You were trying to be funny, which didn't work. Not being bothered by this ban does make you selfish, no matter how you try to put it. I was joking with my phrasing, it's obvious. Stop reading into things. Also,okay call me selfish. I would be very against it if it weren't temporary, and i understand why he put it in place. I wish it wouldn't have to be this way, but i understand why its happening. That is what i think, so call me selfish. I wish we can just have open boarders all the time but it's just not what we should be doing right now as a country. Thats just my opinion though, i get if u think different. Don't attack me for it.

Cold as ice cream, but still as sweet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not all Americans here, but unfortunately his decisions and policies affect the whole world. Work on your empathy, you are extremely selfish, you're supporting a discriminatory ban, which won't even make you safe. It gives false sense of security to naive racists and bigots. None of the terrorists in the US were nationals of the countries on the ban list. You have homegrown terrorists, more discrimination (and torture) leads to radicalization. You need to read more about these issues, this is embarrassing. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to read more about these issues, this is embarrassing. I'm sorry i assumed you were. You seemed very involved and also very bias. Also, learn to respect other people's opinions and stop being immature. Theirs 2 sides to every situation and all i said was that i understand why it's in place and i am not totally oppose to it (not totally there for it either). It's discriminatory, but do u not understand WHY it's in place? Listen, this may help something or it may not. Its temporary. I think your the one who needs to check yourself. Also yes we have alot of issues in our country like these movements, police brutality, etc. and no that isn't all Trumps fault either. We are trying to deal with those and this is going on while we are. It's not just naive racists or bigots, i've heard alot of people who are moderate on political topics agree or disagree. That doesn't make them racist either. Stop giving everyone a title and running with it. Sometimes this is the real problem. Deeming everyone who thinks something as a name, or calling them things all because they can see both sides of a situation (or lean towards the other way). Stop putting me down because i don't agree with you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exaggeration that the media portrays is dangerous to society and is misinforming. Nothing about the title was false or exaggerated. The film maker is banned from the USA (probably for the next 4 years) because of Donald Trump and cannot attended the ceremony he is nominated at. He got banned by Trump, along with millions of other people. You're just playing devil's advocate for your own moral highground.

With such a disconnect from your empathy / compassion, can you really say that you are any different from someone like: Non-sense! Being upset that people are exagerating and not being truthful doesnt invalidate being upset at Trump also. Your making it sound like 1 takes attention from the other when it doesnt. It was an observation i took 20 seconds to type Believe it or not, it is possible to be upset at 2 sides simultaneously if both twist the truth This isnt just about the title, its the attittude it represents. Just because Trump isnt a good person and doesnt have our approval doesnt make it to be adding salt and pepper to what actually is said or done by him.

Goosey 3,017 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The Muslim ban enacted by President Donald Trump will keep the Iranian director of an Oscar-nominated film from this year's ceremony, according to reports. Asghar Farhadi's film The Salesman is nominated in the Foreign Language category. The film follows a high school teacher who seeks revenge against the perpetrator who attacked his wife in their apartment. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/donald-trump-muslim-ban-oscars-2017-director-asghar-farhadi-iran-the-salesman-a7550751.html "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.
