Why bother replying and not addressing anything said previously?
We're talking about the Donald's skittles meme

"Whats wrong with the skittles comparison?" you asked.

1 in 20 million are your chances of being killed by a terrorists
If 3 skittles would kill you, the bowl would have to have about 60 million skittles in it.


And we aren't literally inviting syrian refugees to our country to crack their skulls open with our teeth and feast upon their juicy and colorful innards either. Nor was that 'the Donald's skittle meme, it was Jr's.
The relevant statistics would be the odds of those syrian refugees committing terrorism and/or major crimes, not killing you in specific.

If you invite in 1500 syrian refugees, and 3 of them go out and commit acts of terrorism, is that an acceptable ratio?
If one of them pulls out a kebab knife and stabs a pregnant woman to death and injures a few other people, how many peace loving immigrants offset that?

The relevant terror statics have already been posted.
The odds of dying in a terrorist attack.
1 in 20 million.

3 out of 1500 is an unrealistic ratio
Kind of like Donald's bowl of 100 skittles claiming 3 of them will kill you

So if we let in 100 refugees, and 100 of them went out and committed terrorist attacks that killed a total of 250 americans, the odds that I would personally die in these attacks is a mere 1 in 1.28 million
So therefore its perfectly okay to let in those 100 refugees even though 100% of them were terrorists, because I'm so bad at math and logic

I stand corrected, I might not be interested in cracking open the rib cages of syrian children to rip their fruity sweetbreads apart with my teeth, but judging by your mental prowess I wouldn't put it past you.

No, you're just posting irrelevant statistics.

The odds that any one specific individual will die from terrorism is not relevant to the discussion.

the odds of a refugee immigrant committing a terrorist act would be the statistic you deem relevant, right?

i know that refugees are less likely to commit crime in the country they emigrate to, but specifically terrorism I don't know whether that data has been compiled yet.

We can look at Germany though. 3 or 4 terrorist attacks (I think) out of around 1 million refugees.

I think something like the estimated number of deaths per refugee would be the most useful.

Even though I don't like using this for political gain, it still sends a powerful message.


Great ad.

It is silly and arguments by analogy are the weakest kind of arguments, in terms of logic.

I don't believe in nepotism as a guiding value and I think that is why his campaign struggles so much with putting out stuff like this, insulting POWs, making fun of the mentally disabled, etc.
