I'm not extended any rights or protections under Japanese law that protects its citizens

2018-11-17 11:32:04 UTC  

Because I'm not a Japanese national.

2018-11-17 11:32:16 UTC  

I'm not arguing by law.

2018-11-17 11:32:31 UTC  

I'm not understanding what difficulty you're having with the concept of sovereignty.

2018-11-17 11:32:33 UTC  

By law you are right.

2018-11-17 11:32:50 UTC  

America doesn't own the world, so American laws don't apply to everyone yes.

2018-11-17 11:32:54 UTC  

I agree with that statement.

2018-11-17 11:33:17 UTC  

And as Americans, it's our play in determining who gets in and who doesn't.

2018-11-17 11:33:26 UTC  

However, your constitution calls some rights god given, inalienable etc. Meaning that by PRINCIPLE, they SHOULD be rewarded to everyone, even though by law this is not the case.

2018-11-17 11:33:45 UTC  

So it is unconstitutional by PRINCIPLE to limit the religious freedom of people, regardless of nationality.

2018-11-17 11:33:59 UTC  

Except we're not limiting their religious freedom.

2018-11-17 11:34:03 UTC  

You are.

2018-11-17 11:34:12 UTC  

They can practice it all they want, exactly where they are.

2018-11-17 11:34:59 UTC  

You are limiting their religious freedom because they would be able to immigrate if they stopped practicing, you are discriminating against them on the basis of religion and restricting their ability to immigrate to your country based solely on religion.

2018-11-17 11:35:53 UTC  

We restrict the ability to immigrate for a whooooole lot more than that, if that's your beef.

2018-11-17 11:36:09 UTC  

Okay...? I don't see how that is relevant here.

2018-11-17 11:36:17 UTC  

In this case you restrict it based solely on religion.

2018-11-17 11:36:45 UTC  

Which goes against the principle of religious freedom

2018-11-17 11:38:37 UTC  

Except they're not American citizens, and do not possess that right under the Constitution, and as such are fair game for us flexing sovereignty and saying we don't want any more of a backwards-ass, xenophobic religion predicated on violence in our country.

2018-11-17 11:38:43 UTC  

Ugh

2018-11-17 11:39:14 UTC  

I spent eight years in the middle of that shit. It's not something you want in your homeland.

2018-11-17 11:39:21 UTC  

Not an argument

2018-11-17 11:39:31 UTC  

I'm not talking the washed up version you see in most places in the west.

2018-11-17 11:39:39 UTC  

Blabla

2018-11-17 11:40:15 UTC  

Islam lite is what we see on the streets here, usually. Islamic equivalent of reformist or modernist Jews.

2018-11-17 11:40:27 UTC  

blablabla

2018-11-17 11:40:29 UTC  

goodbye

2018-11-17 11:40:37 UTC  

kek

2018-11-17 11:40:39 UTC  

Deuces.

2018-11-17 11:40:44 UTC  

Deuces?

2018-11-17 11:41:06 UTC  

Yeah. As in throwing deuces, two fingers up, don't let the door hit you.

2018-11-17 11:41:15 UTC  

?

2018-11-17 11:41:24 UTC  

You're not in a movie mate.

2018-11-17 11:41:38 UTC  

What are you talking about?

2018-11-17 11:41:44 UTC  

The way you talk.

2018-11-17 11:41:59 UTC  

Not sure what you mean.

2018-11-17 11:42:11 UTC  

You speak like you are in a movie.

2018-11-17 11:43:21 UTC  

Anyways, the discussion was going in circles so I stopped.

2018-11-17 11:44:25 UTC  

How am I speaking like I'm in a movie.

2018-11-17 11:44:29 UTC  

Color me fascinated.

2018-11-17 11:44:35 UTC
