@Golden Rule: If its meant to be a safe place to be honest with our opinions, why did you create an incognito name?
And I meant exactly that - I wouldn't be surprised if some of the terrorists came in with the refugees. That doesn't mean I don't want to help refugees.

@agold: I mentioned it being a safe space because I don't want you to feel cornered when your opinion isn't what the majority believes on this forum. I believe in an open and honest discussion so we can challenge each others ideas, but I understand that can be hard. Which is why I chose not to affiliate my regular screen name with the discussion (also, for some reason just want to keep my potty training advice separate from my political and moral views!). Sorry, just tried to promote an open discussion and wanted to give you the opportunity to clarify what you meant, because it did come off as generalizing refugees, even if you didn't mean it to.
