The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Replying to Dope1


[Actually I'm "replying" to whatever Einstein you were trying to educate]

Here's a neat trick for looking at it: for everything you see in Western Europe having issues with Muslims, the historical equivalent here is Americans having issues with Catholics - an alien and foreign religious group with such divergent values and cultural practices (to say nothing of linguistic differences) that they will cause nothing but trouble if we let them in. Funny how history rhymes, and love the irony of a Buchanan or a Tancredo leading the charge against the immigrant problem...

Again, missing the point, which was "What about the UK caused Reform to do so well in the council elections?" Excellent distraction attempt, though.

*************************

Yup, the dude you were responding to as well as most radical leftists and anti-semites posting here, makes it their business to "miss the point."

I only want to add that I don't recall any historical occurrences of roving bands of immigrant Catholic Rape Gangs. Americans who had "issues" with Catholics were primarily motivated by religious, ethnic, and social class prejudice.

But sure--Muslim roving Rape Gangs are totally equivalent to the history of Catholic immigration to the U.S.

Dope1, where do you find these numskulls???
