If 'terror attacks' included rape and murder that number would be in outer space --- Quote from: Snaked_Snake on February 10, 2017, 02:50:54 PM ---Wasn't that proven to mean "oh my god" --- End quote --- It means something different when you're detonating a bomb in a crowd of innocent people |

--- Quote from: Corderlain on February 10, 2017, 02:47:22 PM ---Thus lies the issue with our current checks and balance system. One of the checks and balances itself has no check nor balance. Who's watching the watchers and all that. --- End quote --- president appoints judges, congress approves them, and congress gets to rewrite law to work around rulings. seems pretty workable. judges can still be impeached, too, and in fact i think judges have been impeached for bias and arbitrary rulings in the past. in the case of the travel ban, the power for the executive order is granted to the president from congress. if the courts determine there is no current legal basis for the order, congress could literally just change law to allow it, and then bam, it's legal unless it's determined that higher law prohibits it (in this case, the constitution is the only law higher than acts of congress). or even better, congress could just pass legislation on their own to instate the ban while they're at it, but that wouldn't be very workable in the future |

There are no asylum seekers in Saudi because they don't want them. Saudi filters it's terrorist agents through Syria and then sends them to western nations as 'refugees' --- End quote --- What's the source on this bullstuff? --- Quote from: Rally on February 10, 2017, 02:49:57 PM ---Lmfao nice fake news bro. I guess they were all mentally ill and just screaming Allah Akbar because they liked the way it sounds --- End quote --- Because their holy book is written in Arabic and for a long time (iirc it still is, today) recited in only Arabic, and its prayers have always been in Arabic since the founding of the religion. Doing so is just adherence to faith, and has no inherent relation to nationality. The Catholic Church held all masses around the globe in Latin until the Second Vatican Conference, in 1959. What you hear in the Muslim world is just common practice. So to you I say: --- Quote from: Rally on February 10, 2017, 02:49:57 PM ---Lmfao nice fake news bro. --- End quote --- |
