Was the Antarctica thing not a parody post? I was laughing at it.

Many people turn to terrorism due to social and / or mental health issues.

Perhaps one of the most efficient methods of anti terrorism would be draining the recruitment pool by providing support for those issues.

I kind of like the 'don't do anything special' for terror attacks. Going with the parody theme, I can imagine the papers:

"In a tragic turn of events a deranged young man, unable to access the support he needed, took his own life today. Due to the weapon of choice there was an unfortunate number of collateral casualties and damage to property.

The suicide victim and his estate are as such being charged for manslaughter and vandalism. The police are asking that anyone who witnessed these events, or knew the individual, step forward".

We can say a lot of things about the 9/11, some people even think that it was orchestrated by the CIA (I don't, of course), but I don't really want to discuss that matter. I will just say that the 9/11 was an event that occurred 16 years ago, while the current terrorist groups are completely different than al-qaeda.

It's also a massive outlier, in terms of prevention and effect.

Did you think this through? Like, really think it through all the way to the end?

So you'd prefer to keep these radicalized people here in Europe/America?

Yeah, I thought through how many people actually die to terrorism each year, then I realized if you kept the people who were "radicalized" while in prison in your country, you could better monitor them. Then if they do anything to break the law, back in jail.

But hey, just send them back where they will cause more death and destruction.

I'd rather they caused death and destruction back in their countries of origin than here on British streets,

So dump the problem on someone else. Classy.

If they're not British citizens, yeah. Why should Britain be a dumping ground for the rest of the world's terrorists?

Because there's a small group of people in Britain sitting in high places who want to feel righteously cuddly regardless of the consequences. The death and destruction and heightened sense of fear is a small price to pay to have their egos stroked. And to rub the rights face in it of course.

Not really, it's because there's a small group of people sitting in the most important western countries that earn billions by trafficking human beings. No one really cares about the immigrants' lives, they're just trying to sell the idea that western societies are bad and we should help the third world to make their business flourish.

But mass migrations don't help these people, since the majority of them won't have a future once they arrive. Maybe just in the biggest cities of the richest countries, and even there the locals tipycally don't want anything to do with them. In italy the majority of those migrants, refugees or not, ends up in structures that are not that different to prisons, or they turn into criminals (usually drug dealers) or exploited by mafia groups as slaves. Others disappear and cross illegally the border.

That's the real reason why some eastern european nations don't want those immigrants, it's not because of their different culture, but because they can't give them a role in their societies, they would be only a burden.

We've finished discussing anything useful/on topic and devolved into the usual "most migrants end up as X" sort of rubbish these threads often end with.

Do better off topic section, I wish to God you could do better
