[QUOTE]WASHINGTON — Two years into a civil war that shows no signs of ending, the Obama administration is considering resettling refugees who have fled Syria, part of an international effort that could bring thousands of Syrians to American cities and towns. A resettlement plan under discussion in Washington and other capitals is aimed at relieving pressure on Middle Eastern countries straining to support 1.6 million refugees, as well as assisting hard-hit Syrian families. [IMG]http://articles.latimes.com/images/pixel.gif[/IMG] The State Department is "ready to consider the idea," an official from the department said, if the administration receives a formal request from the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Refugees, which is the usual procedure. The United States usually accepts about half the refugees that the U.N. agency proposes for resettlement. California has historically taken the largest share, but Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia are also popular destinations.[/QUOTE] [URL]http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jun/09/world/la-fg-syria-refugees-20130610[/URL] [QUOTE][h=1][B]Obama administration willing to take in Syrian refugees[/B][/h][/QUOTE] [URL]http://www.thenational.ae/news/world/middle-east/obama-administration-willing-to-take-in-syrian-refugees[/URL]
NO FUCK OFF. We don't need more muslums to come here and try to convert their communities into "little syria". [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Xenophobia/ban history" - Orkel))[/highlight]
Welcome to America Oppressed Syrians! Home of the free, and land of the great! Just make sure to be on your best behavior, the NSA is watching!

Please don't send them to the northern midwest. I beg of you. [sp]Already a lot at the moment anyways[/sp]
This thread is off to a good start.
Sounds expensive.
Better they go to USA than the UK.

[QUOTE=>VLN<;41035520]NO FUCK OFF. We don't need more muslums to come here and try to convert their communities into "little syria".[/QUOTE] We don't need more whites to come here and try to convert their communities into "little america". You're seriously horribly ignorant and horribly racist.

[QUOTE=doommarine23;41035572]We don't need more whites to come here and try to convert their communities into "little america". You're seriously horribly ignorant and horribly racist.[/QUOTE] But Muslims aren't a race.
[QUOTE=tielboy;41035671]But Muslims aren't a race.[/QUOTE] If he's not racist he's ignorant, if he's not ignorant he's bigoted, if he's not bigoted he's hateful and spiteful and full of anger to innocent victims and human beings.
Not a good solution to the problem.
[QUOTE=tielboy;41035671]But Muslims aren't a race.[/QUOTE] people have a preconceived notion as to what Muslims are supposed to look like, and i'll bet you anything at least half of America think that notion is "brown and with a beard"
[QUOTE=W00tbeer1;41035735]Not a good solution to the problem.[/QUOTE] The war is one problem, the refugees are another. Some of them probably lost everything that tied them to Syria anyway. Offering them a new life in a better place is worth considering.
[QUOTE=tielboy;41035671]But Muslims aren't a race.[/QUOTE] You really don't know what racism is.
syrians make best shawarmas so this is good.
I can only imagine how much the belief that Obama is a terrorist will increase
Probably just going to send them to Detroit rather than somewhere actually useful
I think it would be a nice gesture, so long as they double-check who they are actually letting in.

Sure, America screws up every once in a while and has its problems, but it's nowhere near as bad as what they have in Syria

Doesn't excuse the NSA surveillance program, but it is definitely something i'd prefer to death.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;41035790]You really don't know what racism is.[/QUOTE] Actually it seems as if you don't. taken from freedictionary.com 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race. And if you read the actual quote he was quoting said: "NO FUCK OFF. We don't need more muslums to come here and try to convert their communities into "little syria"." It seems as if a lot of people have double standards since the same people who claim you can't be racist against Jews claim you can be racist against Muslims when in fact Jews are an ethnic group which has been proven based on physical, cultural, and DNA tests.
well that's the first decent idea i'v heard come from the federal government recently.

One is a dumb person refusing to learn, the other is a set in stone meaning of a word or phrase. Very different. Fuck man. Schools in North America are a fucking joke if you don't learn this. What? are they too busy massaging your feelings to teach you to face the world and accept that your perception of the world isn't necessarily what it is? racism is a defined word that describes hatred directed towards an individual based on their racial traits. Like +10 stealth or +1 infravision at night. So people quote a dictionarys definition of a word because that's what the word means. If that's not what you believe then all i've got to say to you sir is Mammoth. Mammoth is when you go make shit up about what a word doesn't mean. I am now Mammothing about the word Mammoth. You'll notice me doing that by you disagreeing on what Mammoth defines. Well tough luck. don't disrespect my beliefs!
