I don't need to repeat what Dia has already pointed out. Whereabouts did you do your goat herding?

You don't need to repeat it but felt the desperate need to say something inane to get my attention.  You must be desperately lonely.

Those people are misusing the term. Probably because most of them are reactionary left wing idiots. I don't hate these people and I'm not 'intolerant' of them. I just don't want them in my country where I'll be expected to pay for their housing, food and health care, and where their running gun battles in the streets drive down property values.

Oh "those people". Here I thought you were talking about immigrants.

By "those people" I was referring to you.

So? Many posters are progressives offended by my clear thinking and blunt manner of writing - not to mention my lack of political correctness. Instead of spending multiple paragraphs to point out socioeconomic factors and associated lack of education, sophistication and lack of  familiarity with western technology I call them goat herders. Much more succinct and efficient and works just as well. And if it outrages the SJWs well... that's just a bonus.

IOW you're impotent and paying taxes to feed and house a bunch of goat herders and you're lashing out like an almighty keyboard warrior desperately trying to **** off anyone you think doesn't share your views.    ::)

Back in the day you would've been shaking your fists at the clouds but... technology.

I just don't want them in my country** where I'll be expected to pay for their housing, food and health care, and where their running gun battles*** in the streets drive down property values.

*      Calling people idiots because you don't like their views is intolerant behavior.
**    Condemning the intolerance of Muslims who don't want Jews in their country, and then claiming your identical desire to keep "them" out of your country is not intolerant makes no sense.
***  The vast majority of immigrants are law-abiding and employed, just as are the vast majority of non-immigrant Canadians.


Labour Statistics, 2017:
Employed - all: 82.3%
Employed - Landed immigrants: 78.9%
Immigrants, under 5 years:  69.8%
Immigrants, 5 to 10 years:  77.2%
Immigrants, 10 years plus: 82%

At least own who you are.

You mean I have opinions with which you disagree, and, unable to muster the necessary facts or intellect to refute them, you think sneering and insults is an acceptable substitute. That puts you in good company on this site. There are few active brain cells among the smug, sanctimonious progressives here, and they constitute the majority of the participants.

It's true my tolerance of idiots is low, but I have fairly high standards.

I'm not aware any Muslim country has a welfare system or that Jews would be on it. Nor am I aware of Jews being particularly violent as compared to your Muslims relatives.

A bland, meaningless statement of no relevance. How many of the Syrian goat herders do you think are paying taxes as opposed to consuming them? 1%? One half of 1%? How many of the Somalis and Haitians crossing the border are going to find work as software engineers as opposed to Walmart stockers and janitors?

Because of these phrases "violent as compared to your Muslim relatives", "Syrian goat herders" and "tolerance of idiots", I consider this a deliberate attempt to invoke an emotional response, and not an honest attempt at discussion.  This is, essentially, a troll post.

Don't act like a sanctimonious, finger wagging nag if you don't want flippant responses. As for the term 'goat herder', it's part of the discussion.

Only for those who can't discuss without denigrating or insulting somebody, anybody.

You have denigrated and insulted me in virtually every  discussion in which we've been involved, and that is many of them, so your self-righteous complaints are nothing but sheer hypocrisy.
