Your argument was reasonable and coherent. Congrats.
Pretty much what I've been trying to say.


Since then I've been called racist, a liar, laughed, mocked, etc.

Can you see why I said you were backpedalling?

A year is too long and you know it. It can't possibly take a year to interview a refugee over three rounds, see if their story changes and check for any dates given against the vast intelligence database the US have in their possession. After this step is finalized, they need to be brought over to the states. From there they can live in refugee centers while their asylum is being processed and additional information about their 'motives' is collected.
I can see why you thought it but I'm telling now over and over again why I haven't been.

Yeah, the media is back to its old tricks. We're seeing the same type of rhetoric as right before we invaded Afganistan and Iraq.
So many people are feeding off these irrational fears.. Sometimes I even think all of this is a scam designed to make us give up all rights to privacy so that companies can make personalized ads and make us buy shit.

Of course it isn't, but it does play nicely into the agenda of a lot of people.

You should read my Facebook feed sometime. People can be quite disgusting.

Anyways I'll leave you alone now. If you want to debate serious issues in the future I strongly suggest you sit down and think your argument through, instead of posting a knee jerk reaction and then spending months to get out of the shit.

You twist my words every fucking time.
No, I don't. I usually even quote you. Like I did today. You changed your mind. That's cool. In fact that's awesome. Because you changed it for the better and most people are too stubborn to do so.

I'm sure mine is just as bad. But, I must say I have also seen a lot of people who only wanted to share words of love and hope.
I haven't read my facebook feed since these attacks happened. I know that the only thing I'll find is ultra leftist vs ultra rightist arguments with no nuance and my balls have enough gray hairs on them from these types of discussions from uni.

Going back on your original point, explaining how what you meant is different than what you said/wrote is the goddamn definition of backpedalling.
If it was backpedaling I would have reversed my opinion, which I didn't. I simply expanded on it. :D

Like I already said. I simply expanded on the point which I would have thought most people would have sorta probably already had an idea of in regards to the states, which goes back to the image I posted. Obviously that wasn't the case.

Eat your humble pie in silence :p

It's okay. We all know what you did. But in the end you voiced a legitimate concern. One that is not as pressing as you think it is and imo completely irrational, but one that is shared by many people.

Only thing I will agree with you on.


Leave me to my pie.

I didn't.

To the bolded: Perhaps irrational or overly complicating it.
