Why? Because you don't think they will? Did you ask an expert what your opinion should be?

Yup, Global warming. I check with the experts at the weather channel. Do you listen to the experts ROTFL

The Brits will do fine.
British society will survive
50 yrs ago they were complaining about peope from Pakistan and India and Brit society did just fine
Remember the Beatles song Get Back
originally it was not written to Get Back to their rock roots. The real early lyrics were "Get back Pakastini, Get back to where you once belonged"
Brits did just fine over the last 5o yrs

We are not talking about Global Warming, we are talking about islam and terrorism. I take some info from experts and balance it with what I know myself. This is how you avoid being a sucker, you think critically. Try it sometime.

Not based on current trends. Unless you call survival dealing with an islamic insurrection and constant threat of terror. Look at the demographics alone.

I can imagine you as a Plains Indian in the 1870s. "Don't worry, Chief. We will be OK! The tribe has always done OK before!"

It is quite a leap from not accepting people with open arms and being concerned about degradation of an existing society due to newcomers (often, but not always, an unfounded concern) to what is going on today.

There is a segment of the Muslim world that wants to destroy society as we know it. That isn't up for debate; we all know that segment exists. That segment is currently actively pursuing their goals. I am sure they absolutely love people that suspend reality and just want to talk about "peace loving Muslims" and talk about all the bad things other people have done over the history of the world.

The problem is that those folks are using that as a convenient way to ignore the problems of today. Namely, there are people out there who want to kill us and disrupt our society with a goal of making us all like them.

IF a Christian faction started doing the same thing, sane people would be against them, too.

Did those folks from Pakistan and India seek to destroy the Brits?

More like a tiny sliver
I would estimate less then 1% of the total Muslim population on Earth

But the IRA white Christian terrorists were determined to destroy Brits
Britain survived and has thrived

They couldn't understand the treachery and greed of white guys.

Here's an interesting case. Girlfriend on trial for talking boyfriend into suicide.

Quote:

In dozens of text messages and telephone calls, she repeatedly urged Roy to kill himself as she sat in his pickup in the parking lot of a Fairhaven store in July 2014 as the truck filled with carbon monoxide. At one point she told him to "get back in" after he exited the truck, Flynn said.
Carter, who never called authorities or Roy's parents as he died, wanted the sympathy and attention that came with being the "grieving girlfriend," Flynn said.

One of the things that occurs to me, if he was under 18, (but he is 18), or if he was elderly and confused, or just a person not considered fully competent.

But he isn't any of those things as far as I can tell. Obviously 18 isn't the most mature age, however, got to make a call somewhere for adult decisions.

Is he fully responsible for his death regardless of his girlfriend's actions? Should she receive any punishment?

They had the treachery and greed of other tribes to deal with.

Today we have people who cannot understand the treachery of islam. History rhymes.

The good news is that teenage drug use is down.



The bad news is that no one told the cops.

The Sheriff's Department determined that 13 teenagers at Worth County High School in Sylvester, Georgia might have drugs. So they put the school on lockdown for 4 hours.

The students' parents have launched a class action lawsuit against the Sheriffs. Why? Because during the detention, each student was searched and patted down. The deputies were, uh, very thorough in their pat-downs. Specifically, the sheriffs deputies used the opportunity to place their hands on the teenagers' breasts inside their bra, and fondle their genitals.

After searching 900 students for 4 hours the deputies found no drugs.

To imprint upon their young minds, the power of their authority? Get them used to groping before they become frequent flyers.
