> [@Great\_White\_Dope](#): > > We all know why that is. I don’t know what you are getting at. Tell us why you _think_ it is. The reason I wouldn’t host a refugee is because our house isn’t big enough - we don’t have a guest bedroom, and someone sleeping on the couch would be a severe disruption of our lives. ---

10 out of 10 people who want better traffic conditions refuse to let roads be built through their house! What’s WRONG with people?!?!?!?!?! ---

Of those people who said they wouldn’t host a refugee, would they host a complete stranger from their own country? I’m guessing no. Without that information, you don’t know if those people are uncomfortable with refugees or just uncomfortable with strangers in their own home. ---

In Mr. Miskatonic’s world, allowing a refugee to use your home for a single evening is equal to destroying your home by allowing a road to be built through it. That sure is an interesting comparison for someone who claims to be pro-refugee. I mean, I’m strongly opposed to allowing an influx of Middle Eastern refugees into the West, and even I don’t think they’re quite that bad. ---

On the topic, sure, bring 'em on. Guess I’ll have to clean out the back bedroom, but I always wanted a roommate anyway. As long as they do the dishes. For reference, approximately 1 in 12 people that live in my town are refugees or their descendants. It’s not an idea, it’s reality. How many refugees live in New Brunswick, anyway? ---

Stare at the Middle East long enough, and nothing makes sense any more. To echo Primo Levi, Hell is the impossibility of reason. ---
