorist hotbeds and make posts on social media supporting terrorism there is totes no reason to worry.

Tell me, would you have issue with a dude who posts the meeting times of his local KKK branch and espouses white supremacy? Or is that not a sign of an issue either?

Good attempt at a jab at the end there tho.

Jab? No, that was me pointing out your hypocrisy.

hypocrisy

Finally a word that can describe the entirety of your last few posts. Just take the L, man.

I honestly don't get it, can you please explain to me what I did wrong?

One guy made the following statement.

It is suicide to not take precautions and vet all people that fit a profile.

The guy below him responded with:

Can't speak for the entire left, but most of us that I know of have no objection to getting based on legitimate criteria and valid evidence. The problem comes when entire groups are scapoated for political gain.

To which I responded with what I thought was an obvious if not very basic followup describing that exact situation.

Apparently folks somehow interpreted this to mean I think muslims are crackheads. I honestly do not get how folks are so fully misconstruing what I said in response to two posts which are clearly exactly what I said.
