Japan has always had a very strict immigration policy

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2015-12-07/immigration-is-a-tough-one-for-japan-to-swallow

http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/20...ine-forces-need-foreign-workers/#.WFoDuhsrIuU

It is a very homogeneous society. THere are no specific laws against Muslims.

I suspect that the vast majority of Muslims want to emigrate to a Western society, of which Japan is not.

Using Japan is a stupid example.

How does that make it a stupid example? Non-Muslims being prevented from entering has no logical bearing on the success or failure of the efficacy of preventing Muslims.

Refugees certainly do want to go to Japan, guess how many are allowed?

I believe the general gist of the argument is why can't the US be an ethnically homogeneous society like Japan. Part of it is that low cost labor is necessary to maintain the upper rank lifestyle, which is why blacks were brought to the US and muslims to france even if the natives didn't particularly care for them per se. That's why Japan is for example in a perpetual stall, and it's only going to get worse for them as the population ages. Despite some economic disadvantage there's some support for copying them nonetheless to maintain purity.

The second part is the growing western liberal egalitarian ideal a la all men created equal, vs fractional or non-participation of lesser ethnicities. There's also some support to let some in for material reasons but roll back the clock on their civic influence.

Funny... you guys never STOP dictating how all western countries should operate,

Japan isn't a Western nation. Nor did I dictate anything to any country for that matter

Can't respond to the rest of your drivel because you don't know what you are talking about. On anything.

It's a stupid example because Japanese immigration policy basically excludes everyone.. Bringing muslims into the occasion is nothing but malarkey

Not to mention Japan is one of the most over populated countries with one of the highest population densities and lowest natural resources. They have no interest in increasing their population.

Someone here said we owe the Muslim refugees nothing. Well, we owed your ancestors nothing either. But here you are being a fucktwat to people looking for the same opportunities we gave your family for the same reasons.

Every wave of new immigrants faces problems. Has troubles assimilating. Italians, Irish, Germans etc all lived in ghettos and clashed with established Americans.

But the fun fact is this, by the second and third generations, they are fully assimilated... And most likely raging about how immigrants suck... Just like you douchenozzles.

I don't know about the others here but I'm personally not against legal immigration. I do think we can and should screen based on risk factors. Especially when certain countries harbor those that want nothing more than to kill and maim us. It would be absolutely idiotic not to.

Most certainly the natives or blacks would really want to keep out folks who only want one over on them. Oh wait you mean people the "white country" guys want to keep out.

The difference is terrorism.

And second and third generation Muslims it turns out are often even more extreme than their parents. This is the case in France. In the USA it is true to a degree as well. If you read up on the individual cases of terrorism, there is a high number of second generation terrorists.

If Chinese or Hindu immigrants were waging terrorism at anything close to the rates of Muslim communities, you bet there would be a problem. But there isn't. This isn't about them taking our jobs or whatever, this is about terrorism. Economic competition is fair game, terrorism is not acceptable in the least.

It's a universal feeling amongst all colors and races. Beheadings or getting run over by a bus are not good things. I hope they get things worked out over there but we won't be letting them bring over a fight we aren't interested in participating in on our homeland.

Japan hasn't suffered any of that, and that is in large part because it simply doesn't have that many Muslims.

The larger part is because Japan hasn't been invading Muslim countries
If you were to ask a Japanese citizen who they worry about more, a Muslim attack or an American Military murder and rape.
They of course would say Americans, because of all the American murder and rape of their women and children lately

What's most hilarious is these Islamists are the spitting figure of the Murican jesus-loving tough guy who don't take no shits from anyone; except too brown to join the club.

I wouldn't mind less of either in the country.

Wat? Murican guy you are describing goes to work and takes care of their family. Big difference between that and killing innocent people. Get some help.

No they do what it takes to justify more gubmint welfare by killing them muslims. But it's ok because those people are politically expendable, in fact folks like you hardly even consider them people.

So you agree we shouldn't be involved in Syria and let Assad and Putin handle it however they do?

I too would prefer we take Japan's approach. But right now we take on the worst of both worlds, we let in record numbers of Muslims and we wage wars that anger them. And then our PC culture fails to make the connection on how they might be angry...because they are "individuals" and shouldn't be stereotyped as hating Israel.

Just to be clear, by "PC culture" here you mean the merican conservative "they hate our freedoms, so keep that mil welfare coming" types. Funny how your mind can't bear to say anything negative about them, like you're well trained or something.

Saw this thread had 8 pages now from the 2 I saw yesterday so I thought I'd read through a lot of developments in the incident that happened yesterday.

But nope, just a bunch of babbling idiots arguing about who is more left and right and stuff completely unrelated to the incident at hand.

Do you support bombing the ever living shit out of their home countries, blasting their infrastructures to nothingness, sowing anarchy, etc....? Don't our actions GUARANTEE a certain percentage of those coming in hate America with a passion and want payback? We have been murdering Muslims in the Middle East for two straight decades and for whatever reason, you actually believe they bear us no ill-will. Have you bothered to look at opinion polls of America in the Middle East? In some Middle Eastern countries I believe hatred for us is over 90%. We spend two decades murdering and destroying a region and then open our doors to the survivors of our madness? I don't get it.

When they say they don't want us there, I BELIEVE THEM. Most American politicians don't or do not care.

Exactly and since we have enough problems with the domestic religious right here and other economic and social issues that need addressing first no need to bring in the equivalent of the religious right on steroids from the middle east looking for payback.

Wouldn't you agree it's orders of magnitude more effective to just deport all their white counterparts instead of hoping to catch a few?

Don't forget to limit them to 5 gallon fuel tanks in California ;)

LOL, that's why I threw in that 10 square feet of cargo...no one would ever find a need for more than 10 square feet of cargo (shoot should have said cubic but whatever). In fact, make it 7 cubic feet of cargo, that's more than sufficient. Scratch it, I like yours better lol. I mean, LOL, Lefties... :D

It's amazing this has to be explained. It's even more amazing that people act like it's foreigners right to come here. I often wonder how it's possible that people get so mind F'd...

Don't worry... I'm sure that my Connecticut senators and governor are working on an "Assault Truck" ban as we speak. We're good at knee jerk overreactions to tragedies in this state.

The key as NesuD stated is we need to limit these Assault Trucks so they're not so dangerous. It's not enough that they're used responsibly millions of times per day, we need to take action - any action! - now to prevent future harm to innocent bystanders. This is why I call upon the United States and the UN to impose a 5 pint limit on these Assault Trucks and their high capacity fuel tanks. If we had such a limit, these trucks wouldn't be able to reach these irresponsible speeds for such inordinately long distances, thereby saving lives.

Also, the dark painted color scheme of these Assault Trucks lends them extra lethality as they look like black helicopters the military uses. We need these Assult Truck to be painted a different, brighter, happier, color, such as Blaze Orange. This will also aide pedestrians in identifying one of these sinister Assault Trucks in enough time to steer clear (no pun intended of course).

Together, and with extra "common sense" training drivers will pay for on how not to run through pedestrians in a crowded market, extra licensing drivers will pay for after said training that indicates they indeed have received the training to not run over pedestrians in a crowded market, we can insure these Assault Trucks won't further be used in innocent loss of life.

snip Using vehicles as a weapon is such a freakishly miniscule usage of the vehicle that it doesn't even register, no matter how sad the results are when it's used that way.

So you're starting to get how really stupid the Assault Weapons whining is, good...

Your blathering about Assault Vehicles is really stupid, even though in your mind it's probably witty. But it's actually quite dumb. It's a stupid analogy, no matter what color you think the paint job of your argument is.

...and Nope, it looks like I spoke too soon... :(
