  immigration: the truth about the lie: crimecrime: do immigrants increase rates of violence?

  there has been a lot of talk about how immigrants pose a threat to the safety of this country by increasing crime rates.

  is there any truth to this, or is it "fake news.

  Agree with BK's assessment from being there. These are some points I think should be taken into consideration.

  On top of being disorganized, many are highly emotional. This adds to it being disjointed.
  

  IMO, I think they are justified in disrupting the meeting for purely selfish and cathartic reasons (you tube aside). I base this on the principle of silencing/not believing allegations of abuse. This can drive people over the edge. I would expect to see more of this as more people exit, and would presume the videos alone could play a part in some waking up.

  Add the two witness rule, to witnesses don't lie, and the kid has an active imagination, and abuse is silenced. So, yes this organization is so destructive that it deserves no respect.

  An 80 year-old man goes to the doctor for his annual check-up, and gets a clean bill of health. "Everything looks great," says the doctor, "What's your secret?" "I have a personal relationship with God" answers the patient, "In fact, every night, when I get up to use the bathroom, he turns the light on and the off when I'm done." "Wow that's incredible," exclaims the doctor. Later that day, the doctor calls the man's wife just to confirm the story about the man's personal relationship with God. "Does God really turn the bathroom light on and off for your husband?" he asks. "Aw Jeez," answers the wife, "He's peeing in the refrigerator again."

  Fearing for life is not a valid argument for being a Christian. A Christian is suppose to go to death (or shunning) to do the "right thing" for his fellow man. It is only after that when the matter is left in Jehovah's hands.

  Ok, you can go back to putting your fingers in your ears and saying "LALALALALALALA"

  It's about doing the right thing,especially if you claim to be Christian.

  For example, you are the only witness to a reckless driver that runs a stop sign, and hits and kills someone.The driver claims that the person jumped out in front of them. Your not required by law to come forward and report what you saw. Some people just wouldn't want to get "involved", and keep their mouth shut, but a "true Christian" would want to report what they saw, even though it's not required by law, so that the reckless driver doesn't hurt or kill anyone else.

  Get it?

  Democracy, that's a laugh. How could you buy this propaganda? Does anyone talk about ending imperialism? No, because 70% of discretionary spending is on the military. Corporate powers make big money on war, and are not about to stop. Voting means nothing.

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_totalitarianism

  ecerpt from a Morris Berman speech Nov 4 2011:
  
  
  
  the French writer Denis Duclos, who is a
  director of the CNRS, the research institute in Paris,
  pegged the problem of the obsession with having an
  enemy and the violence that results from that in his book
  of 1994 Le Complexe du loup-garou, The Werewolf
  Complex. In his epilogue to the 2005 edition, Duclos
  writes that “America is always dependent on a werewolf
  figure, a dark, savage beast that’s out to destroy it. The
  beast,” he says, “changes in content, but the form is
  always the same. At the center of this,” he says, “is a
  terrible fear that Americans have of emptiness, which is an
  anxiety of not existing, and they disguise this with a
  hyperactive optimism.” -----Have a nice day. ----“A curious
  society,” he writes, “a people who don’t know who they
  really are. Like the Romans, they see themselves under
  siege.” And, he says, “This could finally trigger a fascist
  populism,” which, of course, we’re seeing with the Tea
  Party. “The American fear of the monster,” he writes, “has
  always marked its history, whether this exists on the inside
  or the outside. This leads to isolating the country in a sort
  of collective psychosis that can only contribute to
  international instability.”
  In fact, that’s how most of the world sees us. A few
  years ago there was an international poll that asked the
  question, “Which nation do you believe is the greatest
  threat to world peace?” The United States and Israel said
  Iran, and everybody else said the United States. Writing in
  Der Spiegel last August, the German journalist Jakob
  Augstein argues that the U.S. is basically a failed state; it’s
  not part of the West anymore, and that Europe needs to
  keep its distance from what is a very different and
  apparently, his word, “insane” political culture. There is,
  he concludes, no deliverance in sight for the U.S.
  What does mental health mean in an individual case?
  It’s at least this: That a person knows his or her personal
  narrative and is able to see it from the outside and, as a
  result of this transparency, at least try to do something
  about it. Perhaps the same thing is true of a nation or a
  civilization. I don’t know. But what I know is that there is
  very little understanding in the U.S. as to what the
  underlying narrative is, or even the fact that there is an
  underlying narrative. This seems to escape most
  Americans, almost all.
