Well I can guarentee it has effected everyone in the country, I just can’t specify how. If we never went to war then tax money would have been spent on other areas, road mantainance, hospitals, ect. If you use any service provided by the government then it would have been affected by this.

I’m not playing at being a politician, but I don’t see…[Read more]

I’m pretty sure it probably has done.

I haven’t seen a single news story about it, where do you get your news from?

You didn’t notice the wars in Iraq and Afganistan we were drawn into, and the increace in terrorism and refugees that resulted from it?

It still affects us though.

My definition of sexism is the same as my definition of racism, which is to say one race/gender is superior to another one, or to grant special privileges based on a person’s race/gender. Well it isn’t crushing to this young woman at least, I don’t know what else I can say on this particular issue.

Yeah, but refugees and immigrants are…[Read more]

If your post was meant as sarcasm, then I misread it and I appologise.

No, i’ve actually done that before, lol.

Not all people are radicalised from mosques, self radicalisation from online materials published by groups like ISIS is also another common cause. I don’t think trying to ban this would be effective, as people will still find a way to view them if they are motivated to do so. I don’t know how much of the radicalisation an ivestment ban would…[Read more]

Can you name a specific example of him being racist? I would perhaps also say I’ve never seen him be sexist either, he seems to habit of insulting women based on their appearance, but I would not classify this as sexism personally. Clinton on the other hand did say something that was sexist during the debate. She criticised Trump for saying…[Read more]

I reply to your posts when I can read them, lol.

I don’t have any short term plans yet, but I think the most important thing in the long term would be to ban foreign investment in religious institutions. A lot of the radicalised Muslims seem to have links to mosques that have recieved Saudi and Qatari funding in exchange for teaching Whahabi / Salafi intepretations of the Quran. I think this…[Read more]

I’ll take that as a compliment, I guess.
Thanks!

Huffington Post is pretty aweful to be honest, at lot more left leaning than The Sun is though.

I don’t really like to assume what is in peoples heads when they speak, maybe he ment mexicans, maybe he ment hispanics. Neither of us can say definitively what he was trying to say. I don’t even think he does half of the time.

Personally I find his comments towards women to be that harmful, I can understand why some people would though. Most…[Read more]

No offence taken, but I prefer to analyse things to determine if my beliefs are the correct ones, which I why I make these long posts here.

Xenophobia would perhaps be appopriate, not sure why I didn’t think of it. Perhaps Trump is racist, but nobody seems to be able to provide concrete evidence that he is, which was the original point I was making. I think we will disagree somewhat on the issue of Xenophobia, other cultures have problems (ours does of course also) and I don’t think…[Read more]

I disagree with you here, the only thing racism is connected to is race. Other usages of the word racism are often used to shield people like radical islamists from critisism, and I am very against the attemts to redefine what racism is.

We need a different word for discrimination against someone for nationality or cultural background, i’m…[Read more]

Using Huffington Post as a source isn’t very intellectually honest, but I will address their points.

1) He attacked Muslim Gold Star parents
‘Muslim’ isn’t a race, it’s an ideology.

2) He claimed a judge was biased because “he’s a Mexican”
Again, Mexican isn’t a race, it’s a nationality. But its more closely related to race than before so I…[Read more]
