Maybe this can influence some taking the largely ignored discussion of cultural relativism in a more serious way.
Maybe now they are the wrong types of immigrants for you?

"In 1998...Around 1,216,659 or 70% came from Scandinavia and the rest of Europe and 530,262 or 30% came from the rest of the world."

What? Keep in mind that these stats are not in any way new to me.

From your link.

As of 2010, 1.33 million people or 14.3% of the inhabitants in Sweden were foreign-born. Of these, 859,000 (64.6%) were born outside the European Union and 477,000 (35.4%) were born in another EU member state.[2] Sweden has been transformed from a nation of net emigration ending after World War I to a nation of net immigration from World War II onward. In 2013, immigration reached its highest level since records began with 115,845 people migrating to Sweden while the total population grew by 88,971.[3]

And since then immigration from the ME has skyrocketed.

I think this discussion is better suited to unchained though.

This is from a libertarian transparency guy, but it's a pretty deep dive into just how obvious it has always been that Clinton didn't break the law and she absolutely would not have been prosecuted if she was a little guy.

That doesn't disprove the wrong type of immigrant theory.

Seems like the White House and Obama statement on the Comey situation seems a good amount different than the cries of foul play against Comey around these parts.

Yeah you keep your theories about Swedish immigration, I will keep my eye on the relevant data, which goes far beyond what you are getting at.

"seems like it seems different"

It's always good to put a proper amount of hedging in your posts lest you be seen as actually taking a stance on something.

Not on the main forum, that does not mean that what I have to say is not factual.
10-31-2016 , 02:53 PM
Sweden sounds awful based on swedish posting itt
10-31-2016 , 02:57 PM


So the take away here is not:
  1. Bud Light is a **** beer and nothing is going to boost sales at this point
  2. If anything was going to boost sales among the crowd who still hasn't discovered good beer, Seth Rogen and Amy Schumer were absolutely not it.
  3. Out of touch old beer executives trying a desperate stupid idea to make Bud Light cool with millennials again.

Nope! The takeaway is clearly that real America is rejecting liberal values. Duh. Gotta love the logical converse - use real Americans as spokespeople and we will proudly keep buying your ****ty product.

Yeah, you should take it to unchained where you are free to tell us what you really think about all those muslim immigrants
10-31-2016 , 03:01 PM
[x] "intellectually dishonest"
[x] "guys I'm not actually a Republican"
[x] contrarianism for it's own sake
[x] constant pearl clutching over nonsense
[x] vagueness as an attempt to avoid criticism for ever having position, still managing to be constantly wrong
[x] "son"

Dumbest part of all of this is we have to deal with ikes again but I guess arent supposed to make fun of him while he's ikesing

einberts fav James Carville Jr. just went total ham on MSNBC dropping nuclear truth bombs. Best rant of the election so far imo.

I just deposited a $10k check at the bank on the way to City Hall to vote early. What are the odds if I threw together a picture of the deposit receipt with the date next to the "I Voted Early" sticker they gave me and wrote CHECK CLEARED, THANKS HILLARY! that it would get picked up by some idiot outlet?

Curious to know what Hastenikes's post/report ratio is.

No, where I can share nationwide statistics regarding Muslim immigration. I did that already, you never refuted any of it.

btw I am deep in betting for hillary, looking for more action

Right. Not from me, not from other experts, not from the intel community. Your disingenuous response is to ask for more. /1 @walterkirn

This produces a façade of reasonableness: You want "evidence" -- but then rule out what experts would take as evidence. /2 @walterkirn

And of course I'm dismissive - in the same way you'd be dismissive of someone, say, who thinks the moon landings were faked. /3 @walterkirn

It's a game of intellectual hide-and-seek where the burden of proof constantly, on the false premise that you're persuadable. /4 @walterkirn

When in fact, it's clear that you already believe in a fixed idea of what happened and how the world works. /5 @walterkirn

Look, I think you're a terrific writer. (I've quoted you, even.) But on this? You're not only unschooled, but uneducable. /6x @walterkirn

Least subtle humblebrag of all time.
10-31-2016 , 03:21 PM
Should have deposited 9.8k, because now they have to submit a money laundering form. (J/k, you could end up in the pokey like a former gop speaker of the house.)

Be better than that.
you guys, the russians hack into voting systems such that they can fix the rigged democratic code that automatically flips the votes to whichever candidate hates the second amendment the most.

dude you are stuck on some terrible false equivalency here. i made one more or less tongue-in-cheek comment that trump's only realistic path to victory is a russian hack, that's still based on mountains of empirical and statistical evidence showing 1) he's drawing nearly dead in polls, 2) he's getting crushed in early voting, 3) voter registration in crucial swing states favor dems, 4) russians/wikileaks have been caught red-handed hacking into the DNC and meddling with our election, and 5) known russian political consultant paul manafort was once his campaign manager (edit: and sought only to change the republican party platform in order to benefit russia), just to name a few things off the top of my head.

on the other hand, you have millions of angry trump voters whining every single day for months about how the election is going to be rigged and voter fraud is rampant despite no evidence whatsoever to support that claim, and in fact all evidence points to the contrary.

same thing tho, right? gtfo here wichitaman
