Immigration misinformation and propaganda discussion

[PurpleGorilla]

Quite. Don't have much of a point do you?

I stopped spoon feeding babies a while ago.

Face it, you're just thick as 2 short planks

How does "If someone I knew from the Muslim community was planning an act of violence I would report them to the police - 94% agree" show much sympathy for terrorists?
Do you understand basic English?
Surely if you had much sympathy for terrorists you wouldn't report them?

Yes I did work hard for the house, thanks. It's all paid for now.

He wrote much not the majority.

If you check the Charlie Hebdo attacks 27% show sympathy. For me 27% it's not much, it's too much.

"If someone I knew from the Muslim community was planning an act of violence I would report them to the police - 94% agree - 6% show sympathy

I know Muslims who feel strongly sympathetic towards people fighting for IS and al-Qaeda - 8% agree

Muslim clerics who preach that violence against the West can be justified are out of touch with mainstream opinion - 49% agree - What about the 51%?"

So you have locked the other thread as you did not want any more discussions on the said topic.

Have you analysed what exactly is happening on this thread?

Or do you not feel drunk enough on power today?!

27% IS a lot but what does "sympathy" mean though? That they endorse the attacks, or that they have sympathy for people ribbed by Hebdo but do not condone a violent response?
You can have sympathy for a pedophile but still revile their actions.

6% and 8% are pretty small - this includes people scared to report or just wanting to stay uninvolved.

51% is clearly very worrying but this seems to directly contradict the other survey figures and the question is a little complex. People seem to be saying: preaching violence is inline with mainstream opinion, not that they endorse it... confusing

I can't believe I just read that.

I have no sympathy for a pedophile.

Zero. None, nothing.

How can you have sympathy for them. In no circumstances, ever!

Are you trying to change the meaning of sympathy in order to sustain your arguments?
That’s a bad choice.

I didn't want any more discussion on this topic in that thread. in a new thread is fine. You never know, someone might cross the line of what's acceptable even in General, and then I can get another power fix.

That’s a bad choice.

When you can grasp plain English meaning, then perhaps you'll be qualified to have an opinion on changing the meaning of words.

[FatLazyContractor]

Ok, I give up.

:nazi:

Really? You don't have sympathy for someone who has to spend their life fighting impulses they know are wrong, through no choice of their own? It must be a horrible thing to be cursed with.

That’s a bad choice.

a)You have implied that 6% have sympathy simply because they didn't say they'd report it
b)Sympathy means what I think it means, it is quite a broad work with many shades of meaning.
