  anybody want to guess?

  for some years the office for national statistics tried to hide the answer by counting different spellings as different names.

  it no longer matters.

  Re read the right leaning Examiner's coverage again. Not 15% of immigrants are terrorists. Rather 15% of the FBI's overall investigations focus on immigrants. I'm glad they're investigating, that's what they do. But not 15% of immigrants are terrorists. The title of the article is misleading.

  The FBI has revealed that at least 15 percent of the agency's terrorism investigations focus on immigrants who arrived as refugees.

  I just don't see the islamic terrorist behind every bush. I live and work in NY and aside from 9/11 most of the "terrorism" is one off nutjobs. Nutjobs. Get the Comey reference?

  It appears to me that much of the wave of immigration can be traced back to the Syrian civil war and the West's inability/refusal to really deal with an obvious crisis. I understand how war weary the US and others are, but if there were ever a reason to go to war, it seems to me that Assad's regime deserves to be ended.

  Years later, now that Russia has taken a side, there is no real hope for those people and the mass immigration will continue, no doubt fueling nationalistic sentiments.

  How does western civilization claim the moral high ground, while ignoring suffering at the hands of a dictator, then turn around and deny these people refuge?

  I'll pray for you

  one thing over the years social media has made me painfully aware of is how many times i see someone use the phrase "i'll pray for you" and the outcome is bad.

  recently a friend of mine who at one time was my manager where i worked got cancer.

  a lot of people were praying for him.

  I'm not praying, I'm supplicating god on your behalf right now.

  PS If I were you I'd be on the lookout for an anvil falling from the sky ala the Roadrunner and Coyote

  here's the short article found in the "did you know?

  " series found on watchtower documents, and, underneath it, is the unusual comment:.

  I live fairly close to Bethel. Subsequent to leaving their assignments, quite a few stay in the area. It's so sad to see the emotional toll that being childless has taken on these couples, especially on the sisters. This is one of the most heinous policies thrust upon them. Just sickening.

  today, i received a paper letter in my mail.

  since i left at the second half of 2016, i never received something like this.

  it is a one and a half page hand written letter that is written by an elder pioneer (i guess he needed some easy way to get his time in).. it is not written in english, so i will translate it:.

  "The problems of all the nations can be traced back to Eden"

  Uhhh.........He know there was no such time or place, right? That that tale is just a fantasy? It's like arguing about whether Captain Kirk is cooler than Spock. Neither one exist in reality. But Spock is way cooler IMO.

  i could never understand why some people who know the truth about the "truth" ever go back.

  once you understand all the hypocrisy and negatives, i would think it's almost impossible to go back!.

  Haven't stepped inside a KHall in 8 years. Never will again. Although I'm seriously thinking about Catholicism.

  The facts are that Dylan Roof is a self procalimed racist. Yes and he's insane. I think that by definition murdering racists are all insane. And they should be judged by their peers and condemned to whatever punishment the law prescribes.

  No one is making the story go away. But one has to acknowledge that certain media outlets as as well as posters sensationalize and politicize garden variety lunatics. It was on CNN, and on pretty much every news outlet. No one is making it "go away." I'm just questioning the somewhat shaky websites that are making political hay of this.

  I'm not certain how pointing out the fact that the perpetrator here is mentally ill stigmatizes all mental illness. It does however lay a groundwork wherein one gains perspective of what is motivating the crime.

  Besides...Everyone knows that its all Trumps fault

  Maybe it's worth noting that the OP's websites are pretty sketchy. Gotnews is a ultra right wing rag site founded by Chuck Johnson of Breitbart fame.

  The reality as reported by the NYTimes is that this "racist" attacker was recently involuntarily committed because of mental instability. Just another nut job I'm afraid....
