So, since it "wasn't a Muslim ban™", does this mean we ban Brits?

I had a co-worker tell me how racial profiling is a great thing and went on and on about if you're a "real" American you wouldnt mind a "few" civil liberties disturbed. I turned the table and asked essentially a similar question to yours.... her response: but but thats different and mumbled some nonsense then angrily changed the subject.

Judging by my unfamiliarity w/ the singer, I'm guessing her target demo is teenagers... that makes this even sadder.

Looking like their countries would have been better off if they instituted an "American Ban"

Since we have murdered over ONE MILLION Muslims since the first Iraq War

Maybe ISIS should start murdering you and your neighbors
The USA murders Muslims neighbors on a near daily basis since I was just a young boy.. 30 years ago

^^When was the last time Iraq attacked America on US Soil.. When was the first time

3000 vs 1 million.. wow

All this comment does is draw negative attention to whatever it is you're trying to espouse and continues to make yourself look more of a despicable ass.

Yep. Between his comment, the Trump people trying to use this as an excuse for a Muslim ban, and a friend's off hand joke that it's a shame the last thing these people heard before they died was Ariana Grande, it's disappointing that the last one is actually the least infuriating (I'll admit I had to stop myself from chuckling at that one).

You've been given a lot of leeway upon your return with a new handle, but you need to at least try to stick to the topic at hand without the incessant, "But the US has murdered millions of people too!" Okay? Thanks.

sadly this will have an impact on how we live, hopefully just temporary. My kid is still young but if I have teenagers, I don't know if I'm comfortable letting them go to a concert/large sport event, at least for a while... (I know to beat terrorism is not to let them change you but this is scary, the target was teenager concert)

Call it what you want but I am tired of humans that equate our MIC as some peacekeeping force.. like the US Military doesn't create terrorists..

One Trillion dollars plus dollars spent .. what is the ROI?

Sure.. but our culture is blind.. turn a blind eye to the creators of hate/anger/frustration

Nobody deserves a terrorist attack just like no humans deserve to have drones flying over their head all day and waiting for one of them to kill them at a wedding or any other event.. Journalists don't deserve to be killed by US helicopters etc..

Just because one side uses citizens tax dollars and gigantic equipment doesn't make them right

I will respect your private server.

This is just heart-breaking. I took my 11 and 9 year old daughters to this concert when it came through my town just a few months ago. I can't even wrap my head around what happened to those people leaving, knowing very easily that the next time this happens, it could be an event I'm leaving or my kids are leaving, and there's not a damn thing anyone really could do to stop a person from doing this. Heart-breaking can't even begin to describe it.

If ISIS had equivalent military tools to the US you can bet your ass we'll have just as much casualties if not more.

From now on, all it takes is for one person to get spooked by something to cause a mass hysteria with possible stampede injuries.
