Donald Trump says ban all Muslims traveling to US
-
What Logic said, plus, hundreds of thousands have fled to Europe, so
you're back to trying to figure out how to vet middle eastern
refugees from there, too.
You have to find out where they originated from.
But we have to stop it now, slow it way the hell down... until we can stop terrorists
from ever getting in... it will take time.

I'd be just as happy to be isolationists. Stop all immigration, period. Wall up both borders and put out foriegn military presence on the walls and call it a day. Fix our own problems first. Unfortunately that's not going to happen so the least we could do is stop immigration from countries where an avowed goal of a significant percentage of the population is the utter destruction of our way of life.

I agree but you would have to couple that with a significant withdrawal of our military from their lands. And frankly other lands too. We have to many soldiers stationed too many damn places. And invariably they piss people off for one reason or another. I would leave soldiers in Korea and that's about it.

Does that mean no tourism as well? No foreign imports of goods? Declared immigration is not the only way to enter a country.

Fine by me

How do you put people back in manufacturing jobs? Stop importing cheap foreign goods.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

There are things you need to import from abroad though, not just cars and electronics. Raw materials, for example.
You'd also essentially bankrupt every international airline.

The price of items would sky rocket. I understand your thought process but every country that has tried this idea has ended up tanking their economy.
-
Does it also mean nobody out? I mean if there's no planes coming out, nobody's allowed to leave the country. I'm sure the world won't mind a few less American tourists

Agree on the part that Trump saying "all muslims" is bad wording, but he had ample chance to correct himself or revise the statement and didn't.
Secondly I think most people don't understand how the economy works.
Our economy has started/mostly "evolved" from the old days of manufacturing goods, etc. We're at the point where people have higher wages, more skill positions, more service positions, etc.
Aside from that, I see all these people screaming for "bring our manufacturing jobs back" "stop importing foreign goods"
It's not that easy. People have higher standards of living here, demand higher wages. If we manufactured most goods here - then prices would balloon, consumption would go way down. We wouldn't be able to compete internationally (who would want to import a 100%-US made Ford, when it'd cost them 2x as much as what they are making elsewhere).
We have plenty of issues, but they aren't quite as simple as isolating ourselves from the rest of the world - basically 10% of the population owns the 90%, pretty big problem that the simple isolationist bring back manufacturing approach would magnify ten-fold.
--
Hey, maybe we could work to drive up wages for some of the skill positions, service positions, etc that our economy has become driven by in this 21st century? Stop paying CEOs 5000% more than the average worker?
Oh wait, that makes too much sense.

Banning all Muslims would be a great idea, and I'm glad he has the balls to just say it.

The economy is already in dire need of a full overhaul. But as I think I said in my original statement that isolationism is impossible and isn't going to happen

It's also a ridiculous idea that would fall flat on its face.

You go ahead and be a gun free society and welcome terrorists into your
country, we'll pass.

I guess I am just disagreeing with Chris and not pissed off at him.

The Fighting Side Of Me
by Merle Haggard
G
I hear people talking bad
D7
About the way we have to live here in this country
Harping on the wars we fight
G
And griping about the way things oughta be
And I don't mind 'em switching sides
D7
And standing up for things they believe in
When they're running down my country man
G
They're walking on the fighting side of me
D7 G D7
Yeah they're walking on the fighting side of me
Running down the way of life
C G
Our fighting men have fought and died to keep
If you don't love it leave it
G7 C
Let this song I'm singing be a warning
D7
If you're running down my country man
G
You're walking on the fighting side of me
I read about some squirrelly guy
D7
Who claims he just don't believe in fighting
And I wonder just how long
G
The rest of us can count on being free
They love our milk and honey
D7
But they preach about some other way of living
When they're running down my country hoss
G
They're walking on the fighting side of me

So Trump says he'll eliminate muslim terrorists from entering our country and that's a bad thing?
guns don't kill kids-pitt bulls do. -

by being a bitch. If you say you'd like something theoretically to happen but it's impossible how is that stupid. I'd like to fuck Megan Fox too but it's probably impossible. Want to pick that apart?By calling out your stupidity?
