  1. What always happens is that all the details are kept away from public until it all blows over and the cycle happens again. So who is to say that the men who did this will be honest and confess everything? And even if it's not a terrorist attack in the traditional sense. It's still changes how the people in the UK live.
  2. That's right reform the UK. Why would anyone want to travel to the UK and get randomly stabbed? I'm Mexican-American, I've had enough experiences with knife wielding wackos in my life already.
  3. You left out "at this stage...there is nothing..."
  4. I appreciate your honesty. My thoughts on school shootings is that mental health gets overly blamed by right wing idealogues who don't understand mental health. I think the blame should go towards politicians on both sides left and right that have not done anything to seriously address it. I also blame academia for being slow on findings solutions. I don't like the exaggerated gun culture of the US & think it is partially to blame, although I do believe in responsible gun ownership. I think it should be treated as a public health issue and a lot of fund should go to all levels of prevention.
  5. First of all islam is not a race, it's a religion. You said it yourself in the damn post. And I have not once mentioned it here. This discussion is about terrorism and how migration pathways facilitate it.
  6. I became friends during my graduate studies with students from Africa, Turkey, and China. It took me a few days to know that they were not radicals looking to hurt innocent people. If I had the power I would put in a recommendation for them to become US residents and then citizens. How hard is it to support a better process to allow good people in and bad people out? So it's racist to not allow someone that hates the country and people that let them in?
  7. The Japanese people must like you.
  8. My god I only had to read the first sentence to know that you lack reading skills. I didn't say I have a phd in stats; I said I took 2 years of phd stats. Huge difference! Anyways, Let's not mix our topics. I will talk about crime and not terrorism here. The literature has already established a link between poverty and crime. Duh there are other "things" (the word you are looking for are factors) that contribute to crime. But even though there is not direct link between immigration and crime, there are related pathways through which immigration, especially illegal immigration, leads to increased crime rates. Poverty for example, we know that most illegal immigrants are poor, we know many of them lack an education. But here is the point I want to make. In human science there is a simple phenomenon called the bell curve under which all human experience is distributed under. Most experiences or people fall in the middle of that curve, some or about 25% fall about 2 standard deviations from the mean. Even fewer fall at the ends for about 4-5% of the population. So for example, most people are not terrorists, only a small percentage of people are willing to kill innocent people. That percentage will stay the same no matter how many people you include in your study. So in studies regarding immigration and terrorism, you can increase the number of migrants and the number of people willing to kill innocent people will stay the same. The question is, how much is a country willing to tolerate that 10% of terrorists living among their citizens committing terror acts after terror acts.
  9. The people of the UK have to get organized, rally, and get politicians elected that are actually interested closing their border and implement strict laws. I don't see anyone here getting angry at the Japanese for being ultra conservative in that regard. Europe needs to start doing the same until who knows when.
  10. "The results suggest that migrants stemming from terrorist-prone states moving to another country are indeed an important vehicle through which terrorism does diffuse." Bove, V., & Böhmelt, T. (2016). Does immigration induce terrorism?. The Journal of Politics, 78(2), 572-588. https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/abs/10.1086/684679
  11. Screw your speedy recovery and fake well wishes. The UK people will finally have enough and ya'll better mind your business.
  12. An index uses mathematical multipliers to standardize results in order to compare stats across different levels of populations. You are trying to teach stats to someone who took two years of phd level statistics. I have to seriously pull out my college receipts, but that won't even be enough. Your fragile little egos will just go to insults, red herrings, or strawmans to try to defend your twisted, uninformed views.
  13. Ah let's look at actual facts, but I guess you won't care for those. You're just here for performative bull. Let's compare the crime rates of the UK which has liberal immigration laws and Poland which has conservative immigration laws and doesn't care about being politically correct. UK crime index: 47.4 Poland crime index: 30.7 https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/crime-rate-by-country
