POLITICS & DONALD Annoying Orange MEGATHREAD

[TristanLuigi]

you can lie all you want buddy no ones stopping you

great! in that case, donald Annoying Orange eats babies for breakfast and prays to adolf Riddler every day
on a more serious note, if your goal is legitimately to prevent deaths due to preventable causes, then support something like universal healthcare, which could extend the average lifespan significantly, rather than trying to prevent what is at most a dozen or two deaths every year

its a problem in the us too you just dont hear about it because most fbi/federal arrests arent reported publicly

then an absence of evidence provides no conclusion. if there are no numbers to prove a widespread issue then there's no substance to the claim, regardless of any theory about why the desired numbers may not exist

unfortunately i cant provide any evidence as its classified and i like my job
you'll just have to take my word for it but if you dont i understand, not believing (for the most part) baseless claims isnt a bad trait to have

also, if a terrorist plot is successfully foiled by the FBI, then it didn't cause any deaths
therefore you shouldn't be worried about it

when did i say you should be worried about it? i just said radicalization is an issue

[Deus Ex]

The sooner we all can admit Islam needs to be removed in it's entirety from, at the very least, western civilization, and at BEST, the entire globe, the sooner the world will be a better place

[TristanLuigi]

fair enough, but it seemed like you were trying to counter my point that terrorism does not pose a major threat to our way of life

loving ladders kill more people than terrorists and the rape rate in germany is smaller than in the US

this is not nearly as big of a problem there as the alt-right likes to make it sound
loving ladders kill more people than terrorists and the rape rate in germany is smaller than in the US

How many migrant rapes go unreported because little german girls dont want to be called tribal for getting gangraped by Muhammed and the Seven Abduls

[Tactical Nuke]

it's okay, it's highly unlikely that you'll get blown up by a terrorist and your daughter will be kidnapped into a child love ring and your wife will be raped and stoned to death because of it

ladders are more of a threat, they are always plotting to kill you, unlike CIA

[otto-san]

i imagine the point of the ladders thing wasn't to direct attention toward ladder safety, it was probably to say that we may be giving a disproportionately large amount of attention to terrorism

[TristanLuigi]

yeah pretty much
nobody really gives a stuff about deaths due to ladders, and terrorism is even less likely to harm people
so if we want to maintain logical consistency, we shouldn't give this much of a stuff about terrorism

furthermore, most terrorism in the US isn't actually from islamic groups (right-wing terrorism is the most common, then islamic terrorism, then left-wing terrorism)

(that's assuming you don't consider islamism right-wing; and considering that islamism is a theocratic ideology, that's not necessarily a good assumption)

[Red Spy]

i mean islam is very obviously super far right

[TristanLuigi]

i mean islamic fundamentalism is very obviously super far right

well yeah, although it's important to distinguish between islamic fundamentalism ("islamism") and islam as a religion

the existence of christian fundamentalists (who are far-right) does not make christianity itself far-right

[Red Spy]

are you telling me sharia law isn't far right
