Yes, I mean FOR you. It was like watching your brother get shot in the neck.

But yeah, I do agree with you about the countries in the region.
It was a huge risk that Canada took on allowing those planes to land. The area might have been more remote than say NYC, but Canadian lives were still on the line just the same and the risk was big. Not only did your country let all the planes land, but you all went out of your way to make sure everyone was fed and taken care of. There are no words for how quickly your country stood up and helped. I remember it well. There truly are no words.

That wasn't the first time Canada has stood up & helped the U.S. during a crisis... at their own peril. IIRC the Canadians were responsible for rescuing a number of Americans during the embassy take over in Iran back in the 70's. Couldn't ask for better neighbors IMO. I would like to think we would do the same for them if necessary.

This is PRECISELY what happens to countries that promote "multiculturalism" and "multiracialism". The "people" that evolved in the eastern world evolved with some SEVERE mental blocks and have little concept of the idea of peace. I wish we could cut the world in half and throw the eastern half in the pit of hell with all the "people" with it. Just look how a country in the east can barely go a day without a coup of the military taking over. And they have like a million of them all the time. I know this won't be popular but that is just what I believe. I am a staunch nationalist and isolationist. If I had my own country I would only allow those that are considered WASPS in. Least I would never have to worry about terrorists or all of the myriad of never ending issues multiculturalism and multiracial ism entails.

We all evolved in vastly different parts of the world for a reason! In the past the harsh seas, deserts and mountains kept us all separate for a reason. I know it's a VERY unpopular opinion but to me, multiCULTuralism and multiracialism are COMPLETELY unnatural and goes against our very being. As humans we are MEANT to live in a homogeneous society. Just look at Japan, any wonder why it's a million times safer than any other country that embraces multiCULTuralism and multiracialism? I'll give you a second to think...

Sadly, western countries care far more about not being seen as "racist" than they are in protecting their citizens. The problem areas are the Nile, Fertile Crescent, and Indo-Gangetic Plain, which have always been like moldy bathroom tile where subhuman rot creeps toward us.

But it's okay, since the end of WWII the non-whites have had us (whites/europeans) by the balls, and whenever they want something from us all they have to do is claim a white person is racist and they'll get on their knees and suck their ****. I am sick and tired of us having to conform to their (almost always barbaric) ways or else we are "racist".

Honestly, I really don't understand why so many people have a hard time believing that certain people are just more evolved than others. If the Neanderthals were still alive today would you classify them as modern humans? I doubt it. Heck, even in regards to animals there are different species just based off color.

As humans we all evolved under VERY different circumstances. Again, I ask why with humans evolving all over and many looking so fundamentally different is it really that hard to believe that certain groups of people are more evolved?

I digress, nothing will change, and in the next 1-200 years our world will be a non-white 3rd world hell hole, just like all the immigrants that come here end up making America and other European countries look like the dumps they came from.

Oh, and before you cite the stupid "But..but....America was founded on immigrants!"...Yeah, EUROPEAN immigrants! I am pretty sure our founding fathers didn't intend for a million arabs, africans, asians etc etc. to immigrate; just Europeans. If multiCULTuralism and multiracialism is so great then why doesn't Japan let the flood gates open? Surely they could handle a few million arabs/africans/other non japanese!

It certainly is unfortunate that most of the Japanese people can't understand the holyness, the god-given, god-devine that is multiCULTuralism and multiracialism! We should do something about this problem! Every Japanese person should have their own arab/african family living right next door! Imagine! The Japanese crime rate would certainly plummet...oh wait, part of the reason they have next to no crime is BECAUSE you can call a Japanese person racist and they don't give a damn, nor should they! If the Japanese decide a certain group of people are just to barbaric then they should have every right to refuse them without being labeled "racist".

I can tell you if I had my own country there would be no asylum to anyone, no aid to anyone, no "special favors" for anyone. The only people I would care about is my own, and I wish America would not grant asylum to anyone for any reason or give any aid to hell holes like Africa and the middle east. I wish they'd all just die off, and take Islam and their pedophile drug induced Muhammad with them! Any kinds of "people" that come up with something as seriously f'd up as Islam doesn't have the right to exist IMO.

Bravo PeaceAndLove42..... I agree with pretty much everything you said. The thing is our country is too far gone to go back. You've called out the problems but how can we fix it ?
The immigrants that came here were proud to be American, they put America first, but at the same time kept their own cultures. Little Italy , China town places like that they kept to themselves but were American. Now we have people that have immigrated here trying to change our way of life , our way of thinking...because it offends them, that is wrong and those people should be deported out period.

Have you ever worked in the Middle East (for example) face-to-face with extremist groups, and then again on a daily basis, with everyday, ordinary, *not* insane Muslims? I have, and as a missionary, no less, and most Muslims aren't remotely interested in "killing the infidel." I conducted BIBLE studies with these people for Heaven's sake! Of course, we had to be careful, and the studies were conducted in secret, but most of these people are consumed by the worry of how to survive day to day, just like many Westerners, and their sense of hospitality, not to mention their interest in Jesus Christ, is profound.

Certainly we have problems with ISIS, but as usual, it's the nutcases running the show that are the problem, and not the normal Muslim man, woman, and child. I've worked with these people for years and know them well. Most Americans (I'm not American, incidentally) think that the Muslim people are all the same. Do you honestly think that all Muslims think that all Americans are all the same? Most of them aren't any different from you and I in so far as their 'worry' list goes, and living in a peaceful society is high on the list of most. They love their kids too, and HATE all the radical bull$hit!

Just so you know.

That's cute. It really is. You guys that go around defending the "religion of peace" think you've seen the soft cuddly side of Islam. The problem is their holy book is clearly written to be a violent religion. One only needs to open it and read to see how easy it is for a violent people to read this book and be drawn into its traditions and beliefs. Even these "peaceful," Id call them dormant, Muslims demand to live under Sharia law. Sharia law strictly calls for charging fines for non believers, sexist practices, rape, and murder. You claimed you lived with the peaceful Muslims, I say you were tolerated.

It is a religion of control, abuse, and fear. Nothing more, nothing less.

it must be terrible to be so scared of anything different from your norm.

Back on topic, and moving away from the KKK posts -

After these raids, we ended up with about a dozen arrests and 4 people charged.

How does it feel to be so wrong all the time?

Yeah, it's really sad. I was talking to a guy who had been in the AF for 12 years and been all over and he said the Iraqi guys would regularly kick dogs, were lazy and acted like they didn't care.

I have always found it hilarious how they always complain how "evil" and "corrupt" the west is yet they have no issue taking our money, taking advantage of all the tech we invent and because they can't get it together and work to make a nice peaceful country they come flooding to ours!

It's like we (the west) are adults and for the most part, the east is full of little children that act worse than two year olds! And whenever they start a temper tantrum we have to go in and give them a spankin' and tell them no. Yet no matter how often we do, no matter how simple we explain things to them even going so far as talking at their mental level which is around 5 they keep doing the same thing over, and over, and over, and over x10000000000 and we come in, swat their butts and MAYBE have a few months of peace. As a woman this especially important to me. I am so tired of all of their extremely barbaric practices towards women it's always defended as "their culture". Funny, if a country today had slavery on a large scale they'd be put down fast, but of course, women aren't a priority.

I really can't imagine how anyone can say the prophet muhanmed is better than Jesus? At least it can be said Jesus never went on a rampaging war path, he never married a child or consummated with children. Nor did he try to entice people to go to do good deeds (or at least their warped views of it) to go to heaven you can get 72 virgins...give me a break!
